i removed the decals from my sisters EP91 on wednesday nite using a hair dryer and a stanley knife to get it lifted at the edge (i have a steady hand dont worry), and then i used Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover to get any residue off.

This is the best way and it's never failed me.
1. Warm up sticker with a hair dryer at distance.
2. Slowly peel away sticker with ease.
3. Now get WD40 and spray it on the residue.
4. Get a credit sized card and scrape away residue, will be easier as WD40 has helped penetrate.
5. After residue has been removed wash area.

Nail polish remover works 100% better :teach:
hi,
the best method is indeed to heat the sticker to help soften the glue(too hot and it can bubble the paint thou) then use some white spirit on the residue.
if the sticker leaves an outline which wont polish you can use some 2000 wet and dry and a cutting paste to sort it.
cheers

Do ya know how to take them apart?
Don't take them apart yet, get a little bit of auto sol metal polish on a rag and work away on outter part of headlight. You can also get a buffer wheel with auto sol on it for best results - work away at it and see the results
