Title: ELINA LIGHTNING BOLT SEATS
Post by: bodamus on February 28, 2008, 07:02 PM

Anyone know of a way to remove the Lightning Bolts from the Elina Lightning Bolt Seats. I need mine to be plain Black any ideas of a product that will remove the Lightning Bolt without buggering the Seat?

I can try it on an old Blue one first to see how it goes.

Thanks bodamus :daumenhoch:

ian,try some cutting compound like g3 as used in body shops,its abrasive and might remove bolt,but shouldn't harm plastic as its used to polish cars,if not and you have an old seat try some thinners but be careful as it can melt some plastics,if you cant find any cutting compound lmk and i will sort some out for you ;)

Hi Bodamus

I would be interested in buying the black lightening bolt if you sell it (if its mint)

I have got a plain black Elina seat on one of my bike's - I will send a photo if you're interested!

Thanks!!

Would nail polish remover work? I've used it to get paint and decal shite off chrome.....
