Sold Barn Door Real Carbon Fibre Bumper Trim

[TheGrapeEscape]

I bought this on Thursday off @Pedro20001 .

I've gone to fit it Today, but it appears the guy i bought my van off is a f**king docile prat and used industrial strength glue and tape to fit the one he put on. I'm now left needing a new rear bumper

I'm going to use the pics off original advert, which can be found HERE

£10 collection from Tamworth, Staffs

Have you got any pictures of what you're left with?

 

[TheGrapeEscape]

Fuming! It's wider than this carbon one, so very noticeable

Wow that looks terrible stop looks like he might have used sick of flex or something similar.

You could try maybe using a flappy paddle or a sticker remover but it may damage the paintwork on the bumper?

Is in the attachment that goes on a drill.

I've used some of this, which is usually magic....but it won't shift it. I agree, looks like Tiger seal or something

Get a plastic Stanley type scraper thing.




And a hair dryer is what gave me the best results.

I was using plastic scraper and that stuff in pic. Used a hairdryer. It's not budging

Maybe this:

Ahh annoying. That's how I removed my arch trims that had been tiger sealed.

Soaked with the tar remover, low and slow when heating up and then scrap. A sharp fresh blade made a big difference.

He done the same to front bumper splitter. I think he had shares in tiger seal

He obviously didn't use it on the VW grill badge; it's fallen off.....

Cover the black stuff in Vaseline and leave over night .. Should become soft and sticky and easy to remove ..
Remember doing this on rear light lenses to remove them easily .

I can have a look. The guy I bought it off sold it before, but couldn't post cause of size. Once new one arrives I'll use that box and get a quote
