Re: Mini SG+ for next meet
Yep, I've used Superglue for my first attempt, and the clip/body seem to have dried in a different position, so now my body is lop-sided (erm, not *my* body - the car  ) ... might have to try drying it the right way up ...  |

See, that's where the velcro helps. It can take me 3 or 4 attempts to get mine straight. |

I think any attempt to "unglue" would damage your paint work. I would cut it off as close to the glue as possible but leaving the bit that is glued to the paint undisturbed. I would then reconnect the clip using double sided tape or similar. If you can't get it to sit properly after you have cut it I can give you a replacement clip for you to stick in. But like I said I think try to remove the glued on bit could only damage your paint job. |

Doesn't look like a mini to me , or is it a very clever paint job ? 
Nice looking car though  |

notice on the paint pots the letters PC for polycarb, this is the stuff you want, other brands are Parma Faskolor and Pactra. |
