how do you remove a british numberplate without ripping the paint off or damaging the car? i think its glued on or something.
any advice very welcome

Most plates are installed by the use of double sided tape........... if you pull gently, you should not damage the paint.

A hair dryer helps to soften the glue.

thanks for the advice. so i tried to slowly force the number plate off at one edge, and it gives, but i can see that the yellowish stuff that makes the number plate, it kind of wants to stay down, and it is just coming off the transparent bit of the plate.
i dont think i can get a hairdryer down to my car here, shall i try sticking a knife blade between the car and the plate?

Definitely don't use the knife.

If you can't get a hair dryer to the car, I've used dental floss before now pulled to and fro behind the plate.

Dental floss everytime. Brand does not seem to influence performance

If you need to remove the adhesive try cooking oil.
