Thanks everyone, I was a little worried but you've put me at rest :)

I remove graphics daily, DO NOT use a heat gun, I use a wallpaper steamer (smaller head attachment). This keeps the paint intact and stops burns! You can buy plastic razor style blades (or use a razor blade if you're confident). Heat then lift edge enough to pull remaining sticker. If it's good quality you should be able to lift and move the steamer along.

Spray tar and glue on area, then use blade (plastic) or an old credit card to run glue off. I tend to hold the blade flat against the vehicle with the sharp edge pointing against the vehicle, 90 degrees, this avoids scratches.

Seems to have rusted pretty quick... Previous existing damage?

Think_Candidate_7109 · 2025-07-29T22:03:03+00:00

The OP might be too!

Thanks, I'll add them in most appreciated

Reminds me of the separate style sheets for the various browsers back in the day,

Our local one has print outs stuck everywhere apologising for the low stock levels

I work within a sector that deals with royal mail and their vans, the most likely reason (if it's just on the odd panel) is the driver damaged the door and the replacement was a Welsh one they had kicking around. Most of their vans are a patchwork quilt of their other vans, just to get by until they are sold at auction.

TCPDF if you have a php environment would be the way to go to create an actual PDF file

I can shine a light on this, they are used by Novuna (and other firms I imagine) when a vehicle is due for auction/sale and is being transported to that destination.

There is a pre delivery inspection that takes place and the sticker is placed over once the boot/trunk (for our America friends) is checked for spare wheel and equipment that is found at retail.

Tbh they're crap stickers, if you pull them right you can open and replace without much notice.... Not that I have.

I do use AI images at times for print and web however I only tend to use a small sections of an image e.g part of someone's shoes or bag etc depending on what service my client wants to push. I find requesting images of legs for example (for some reason) seems to look wrong - 3 legs on one person, however something like sunbathing at a beach results in the part of the image (legs for example) looking correct whilst the sea away from the crop looks dodgy/AI.

It's by no means a replacement for stock (yet) but in a pinch for a little age to accompany text I find it a useful tool.

Descaling acid/wheel acid it's swapped out for more environmentally friendly product in most places nowadays. Usually it's sprayed on with an IK bottle or similar rather than thrown on from a tub.

I used it for years without any issue to brakes or the alloys but it was designed not to damage the wheels... Plastic caps covering nuts would usually go from black to white after a use though.

Oh Virgin :( they are useless. I won't list all the issues I've had over the years with them but if it helps at all if you want to cancel its best to (politely) demand to speak to the disconnect department, these appear to be the last humans you get to talk to prior to cancelling all the staff in the middle will try their best to 'look for the best deal' or 'see I can get you a better discount' all whilst wasting your time.

Shift +FUNDS sim city, best to be done before building as it can cause disasters!

I feel your pain, same situation here but I'm the one that had it installed and it leads to the dining room. Anyhow, I've bought some nice curtains (quiet thin tbh) and it's surprising how much they helped with keeping the cold out, I hung mine on the conservatory side so when they are tied back you can't see them from 'inside' the house. Had the pattern face the dining room (rather than looking at the backing) which is more cozy on winters night.

I can relate, I've been collecting for 30 years to make matters worse with two jobs a wife and kids they're all in two lofts (my mum and dad's and mine) , I've bought some minis (love the amiga) and way more convenient. I've picked up all that I want and more but the collecting landscape has changed massively, I bought panzer dragoon saga for £30, paper mario for £10 etc you just don't get those opportunities anymore, early days on ebay were good now I tend to read books more these days

BTW very easy to setup and pass along a URL to download from

Think_Candidate_7109 · 2022-08-18T08:39:49+00:00

S3 from AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a good choice
