Stanley blade! Hold your finger flat on the side of the blade and gently nip the corner, as it slowly starts to peel, keep your finger where it is, but put the sticker between it and the blade

Will come right off in one go hopefully

Great in-dept detailed post there chief!

I'd be more inclined to go with wd40 and fingernails rather than anything metal.
Heat works too as it loosens the glue.

Combine this step with direct heat from a hairdryer - even better if you can heat the back of the panel and it will give better results. Use petrol, acetone or nail polish remover to get adhesive residue off.

Never thought about it, will look closer later on, if there is scratch, might will put IE sign (white oval with IE printed on it)

Heat from a hair dryer or heat gun - dont leave it on the panel too long....enough to soften the glue, but not heat the panel to a very hot temp.
Use your finger nail to try lift a corner...try a few of them, one should lift easily.
When you get a corner to lift, with gentle heat, keep the sticker/glue warm and pull it off slowly, be patient.
Once fully removed, allow the area to cool and then use a dedicated car "tar and glue" remove to remove the remaining residue....if there is a large amount, use heat to remove the thick/heavy bits, then the glue remover.

Use Jizer to get rid of the residue of the adhesive

- test on a small inconspicuous area first etc

Beware of using heat. Too much will soften the paint and remove that along with the sticker. If you're using heat, do not use any metal implements to scrape it off.

Stanley blade and patience will take it off, particularly when it's a plastic one: it's not going to disintegrate as you tug on it.

eventually went off , just catch a corner with nail, and peal off easy.

thanks anyone for advice .
