Get the new rimmage and ride height sorted is the main thing - Then I just want to make the car more presentation-worthy. Needs a ruddy good bit of detailing. Thinking of busting out the t-cut.

Oh and I want to have a crack at removing my bump strips if I can find the courage to attempt it.

Just pull them off, I don't know what you're worried about nothing bad will happen :)
 
You've got a black car how off colour could it be?!? The glue unfortunately that's a byproduct of taking the strips off
