Get the buggers to take it off for you? or ask them to pay you for advertising space!

Do use: soapy water, adhesive removing fluid

Don't use: blow torch, sulphuric acid

Hope this helps

Is it one of the hard plastic ones?? If so, a hairdryer used with caution to melt the glue, then pull it off, but I really really agree with wadswoaj, get them to take the bugger off, how dare they stick it on your car, was it brand new or second hand, as I can almost believe they did it to a second hand model, but not to a new one.

You could try gently warming it with a hairdryer.

Failing that, what about one of those tools that holds a stanley knife blade. Normally used for removing paint from windows...............JOKE!

Try using a credit card down the back to cut through the adhesive.

That one way they do it in the body shop.

Many, many, years ago I bought a brandnew Mini Countryman (remember those? A mini estate with bits of wood stuck over it to make it look like a real estate car - or a barn). The dealer pop riveted his aluminium name plate on to both door sills! As this was my first new car I insisted they remove them and fill in the holes - they couldn'tt understand why I objected to my new baby looking as though it were a London tube train.
