He can't miss buying Toyota parts prices because Toyotas never need parts, so I don't even know why he said that. | Well Toyota isn't idiot proof, like when you rip your wiper arm off.

| today i fucked up...
removed the racing stripe but it left some thick ass adhesive, similar to ppf thats been left on for too long. i tried some 99% isopropyl alcohol and goo gone but no luck. did a quick google search, top result is to use 3M adhesive remover and a plastic scraping tool.
tried spraying the 3M stuff and wiping off without using the tool, but no luck.
sprayed on the 3M stuff and let it soak for 15mins then tried wiping off, still no luck.
sprayed, soaked, then started scraping with the tool, 5 mins into scraping (still 95% to go) i got impatient and scraped too deep and took off some paint.
fuck it! i dont have the patience for this crap.  
the rest of my aliexpress chrome delete and lower grill piece (oem piece was heavily faded) arrived.
fail: the grill piece didnt come with the tow hook cover (got in touch with the seller and was told its not included and they dont make one) wtf!!! i couldnt find just the cover on ali, had to order one from mini. this stupid cover from mini cost just as much as the whole grill piece from ali.
win: the 3 gloss black pieces from 3 different manufacturer all matches and perfect fitment.   
unpopular opinion on RS but the black trim looks so much better than chrome
before and after

It just looks like bigger mouth, were the stripes factory? What about an eraser wheel?

Personal opinion:
i think the mouth looks okay, but the eye liner is a bit much. Kinda made the car more girly.
Also racing strips looked good and typical mini. now its a bit empty looking and your eyes are drawn to the eye liners.

Ugh that residue looks like a bitch. Makes me worried about taking the wrap off the ratrolla. Although that wrap is meant to be removed eventually and this sticker isn’t. Still scary.

I think after 5 years, the residue will get stuck. Time to get a Beetle, you two.

the racing stripes was done well on the R chassis. it ran all the way from the hood to the roof and down the trunk. on the F chassis its only on the hood and has a V tapper rather than parallel. this little detail has bothered me from day one. Quote:

Still scary. | i think u should be good, ur ratrolla is garage kept. as long as the wrap is taken off within its lifespan it shouldnt be too bad from what ive been told.

It was the trauma of sitting inside your car and the car wash just ravaging the wiper and there's nothing you can do about it.

that would be hilarious, order like 20 sets of these eyelashes from Temu/AliExpress and every time you pass by a Beetle all decked out with massive wing, lowered, decaled... add a pair of eyelashes to them as a prank.
