I want to remove the tatty stickers and replace them with new ones. What's the best way to remove them??

If the decals are stuck on the surface they will come off quite easily with judicious use of your mrs best hairdryer

Warm them up and peel them off slowly, remove any residue with WD40.

think you'd better be taking out shares in EDF if you've bought one of those ebay downhillers & are thinking a hairdryer will do the trick

Hairdryer, not too hot or the sticker'll go stretchy/snap. Isoprpyl alcohol's good at melting glue too (or brake cleaner, generally much the same thing)

Warm them with a heat gun or hair dryer and once you've peeled the stickers off remove any residue with Ronsonol lighter fluid.
