    yeah i used a sharpener blade, thanks guys worked out nicely also give a nice finish with methylated spirits which gives it a nice clean and removes all the stickey bits left over and then wash with water and in the end works fine :)

    Glad you got it off ok.

    For future reference..

    Eucalyptus oil dissolves almost any adhesive on stickers. Wipe on, wipe off, easy as that. If you have one on the body, or say you want to remove decals or pinstripes, use a hair dryer on the sticker and it will lift.. then peel it back and wipe off with Eucalyptus oil. Takes a few seconds... if you dont have any in the bathroom cabinet, you can buy it at a chemist for under 5 bucks.
