    Those damned things aren't even stickers in my car, they're woven into the sun visor somehow.

    I wonder if that's how the now infamous blue BMW met it's demise?

    Now that I seem to only be able to look at it in the garage I might, just might, start peeling off my stickers. Maybe :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I usually take them off, but haven't on the Blade yet. I'll get em off during my isolation vacation. It's always a pig to get the glue residue off though, which I'm not looking forward to!

    Use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, that way it should come off attached to the sticker and not the swing arm.

    I actually stuck the sticker to the inside back page of the owners manual. After all it does have 'important' information on there! :)

    Finally got around to peeling off the stickers!! The orange one was well sticky and stretched a wee bit though. Now the dilemma of what to do with it bare??? Do I add another nice looking sticker, but it won’t be symmetrical as the other side has a different shape?
    Methinks I need back to work :eek:

    Tyre brand decals or sprocket brand are the only thing you should be putting on your swing arm if you really have too! ;)

    I didn’t realise they came with that much rubbish on them.

    To be honest I’ve not wheeled it out into the daylight yet to see but I did get a couple stickers with this little beaut that might not look out of place if needs be...
