Hey Chas,

I see you used a wallpaper stripper to clean it, does this work well?  ive tried Ciff on mine and its cleaner for sure, but not getting the stubborn dirt of, so i will try your techniq if you say its good

Experimenting with the stripes is nice , I've always been tempted to alter the colour of the headlight decals but not sure how well received that would be  :-\
