I would recommend using a hair dryer, you would need to peel it off slowly though whilst you heat it

Yep a hair dryer or paint stripper gun set on low will soften up the glue to allow you to peel the stickers off. Might need a bit of a polish after tho.

use the hair dryer - if it feels like its burning your fingers.....its too hot / too close.

you only need to warm the vinyl to soften the glue behind it :)
