Removing Shelby requires gentle paint cutting compound & re-polish, care needs to be taken just to remove the letters and not cut throught the paint. The rear on the matt black you need to repaint, otherwise you'll remove the matt black stripes.
Andy,

I failed to remove the vent with a sander. What kind of tool sander did you use? Can you show me a picture of the tool?

Thanks.
Cheers :)

You need hand hend circular saws like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CIRCULAR-SAW-SET- ... 240%3A1318" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Although this is for wood/plastic it gives you the idea of what I mean.
