Screenprintdigital.com for Tag stickers

That's the one, I have mailed them to see if they are producing 2023 stickers
Did you hear anything in the end? I didn't get anything back from them

Yes mate, I called them and ordered two of the smaller stickers which I received in a couple of days. I haven't looked at their website since but at the time it was still showing the 2022 stickers and also didn't show the size of sticker that I finally ordered, so best to give them a call if you don't see what you want on the website. In the end I had to order something at the same price online and they knew to swap it out when they received my order (if that makes sense) so I don't think they are inundated with orders.

Question for thiose that have used Stickered Up for le mans stickers before

How long have you left them on the car?
Did they come off ok without damaging the paint? (i know you need to heat them to remove them)
Do you add any paint coating products eg details or wax to the paint before application?

Thanks

2017 car - good wash and do polish and wax before hand. Takes a while for stickers and need at least 12 hours or a day before driving. Apply asap after cleaning as don’t want to push dust etc around under stickers with small blue plastic applicator thing

Last 3 small medium ones came off last week - hand size and a 30 cm bumper type - use watering can of hot water to warm up and came off no problem - could still see polish and wax areas afterwards when washed.

Large stickers usually on for 2 months or so as have done Classic as well in previous years - again no problem with stickeredup4 ones.

Small PH stickers were a pain though as left glue on car after a short while.

Did have slight trouble with sunstrip as left on for after 10 months but didn’t heat up before hand - glass easier to clean though.

So no trouble with stickeredup4 ones at least 3 or 4 times.

Thanks thats useful

My stickers will be on for about 2-3 weeks. car is ceramic coated, but is 22 years old. I have the gold bonnet stripes and stickers for the doors/wings, they are all the bubble free grey backed type. I decided to avoid puttung them on the bonnet/engine cover as that gets very hot and could bake them on.

Has anyone done a Police Car theme before? Travelling in a white Skoda Superb estate, so I can't get the idea out of my head!



It would obviously be toned down / strategically done to not upset the Police over here, but not sure how the French would take to it...

Thought France used to be lot more relaxed as was chased around northern France by a white car with full Essex police decals on car mag treasure hunt. Was a bit unnerving when checking mirrors for A road overtakes.

UK bit was trickier for them but very early ferry rondevue meant that Essex and Kent outward drive at night.

That said there’s a few ex police cars that drive to UK cars shows.

Here’s a couple I’ve done (with varying amounts of effort/“cussing” (the Alfa was a challenge but definitely worth it in the end & we also had a dashboard mounted strobe light biggrin )......

Lovely GTV 3.0 V6, I owned one of those, as Jeremy Clarkson said when reviewing it back in the day, it’s a mini Ferrari
