My son just started driving. Last fall, I noticed that a hole had been punched in the front bumper passenger side on my Beetle. It looked like someone had hit it and pushed the plastic over into a bunch. My son is going to the local community college, so it could have been him or some other college kid who caused what I assume to be parking lot damage (he didn't confess to it, and he's fairly honest about such things).

I cut off the bunched-up plastic on the bumper which created a hole. When my Obama/Biden sticker came, I decided to put it over the hole, but to do that, I first had to cover the hole with duct tape. I did that, then put the sticker on. It looked great!

So when I went to remove the Obama/Bidensticker, it was no problem as I was pulling it off duct tape, not off the bumper.

I sort of like the idea that my new Obamacare sticker is covering up a hole in my "ailing" car bumper.

I have heard that heating it up with a blow dryer will get them off. It works with bumper stickers that have been applied to glass... as in my rear window, but I've never tried it on a real bumper. Good luck.

I thought you were gonna put on an "Obama-Biden 2016" sticker, just to make the RW heads explode in your neighborhood.
