bloody gutted I got the vx line kit back from the bodyshop only to find they have done them in a different shade and the finish is shocking like they mixed the paint with sand, needless to say I told im not paying for it as its wrong. so now sent them off to another paint shop the same one that had done my rear bumper the right shade. lesson learned buy it cheap buy it twice!!!

Exactly....That's why mine has just been in getting my scraped front bumper repaired by Alton Cars. Not the cheapest place but worth every penny getting a spot on colour match.Last edited by marko301; 30-04-2017, 10:56 PM.2017 Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport Sri Nav 1.5 (165ps) Turbo petrol in Lava Red - Keyless entry and start - 18” five spoke alloy wheels - Front fog lights - Tinted rear windows - Aluminium sports pedals - Ambient interior led lighting - Front and rear parking assist - Active emergency braking - Forward collision assist - Front pedestrian alert - Traffic sign recognition - Lane keep assist - Cruise control - Speed warning and limiter - Voice recognition - Bluetooth - Duel zone climate control - Front and rear electric windows - High beam assist - Auto lights - Auto wipers - Wifi hotspot - 8” colour touchscreen Navi 900 with Android Auto, Apple Car Play and DAB

Hope you get the paintwork sorted out.
Regarding the removal of the old adhesive, have a look at "caramac/caramel wheels", they are a type of buffing wheel used to remove the likes. Not used one myself, but they always seem to be well thought of.

No, I've not used one myself, but they look like the ideal tool for the job. Perhaps have a quick look on YouTube and see what you can see, bound to be plenty videos of them being used. Be good to confirm how well they work with sealant, as opposed to just sticky strips/adhesive.
