Anyone got any suggestions for removing an old GB sticker from the Chimaera?
When I try to pick it off, it seems it has been there a while and chips off in tiny bits. I could sit and pick it off but it would take me about a week. Any ideas? biggrin:

try using a hair dryer to warm the sticker to melt the glue. Just don't get too carried away with the heat, we wouldn't want you damaging the car

Try softening the adhesive with white spirit or 3M adhesive remover,the latter is a bit pricey tho.

Liquid lighter fluid is always a good one to use ( the sort of stuff you fill Zippo lighters up with that always smells orrible), peel a little bit of the sticker up, then flood the lighter fluid in behind, leave for a few moments then it will start to melt the glue, as you pull the sticker off keep squirting more fluid behind to keep the glue melting. It's very good at removing the sticky residue left over by stickers etc as well and not to mention very cheap to buy.
