Best and easiest thing to do is find a helpfull bodyshop to do it for you, iv herd some horror stories of peaple who have tried to remove them themselves.

A hair dryer will warm the adhesive to ease removal. Then a piece of fishing wire or similar could be used to work back and forth through the sticky backing stuff to remove it. I reckon some tar remover or similar then to get rid of any gooey residue (!) left over, then a good polish should sort it.

heat it up with a hairdrier etc get it nice and soft, then just peel it off, gentle bit of t-cutting will remove anything left
