Hi,
After my bump it has ripped the white stencil off the black back, so its hanging off just now. Getting a new one tomorow but I don't know how to remove it.
Its stuck on with the sticky pads that it comes with.
Here are the pics;
They just wont budge at all.
Thanks
Jordan

Get something in between to help prise it off. Use steady pressure, it will come off.

Take a really sharp knife and a heat gun and they should just come straight off.

Use fishing line etc to cut through the pads. Then use heat gun to get what's left on the bumper off.

Jesus Christ if you can't get a number plate off, should you EVER attempt to do things on your car by yourself?

Last time I checked I wasn't called Jesse Jackson 
I wasn't belittling him anyway, the " " implied I was joking about.
Anyway, does everyone practice what they preach? No
