Had new bumpers painted, smoothed etc, looking good and waiting to re-fit the spats (mud flaps) on the rear.
Problem - the worlds strongest most stubborn double sisded tape stuck all over the rubber spats.
Tried:-
1. Petrol - no.
2. Thinners - no.
3. Evo Stick adhesive remover - no.
4. heat gun and scraper - no.
5. Stanley knife blade and 3 fingers - don't ask!
6. really angry stare - no.
then I went to my local paint factor with tales of woe - Ding! he showed me this wheel that smells like fudge toffee (tastes a bit like it too - don't ask!)
Got it back - sort of held the rubber spats in place and went to town with my variable speed drill - no faster than 3500 rpm - several minutes later - loads of smelly yellow dust - smooth spats and new double sided tape fitted - ready to go.
Now all I have to do is ease the screws and fittings out of the old bumper and fit them on.
