How do I remove this from my car? Picture below for reference.

 

 

Thanks!

they are bonded on, so just pull it off, it will break though.

 

you could try getting a blade behind it.

Try warming it up with a hot air blower and ease it off with a blade!

Ah I see.

I had one of these on my 205 gti about 20 years ago , it is attached along the top and bottom edges by double sided sticky tape if I remember correctly , similar to the 309 reflective panels .If its worth saving you should be able to get it off in one piece .

If you can get it off in one piece and wanted to sell it, Dave would be keen : http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?showtopic=160977

Heat up the sticky stuff and use fishing wire to cut between the board and the body.

Worth savimg , there's a couple on eBay at the moment for £100+

Yeah I'm keeping it. It's already coming off at the edges and has a thick layer of green gunk behind it. I just want to remove it and clean up before re-bonding properly.
