I must be bored! Have a nineties Deefer and hate the stripe Defender sticker on the sides. Has anyone removed there's, know how to go about it?
My paint condition is pretty good but I'm guessing if I pull the sticker off the paint underneath may be a different shade. Anyone had any luck doing this / know how to go about it?

Try a paint stripper air gun. Get an adjustable one. Adjusting air flow and heat. (I also use it for covering model aircraft with heat shrink film.)
Start off heating gently.
I have used a hair dryer for removing stickers but the Defender sticker will have a stronger glue.

if you can find it, you can also use an orange oil de-glueing solution which will dissolve the glue, but the heat gun is the best. keep it away from the panel, you want just enough heat to warm the sticker and glue, if it starts to bubble, it's too hot or too close and you might remove paint as well. be patient with it and take your time.

use a boiling kettle of water and the edge of a scraper to start it off, once started keep splashing boiling water on and just pull it off doesn't effect the paint

SubscriberI rolled my Defender and the panel shop took it off for me (of course the rest of the door went with it).
They ended up taking all the decals off for me though.
It's probably the expensive way of going about it.
It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

Hi,
steam through a hose from the nozzle of a boiling pressure cooker may give enough heat and be a bit easier than hot water if you have access to one.
I have used this to steam off wall paper with success.
cheers

I have always done it with the misses hair dryer works well.
Need to do my 110 but am worried about the colour difference of the paint under the stickers. Mainly due to the fact my 110 is green it would stand out a bit. But I am going to do it and if they are bad I am going to put new stickers back on as the ones I have are nackered anyway

All of the above suggestions are probably fine and I only add this because it hasn't yet been mentioned.
We wanted to remove some of that after-market stick-on pin-striping from a S3 and the only method that was really useful was high-pressure water jet (a really high pressure commercial machine with a honda motor that we rented from Coates Coates Hire - equipment hire ).
In this case heat was not our friend - it turned this particular adhesive to an even harder to remove solid mass.
