Warm the sticker up either a nice sunny day or a hair dryer then peel it off using a razor blade to get behind it. Take the remaning glue off with white spirit.
Be very careful

The above method is right, however I used polish to remove the excess glue and then waxed the area.

Hi

I have recently done this on my car, i too used the hair dryer method whioch is very effective. If your car is pretty new then you wont need to use a razor or any white spirit.....i used my finger nail and a clean cloth.

Regards

Ian

I used the hairdryer method and got my turbo sticker off no worries in one piece, then cleaned and polished it afterwards and you can't even tell it was there.
