Tomorrow I will get my new ITR. It is CW and stock (except 7*16 wheels). There are big stickers like you can see on this pic..





Those are not Ricer stickers, those are sponsoring stickers from Honda Germany. Doesn`t look toooooo bad imho but I like it clean.

well,
I will have to throw in my suspension and all performance parts, my JDM engine and whatever and at least remove the stickers... not to forget to give my own supporter a little bit space on the car.

I never removed stickers from such a big surface. How would you start doing that?
Any Tips ?

The wheels must go I think although the size is nice.. 7*16 is okay for an ITR. But those are not lightweight and not the prettiest... well, they will come with the car, so who cares if I continue running them for a while... Glad to climb in my own R again after crashing my precious #01858

Too much work imo.

Go to a detailing shop and have them do it - much less headache.

 

Looks like a long job. If you do it yourself, try a blowdryer and goo gone. I don't know if you guys have that there but it works really good and does not hurt the paint.

USE a razor blade wont take too long. ............ JK


Listen to BPR, bring it to a detailing place to do it.

I have to agree. I thought this was another "how do I remove my TYPE-R stickers?" post.

Otherwise I can forsee quite a few hours spent scratching and digging all that stuff off.


Good luck Sven, so that's the replacement.

 

if you can't get to a detailing shop, use a hairdryer to warm up the sticker and it should peel right off. Then use Goo Gone (not sure if it's availabe in germany) to take off any left over adhesive.

Thanks....
Feels good to be back soon... This ITR is very clean and I`m glad I could save all my good parts from the wreck... So this CW will be as fast as the old one.. And a CW is pretty too... Too bad my cp035 are destroyed. I will have to wait regarding rims.. Maybe I will swap to stockies.. we`ll see.

 

Glad to see you got another R.

As for the stickers, I'd probably try to do it myself using a heat gun and a lot of patience, starting with the rear corner. I've had good results using a Jim Dunlop yellow tortex guitar pic to remove various stickers without damaging paint (use it to peel up an edge). They should be available at any music shoppe.

Good luck.

 

i am glad you got yourself another R

 

leave them on there, they aren't that bad.

most of the time stickers like those come off fairly easily.

 

i'd pay to have them removed, if they've been on the car for any amount of time, they will leave glue residue behind and that's a PITA to remove.

Good to see you got yourself another R Sven! CW is cool !!
Good luck in changing parts, I'll bet you do it pretty quick

 

doesn't look that bad..
bring it to a shop, if anything goes wrong, you have some one to blame for


btw, do you know the answer??

I used to be sponsored by a graphics company... meaning I had graphics all over my old EK

It's not hard to take off at all. Just get a hair dryer, heat up the whole car really good, and then heat up the edges before you start peeling at them... but don't get it too hot.

To remove the residue, use citrus orange clean spray stuff. Works wonders. This is what a sign shop would use if they did it themselves. Good luck.

 

Okay,

I bought the car... it is VERY clean and the engine fine... not a puller but a brave guy (I can feel it wants to pull but it can`t (stock header, stock exhaust and all that sh*t)...
I found no dings in the hood or things like that. Only the windshield has a small ding so I could drop the price 950 Euros...A very fine, clean and shiny white ITR....

And the stickers..... call me a *****, but I looked at the car and I kinda liked them. They don not hurt performance so I`m thinking of keeping them for a while... The car has a very agressive look... much more than you can see on the pic above. As I wrote, those stickers are nothing aftermarket stuff, they come from Honda Germany....... I don`t like to be a ricer

The ser no is very high-- 00-#05874

 

Glad you hear you are back behind the wheel.

 

removing stickers: Heißluftfön, und/oder mit dem Hochdruckreiniger mit paar cm Abstand hinspritzen....hab so einige Pickerl meines Vorbesitzers entfernt. Klebereste mit Benzin und gleich wieder abwaschen...macht dem Lack gar nichts.

Wenn die Pickerl gut halten, dann geht eh nur Heißluftfön, wenn sie leicht herunter gehen, dann fetz sie mit dem Hochdruckreiniger runter.

Sorry guys....I was too lazy to write it in Ingliz

edit: How much you payed for the catr?! Will you part out your wrecked one or will you sell the whole wreck.....or keep it for spare parts?

 

If/When your remove them, if they are vinal, they will simply peel right off. Just do it slow and durring cool temps. If it is to warm out when you do this, the stickey ISH will stay stuck to your paint. If it is colder outside, then it will lift right off. Also, do it when the car has just been washed, then when the stickers are off, wash it again. You should be fine after that. If there is anything else stuck on the car, you can rub it off with a Sham.

 

Good thing the car is white... if it was yellow/black you may notice paint color difference.

Du Moese!

Kidding!

Actually, it's kind of cool that they're factory support stickers. I'd be a tad embarrassed to drive on the street every day with them, but I'll bet it looks sweet on a track.

 

NOOOO stop. Ur gonna be takin away 10 hp. naw j/k. take them ***** off by a detailer. their ugly anyways.
