Not sure if this is in the right section mods, feel free to move it if necessary.

My coupe has a 'neverbeen' nurburgring style sticker on the back which I want to remove. I washed the car at the weekend and had a bit if a pick at it, but couldn't get it started ie peeling off - its on there really well.

Anyone got any tips for removing? Heating it up maybe? I'd rather it stayed on than I damaged the paint removing it, but only just.

Any advice appreciated.

I used a hair dryer to get the ageing and faded Fiat badge off.

A kettle full of boiling water worked well for me.

This is what you need

The above will get it off in a flash.

If it scratches the paint then it'll double up as a rear 1/4 removal tool

Finally got round to doing this.

Just poured boiling water on and it peeled straight off.

Thanks
