Alwite guys,
Finally got myself a Scooby and I am now a very happy bunny!!
I want to do away with the stickers on the boot lid. It's a UK Turbo MY99 so it has Impreza Turbo 2.0 printed on it... or something like that!
Is it just a case of peeling them off or is there some mysterious magic I can work on them.
Basically, I don't want to damage the paintwork.
Cheers is advance

Boil the kettle pour the water over the badge and gently pick at it with your fingers.Thats what i did with mine when you have done that dry off and then polish with T-cut and it came up a treat cos the wrx badges on the back are a bit naff

Hairdryer worked for me too on the sticky badges - I've just debadged my STi8 including the stickers on the fog covers
BUT - if you want to remove the metal WRX / STi TYPE UK badges on the back the best way is to slide a length of nylon fishing line behind the badge, keep it flush to the bodywork, and work the nylon through the adhesive. DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO PULL ON THE BADGE as it can damage the panel or paint. The remaining adhesive can be removed with WD 40 and gentle elbow grease.
Took me 5 mins to take all the badges off
