Any tips on how to get the old ones off and the new ones on?
I considered putting a line of masking tape along the bottom and up one side so I could position them exactly but it looks like they have a clear border and are blue peter sticky back plastic specials.

Where did you get them big guy?

2 - Gob it on with fekkin Surer Glue... see Eck

Canna get Surer Glue up here just now, think Ecks bought all the supplies and is hoarding them to sell at a profit later.

Got them from Town and County, they had to order them but got next day a tenner each + vat.
While I was at it got them to get me 4 Prodrive Centre caps £8 odds + vat each, quite reasonable I thought?

The wing decals should come with a groove cut out so it fits against the side repeater if that makes sense? Then it makes it a piece of piss to fit them

failing that, feel free to drop in by my work if you want and I'll fit them for you - I'm forever getting asked to fit/remove badges for folk so I've got quite good at it

Am sure it would be free to a fellow wr1 owner

I reckon about £2k to do your decals, going by his valet prices!

Only joking Clark!

But they would be the best hung decals on this site

Yeah, £32.50 an hour!

a nice hot jet wash will do it, or gently warm them up with a hair dryer and peel them off slowly.

make a small paper template before taking the old ones off to make sure the new ones go back in the same place. Assuming that they are in the right place to start with!

or take the easy route and go see Mr Kent...

Whilst a hot jet wash may work 9 times out of 10 there's always the risk of taking part of the clear coat with it so I'd avoid that option
