ahh fair enough,, i didnt think you papered up the NISSAN.. when i did mine i pained the lot and just sanded the paint off the HOLDEN..i reckon if the 'turbo' was 1 or 2 papers thicker it would look mad black

well if its only sticky paper,, try heating it up with a hairdryer or something it will melt the adheasive and be easier to get off
