At a guess gently warming with a hairdryer may help !

+1 on the hair-dryer, providing the stickers have not been lacquered. I would also try a bit that's not to conspicuous to make sure the colour of the paint has not faded

Hair dryer or heatgun. If using a heat gun don't go too close or keep it in one place too long!
Some of the glue may be left behind, if you don't have tar/glue remover a
little bit of petrol on a rag does the trick to remove the glue.

I removed all my rally stickers shortly after I got my car. Wouldn't fancy doing it again....took me and a mate about 7 hours I think it was, and our fingers were bleeding by the end of it
