[Mk2] [Turbo] How to best de-modify (or rather strip paint safely) from rev 3 lights?
As this old pic shows the previous owner had a bit of a R33 fetish, as he painted up the rev 3 lights fitted to the car. I know from talking to some people that it's entirely subjective and it might not look that bad to others but they really bug me, especially the painted over reflectors and the fact that due to being a cheap job, it's starting to flake off around the edges.
Is there any safe method of stripping the paint back from the lights without damaging the lights, or am I stick with the wannabe Skyline look?

If its already pealing it can be stuck that great . Try a hot pressure washer .

Will do, thanks. Failing that are there any chemicals that are safe to use?
