i just used a screwdriver in a rag to peel it off and used sticky stuff remover from my mates mum and came off no probs lol, and yeah you can but youd need to either weld a plate over the hole or fibreglass and filler it all and the usual prime and paint, dewipering makes rear end look million times better aswell mate
