My number plates need swapping over from private number to standard. Has anyone a technique to remove them, other than pull?

Cheers

If they are self-adhesive items, maybe heating them up with a hair-dryer might help to release the glue?

Think this technique works if you want to remove the self-adhesive badges on the boot as well.

Remember to buy some new sticky pads to stick the new plate on!

use dental floss to cut through the adhesive pads clean off the sticky residue with cellulose thinners
