Sorry but this is not about my masser. Actually about my mini....
Minis always have lots of decals. (Or 'stickers' in English).
Mines a Checkmate edition, and hence has some checks and other bits of decal on the front wings. I have the replacements, but don't trust myself to either get the old ones off without damaging paint, or applying the new ones straight.

Anyone know anyone in the North, preferably Yorkshire, who would do the job right?

In the past I have used a hairdryer in conjunction with a high pressure airline worked for me just fine then just apply warm soapy water

Today will be an ideal day to remove the stickers - leave the car is full sun for a few hours then take your time, I remove the the stripes off the bonnet of a Mini Cooper on a hot day.

Got a friend to who knew what he was doing to put the new ones on though !

Ta guys but I really don’t want to do it myself. Guaranteed I’ll make a mess of either removal or applying new. Or both. I want to pay someone skilled so if anyone knows a place please advise

Any car wrapping place should be able to do it for you.
