Default Vinyl/sticker removing?

I may or may not have bought a car, possibly a CRX, that does or doesn't have some stickers on it that I'd like to remove (that part is definite) . Can anyone advise on the best method of removing vinyls and stickers without removing paint and/or dissolving plastics?

could be dodgy removing stickers as usually the paint under them is brighter than the paint on the car. is the paint work very good? you would sometimes see ex commercial vehicle's with the stickers taken off them but ya would still know if they were there if ya get me. where they one the car for long? ya might have to T-cut the rest of the car to bring up the shine to match.

a power washer. not too close though. if ya got off a bit of it, someone could pull the sticker while ya put the jet to it.

Cheers, Rich!

General, it was resprayed about a year ago so the paint is pretty good. But I'll be giving it a polish afterwards anyway.

In case there's someone who hasn't figured it out yet, I bought this one. I'll post some pics over the weekend.

Thank fecking jaysus, i thought you where buying the red mugen with carbon bonnet and was stalling with BillB about ordering my kit as I didnt want to have a car that looked the same as someone else close (enough) (my car would essentially look the same as I have similar colour wheels)

Your new car is gorgous though. The more I see rio red with white wheels the better it looks (my trackday enkeis have slowly turned grey though)
Serious power in her aswell!

Jesus thats nice!

I say keep the stickers - very JDM and it's not like you've got the stickers instead of the parts. Any idea what it's putting out?

The guy I bought it from reckons about 230, Mark, but he didn't have a dyno or anything. All I can say is it feels bleedin fast!

Stickers are almost gone, except for the large Honda logo which I kind of like and might keep.
