Postby MattMulhall » Fri Nov 20, 2009 10:17 pm

Hi guys,

purchased a 97 white gx auto today and it rocks, there are FTO-Ireland stickers on it so I was compelled to join! :smt001
I'm new to this all!

Them Dragons are unique in Ireland.. Everyone to their own taste though. If you do take them off, I bet there's a "ghost" image left underneath.. :D

How long were they on the car G? If they were on a while then some compound should bring the consistency back to the paintwork if there is an image left underneath.

They've been on there nearly 4 years. Might take a good bit of "T-Cut" to sort it...

A buffing wheel with some buffing paste will get rid of them with a half hours efforts.
Currently in my collection:
'98 Toyota Starlet...
'79 Mini Clubman 1380cc ~100BHP (I hope)
'79 BMW 728

That car's good value if it's now on Irish plates and is as described.
