the best way to remove stickers is to warm them up with a hairdryer to loosen the glue/adhesive holding them on and then carefully remove/peel them off.

i'd try this initially but someone maybe along soon with other ideas!

hope this helps :)
 
i would also try it with the hairdryer, but be careful with the heat that you dont melt the sticker to the bumper. and/or damage the laquer! give it some heat try to peal them off then clean the rest off with tar remover of something like that, that will break down the sticky gunk thats left!
 
I use a heat gun for stickers. Wave it around the sticker just warming it up and gently peel away.

If you have sticky gunk left over just get some t-cut on it, normally does the trick, if not, then tar and glue remover.
 
this is what i did
get a hairdryer and heat up the corner of the sticker enough that you can pick a corner up then let it cool down , because if you heat up to glue it tends to stick to your paint work well mine did. but if there still is glue on your paint work get some autoglym tar remover it gets rid of it easy
btw nice car
 
i just pick them up with my nails or a sharp blade..if you try this be very careful not to damge the paint, start with the edge's of the sticker, after you have successfully removed it, give it a polish too
 
Hairdryer is the way to do it without any damage, should come off nice and easy after that.
 
Cheers lads :D

Al give this a try soon as possible , weather aint to hot today :(

:nice:
 
Aww kool :D

Located in glasgow by anychance stevo200 ? haha
 
Seems a good tool but a bit of overkill for stickers if thats all your going to use it for. I would do with the hairdyer option, not too harsh and works well. Heat guns can be a bit too much and you could risk burning/damaging the paint. Work bit by bit with a hairdryer and it will slowly come away from the bumper when you peel it off, any residue can be removed with white spirit or petrol and then just clean off afterwards.
 
I've always used boiling water straight out the kettle!! Always worked perfectly for me!!
