Hi,
My recently bought mini has the 2 white (greyish with age) pinstripes and Cooper Laurels down the side and I was wondering if anyone knew how to remove these pinstripes as it doesn't appear to be a sticker.
Searched the forum but couldn't find out anyone that had asked before.
Cheers, Jonathan

Try a hair dryer, then use white spirits, to remove the gum, if any is left on

Thanks for the quick feedback! Would the white spirit not remove the laquer and paint also?
