Got black flaps and recently removed large pink sti stickers that were on them as getting crinkled and not to my taste. Got prodrive stickers to put on. However they need really good clean, any recommendations on best stuff to use to get them nice and black and shiny ? Stickers have left sti lettering marks behind hope I can get these off . Tried to get a flap off today but one of the bolts just kept turning grr .

Can't you get behind the bolt and get a hold of the nut? Make sure there free from dirt and grease before you apply vinyl. Fairy liquid is a de-greaser, isopropanol alcohol is good for prepping a surface for vinyl also.

Might sound a bit silly, but trust me, t-cut them. It takes them back to new.
