Can anyone help, my STI is adorned with the large WRX sticker on the back which I wish to remove.

Any idea's how best I can do this without ruining the paint work??

Thanks in advance for help.

Gently heat up with a hairdryer and it will soften and should peel off without any probs!

Excellent advice by Annabel, and also an excellent decision to take that Surf Shack thing off as well

If your car is more than a year or two old you may still end up with your WRX decor. Especially if your car is whit. You might have to lightly T-CUT the surrounding paintwork to remove all traces.

A paint/stripping heat gun is also good at this, use it gently! A scalpel or very sharp knife will help lift the corners of the sticker so you can peel it off. Be careful to catch the sticker and not the paintwork!

I used methylated spirits to clean any adhesive residue off the paintwork before cleaning and waxing.
