I'm looking for some quality Martini stripes but that will come off easily when I want them to.

Any advice most welcome.

TIA.

^ I suggest it isnt just about the type of stickers used, but also the time/prep. you put into the paintwork before you apply them. Make sure that the paint work has all the stone chips dealt with first.

When you come to remove them, I recommend pouring hot water over the stickers first to loosen the adhesive and then if you need to, use a hair dryer to assist with easing the adhesive on the back and pull them off very gently. Hopefully, all you will need to do once you have removed the stickers (and not the paint) is to just apply some tar/glue remover to the paintwork and repolish the panel in question.

What colour is the car?
I took some strips of a car the other day and the sun had changed the paint colour.
This was on a grey focus st.

Silver, and 18 years old. The paint won't fade, and the stripes won't be on for very long.

Good point though - thanks.

Any more recommendations for the actual products please?

When it comes to removing them, gently warm with a hardryer, no need for the hot water. Don't get the paint too hot so no using a heat gun. When the temp is right they'll come off glue and all if they're not on there for long.

ETA I do know a guy that can make these for you and he has the full template for 911 Martini Graphics. Message me if you would like his details. He live in Dartford but business is in Woodford. Sure he could arrange postage too. I've used him for plenty of graphics and they've always been top notch.
