COLIN
make sure you leave the decals submersed for long enough. you will know when they are ready as they will just fall of the backing paper. they will then just glide onto car. move them into position carefully then dap the excess water off with lint free cloth. i find a bit of kitchen roll will do.
redone my mexico in 10 mins. only cause everybody was moaning the red one was a bit short at front.
