Default Need help removing the Porsche sticker on back of car

I put on the "Porsche" label on the back of near the bumper. And I screwed up a couple of the letters. The "R" is really off. How can I get it off? If I do get it off can, and how, do I get it back on? Or do I need to order another one?

Heat gun and or solvent to remove any glue.
It will be ruined upon removal I'm pretty sure.
Some talk about an attachment you put on a grinder that is like a big pencil eraser but I think that is more applicable for twenty year old stone gaurds.

Would a hair dryer do the trick?

yep. probably better to use a hair dryer anyways. You've got a lesser chance of ruining paint that way.

Doubt the hair dryer will produce enough heat. It will be ruined when you take it off. It might be betterto run the car by a window tinting place and ask them to remove it. They are experienced with the heat guns and I bet they wouldnt charge much.
