Warm up with a hairdryer and use some fishing line in the same manner as a cheese wire. Residue left on the panel should come off with white spirit. If you get a sticky residue on a hard surface, for several years I've used a homemade concoction that works brilliantly and causes no damage at all. Mix about half a teaspoonfull of cooking oil ( any sort you have at hand ) with enough baking soda to make a thin paste. Coat the problem area with it and then use the end of your finger to rub the glue off ( some elbow grease required for some adhesives ). When all is clean, degrease with your solvent of choice ( I like panel cleaner ).
I use it so frequently these days that I've made up a very small jar of the stuff. Keeping it appears to cause no problems.

Hmmm, which one? Bi carbonate of soda or Baking powder? Baking soda is not a familiar product... |

I used to get all my numberplates from eBay sellers and chose ones where no documentation was required (so advertised as 'show plates' but had all the appropriate info shown so just the same as road legal ones).
However .... A few months ago I needed a rear plate for a tow bar rack and could not find a seller on eBay that did "undocumented" plates that would appear to look legal. Seems that there has been a bit of a crackdown on that (and while inconvenient, about time!).
So went to a local motor factor and got one made up that way, showing the V5C and whatever.
