Many, many years ago I was unable to find a black crash helmet at the right price (not many pennies back then) but
there was one with stickers all over it, so got that one and used a hair dryer to remove them, with great success.

Hope this helps

Ned :wink:

Hello,

+1 for the hairdryer! Softens the glue allowing removal and then polish the area to get rid of any residual.

Best regards,

David

and when applying the new one fine water spray and a credit card as a squeegy to allow the new one to go in place without air bubbles

Hi ceepee, where did you source the decals from as I've been trying to get one for a BCR. The ones from Britain were difficult to fit and as the German ones seem OK I might try them.

Hi Mel, i sourced the German decals from an on line site,can't remember which one, i think they cost about £40.00 ,but that seemed to be for two or at least they sent me two, the quality is first class as they seem to be factory items
