Removing Stickers and Badges?
 
Whats the best way to remove the STi stickers form the fog light covers, would using a heat gun be ok? Also removal of the STi badge on the boot? As dont want to damage the paint work under the badge and stickers!

yes mate heat gun use in short blasts so as not to damage the paint.:thumb:

For the boot badge apply some light heat, wedge one of those crappy fake credit cards that you get in the junk mail under a corner and start to lift, applying heat to the underneath as you do. Use you favourite tar and glue remover to take the residue off when you've finished (or you can just use turps like I do)

I use VERY warm water in a jug etc,keep pouring on decal which will soften and peel off easy.I did the same with badges using old credit card to prise off badge whilst pouring warm water gradually loosening it.Patience required :thumb:Remove residue as above.

Good comeback there, I meant to say I used my manly finger nails - like small titanium chizzels.
