looks naff removed... (imho)

n cost a bomb to replace!!!

should come off easy enuf with no damage to paint, just use some white spirit to get the sticky stuff off

be warned tho, if the paint's faded, then it wont have under the strip, so you may have a visible difference in the colour of paint where the strips was

And only remove them on a hot day, or warm with a hot air gun as they will pull paint off on a clod day.
