I got given some tickford wings from my brother (3 of them) and wasn't going to put them on the car but did (its a au2 forte). Anyway I don't really like them and its probably a bad idea been a forte and wan't to remove them. Iv removed the OHC Intech badge off the fender already.
The thing is I want to remove the one off the boot for sure but im not to sure about the fender as it might look a bit bare. Maybe just a bit of metho will see it gone? |

Noooo Not on a Forte!!!!!!
Flinty will kill you! But seriously, hairdryer or a bit of heat to wings should see them come straight off without any hassles

lucky its not a series 1 au forte or you would be better off just keeping the wings and burning the car

Series one xr's are preety good there isn't really anything wrong with the series just the series 1 forte looked yuck and the small brake issue.
Im still deciding if i should remove the tickford wings off the fender... hmmm The back looks alot nicer without them ricing it up. |

I wouldnt use metho on a painted finish. Hairdryer is a good option, if youve got a really small flat headed screwdriver and a steady hand you can prise it off from one end and then just peel it off, although i wouldnt recommend doing it that way as it may chip the paint. I did it cos i didnt really care if the paint chipped or not (its stuffed anyway), and luckily it didnt leave a mark. Just a good scrub with eucalyptus oil to remove the traces of the glue.

The only part of an AU1 that needs burning is the Forte whale teeth grill.

I think the whole "burning" of anything may just be a bit too much. How about a nice, politically correct "replacing"? :
