Got a yellow one for the rear bumper and a yellow 2inch for the windscreen somewhere

They will be on a silver celica

Would be awesome to be spotted (I lead quite a boring life)

I've de-stickered my ST220 because I thought it looked a bit naff. Now I've changed my mind, but don't want to pay the silly postage again for another stiker!

The eBay fakes thread on here highlights a seller who appears to be doing a straight rip-off off the design (rather than the one with a cut out of one of the pistons) - £1.99 delivered for 2 in a range of colours.

I suspect they will be told to take them down now it's been highlighted.

Disclaimer: Obviously I'm totally against fakes like this and believe all members who wish to advertise their association with PH should pay a premium to do so.

Going from some of your spots etc I think we go in the same areas quite a bit

Keep an eye out for me!

I'll be mostly between Cookridge and Harrogate or Cookridge and Shelf

Funny how things turn full circle. Not that many years ago Ted used to give away stickers to advertise the brand. Now the cost of them is so silly that a third party can undercut them by a huge margin and still turn a profit. Then sticking them on the car still advertises the brand. Not supporting those who are stealing the IP, but it's a strange old world where good money is paid to voluntarily advertise another business.

[DannyScene]

The cost is a bit steep now imo but its the shipping thats daft, £3 for an evelope to put 2 stickers in and a stamp (probably 2nd class but I didnt check)

I need to order a sticker for my rust bucket, stick up a link to the one your after and I'll add it in with my order. Just give the cash for the sticker to any charity of your choice.

Yellow new-shape Cayman and a Red F-Type S V8 driving behind the Cayman on Tadcaster Road at 4:30pm today.

White 997 GT3 on the M62 at Cas Vegas tonight.
Also and ironically, a recovery truck with a flat tyre on the M62 hard shoulder!

Grey F430 coupe heading down Kirkstall Rd yesterday evening. Grey E63 AMG on Kirkstall Rd in the traffic this evening, discreet looking weapon.

Silver MX5 in Garforth yesterday morning. Pistonheads sticker on the back.

Very obviously came through the lights on red.

[v15ben]

White 1-Series with a PH sticker on the back, M62/M1 junction this morning.

[Dave G fsi]

Saw my first new shape mini this morning, didn't know they were for sale yet....

Cooper S too:

[lewisf182]

Really don't like the new shape mini, just seems that step too big? looks wise anyways. Maybe it'll be a grower!

Spotted my first PH sticker in Sheffield today, Dark grey/ Blue Subaru Legacy with Red PH sticker close to Bramall lane parked up at a house on the corner.

[Mattlan]

Caterham / Lotus 7 style & Z4 coupe in MacDonalds at Bilborough Top A64 car park on Saturday , next to a gleaming MX5. Sounded lovely when it passed me heading into Leeds
