Removing rear decals and bonnet lettering.
Just wanted some advice on the best way to remove the "Defender" decal and "Land Rover" plastic logo on the rear of the Defender. I'm replacing them with the cast series style badge but don't want to damage the paintwork.

Same with the bonnet letters, want to remove them without affecting the paintwork.

DO i just heat them up and carefully peel them off?

Dental floss behind the badges, use a sawing motion. After that as above to remove the residue. It's only about a quid to buy in the supermarket
