might do mate, didnt read that bit
Can you not just put the new one over the top of it then, i cant see another way of getting it off without heat, unless your gonna sit there for a while and try and prise it off?

I wouldnt touch it faded or not especially on a limited run model and if their still original decals. Keep it original unless you can get the complete decal kit from Subaru, all the copy decals are not the same colour as originals!

The RB5 decal will be just that: a one piece decal like the ones on UK cars that say, "Impreza Turbo 2000 AWD". (Although mine has been replaced).
The "Prodrive" one will be laser cut vinyl. Easy to apply btw, and any decent signwriter will make you one.
It's what my Turbo 2000....sticker is now. Neater.
Try Grahame Goode for stickers, he does proper ones, you may find an RB5, or ring a del=aler for a quote.

I also recommend hot water if you not want to ruin the wax around. If you can the use hair dryer and chemicals to maybe remove the glue leftovers

Bit harsh!!!
I used to own a RB5 and was able to match the colours and as working in a sign company full access to all colours and production methods.
We (THE RB% owners club) sell the RB5 Stickers in the club shop and they are indentical to the originals which Subaru stopped selling years ago. I wouldnt have it any other way as I'm a stickler for perfection (part of my job)!!!

Not harsh at all, i would prefer the car to be kept original thats all, and as for the OC stickers being identical!!!
