Attempt 1:

Method: fingernails/various scraper type instruments/white spirit (yes, white spirit - i am an ass!)

Time taken: 30mins
Result: horrible mess, some apparently permanent paint damage :-(
Back to the drawing board, time to search online for some tips (thank you londonfgss). So...
Attempt 2:

Method: Heating up area with transfer with hairdryer and simply peeling off in one go.

Time taken: 5mins
Result: pretty much perfect
The moral of the story kids? If you got the urge to remove some transfers, please get a hairdryer.
