1/ Hairdryer

2/ 0.06mm guitar string or similar

3/ Pre heat around the Letters / decals then using guitar string or similar use a sawing effect behind the decals 5 mins and they are off,

4/ The backing from the decals may still be on the car use either a washing up glove and prepare to wear a fingerprint out by rubbing off.

That's the way i did mine but other owners will have different methods Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

The residue will wipe iff almost instantly with thinners on a rag. Be careful though, and don't do it on new paint. Used this method myself many times and saves the fingerprint removal method!

Rather than chrome, how about the aluminium look lettering on the MY2010 Range Rover? It really stands out on a dark car - especially black.

The added contrast makes the paintwork look deeper (and hence cleaner!). Researching my first Range Rover purchase
