Best way to remove bonded on cycle wings that the previous owner bonded in wonky?

Thanks 😂

A little warmth (SWMBOs hair dryer has done me well) to soften the donding and a decent paint scraper to gently open a gap.

Go slowly and gently to avoid damage and it isn't too difficult to do. Go at it too fast and you risk cracking the GRP.

Just Sikaflexed on so I will give the cheese wire and warmth method a shot. Thanks again

If it's on with a PU adhesive such as tiger seal or sikaflex you'll need to get cheese wire in and cut through it then spend an age removing the residue. Heat won't help a great deal. I bonded some rear arch protectors on that moved while curing. what a nightmare removing them was.

If it's just been sikaflexed on the backside you could slide a thin wire (e.g. top 'E' guitar string) and use it like cheesewire to cut through?

If it's been fibreglassed in I would have thought a dremel with a little angle grinder disc would be a good bet?

MIG wire garotte, use like a cheese wire as above.

Just leave them on the car, and do a few hundred miles, they will soon fall off,
