Just received James, many thanks Any top tips for applying them to the car? Is it best to put soapy water on the area first so you can make adjustments before letting it dry? Thanks again mate - see you there! Nige

Yep a few tips for application: Use a small lenth of masking tape along the top of the sticker (still with both backing plates, thick and thin paper present), apply to the area of the car you want. Flip the sticker up and remove the thick white paper. Then, little by little, in a downward motion, apply the sticker to the car. then remove the thin paper. I wouldn't use a soapy water, but make sure the surface is clean. I applied the big stickers with SimonN a couple of evenings ago and we go no bubbles. I would make sure the surface is well waxed, just to make removal easier. On the suject of removal, i have been assured that there will be no problems, the recomendation is to heat lighty with a hair drier, or wait for a sunny day. cheers James

They're on!!! Yes I fecked it up a bit but nobody will notice Looks brilliant. I'll do some pics later

[iandhd]

Can't wait

[TheStoat]

Got mine on no problems Would thoroughly recommend soapy water as it allows you to move the whole sticker around and see what height looks best. Can't be arsed to post photos as it's late but I'll try tomorrow One thought for next year - what about a reverse version of the sticker so that on both doors the VX is pointing towards the front of the car? Only just noticed that one VX points forwards and the other points backwards Top stickers James!

[Mackem]

James - stickers arrived today - thanks very much for sorting them out.

[TheStoat]

Assuming all this photo linking works and I haven't made a b0ll0cks of it you should be able to see what the stickers look like on Petrol Blue...



And one of the Pistonheads stickers too...

Edit: Wouldn't you know it? I can link to pictures, I just can't spell stickers!

Actually I do like the bright orange one they have - no stripes but a cool colour!
