I'm sure it's been discussed but I'm trying to find info/ video ect on the best way to remove faded wheel arches and adhesive from a 03 D2.
Thank you in advance Tom

I pulled each eyebrow away starting at one end and working towards the other. A 3M rubber pinstripe removal wheel in a drill removed much of the remaining adhesive. Some paint friendly solvent and rubbing compound removed the rest. It took me about 1 hour to complete the task. I like the look. Shown is my '99 DI, '02 D2 Kalihari and '02 stock D2 for comparison.
