Www.subarubits.co.uk............fail!!!!
Bought a sticker of these guys via eBay. Went to stick it on and it's gone and removed some paint. Am not a happy guy.
Just wanted to let you guys know so be warned.

The car is fine underneath. I prepped and cleaned the area properly. At the end of the day I was trying to make other members aware not have my car slagged off!!!

I've put a sticker central further down the boot. Could it be localised to a certain area?

looks more like the car has faded with age and someone has used t cut colour magic on it to dress it up prior to sale and all you've done is pull the polish off the car

Stickers are meant to stick, I'm sure OP would be complaining if it came off in a carwash...

Just bought mudflaps and decals off them. No problems whatsoever.
I'd agree with the poor paint theory. Unless you used IPA or something that softened the paint before applying.

In addition you mounted the sticker completely in the wrong place if you wanted to make it look how it should that sticker or similar to was mounted centrally on the boot on the jdm cars. Just saying.

At the end of the day I was trying to be helpful to others. Fair enough I never thought of a paint fault as I never had any probs before and it looked fine to me. But there is no need for insults about my car or anything and I wish I'd never started this thread now!
