That pic was the aftermath of prying off the "e". Lots of weatherstripping like adhesive left over. Sould I use paint thinner to cut through this or something like a rubbing compound? I am off to floss of the 325 part now.

... removing the model numbers ("325e")? If so, use dental floss or fishing line to saw through the adhesive between the trunk lid and the numerals. Once the numerals are off the car, use mild paint cleaner/polish to clean off any remaining adhesive and smooth out the paint. On some cars, there might be a "325e" outline where the paint hasn't faded along with the rest; on a white car like yours, it's not apt to be noticeable.

Hope this helps.
