Having thoughts on removing the side bump strips, what's the best method you guys have used.
- Would you be expecting the paint to be in good nick underneath ?
- What would you use to remove the old tape and residue ?

Hairdryer or heat gun, use a trim tool or a plastic card to get underneath, then use a toffee wheel to remove the residue

Yep as above works well. Defo need the toffee wheel though. It does look better without in my opinion

Re: Body side bump strips
go easy on it and dont try to rip it off before its ready because it will take clear coat with it! Heat, toffee wheel and patience. Worth doing, really cleans up the overall look imo
