Stuck on with foam trim tape.

Warm slightly with hot water or hairdryer and they should come off. be gentle if the paint doesnt look too healthy.

I used a hot kettle of water and a wire tie through the tape

after warming up with the hairdryer or water, good quality dental floss helps to separate the numbers from the bootlid without snapping

Yeah i used a thick bit of cotton with washing up liquid to act as a lubricant. worked a treat.

good quality waxed dental floss, run behind the numbers and then some bug and tar remover will get any remaining bits.
