Ultimately its your motor now... and I hate to say it, but if you don't take them off, everyone will say, "there's Teds old car", not "there's Matts car"..

Cheers
Matt.

I always mis-read it as "Batty SAC"...

The others came off easily enough. A hair dryer to warm them up, peel them off and then use a bit of white spirit or petrol to remove any residue.

And then a bit of Pritt-Stick to reapply them to the Alpina.

You could be left with a permanent shadow line due to fading which would only become apparent in certain lights.

I presume you negotiated a sensible advertising rate per mile with Ted at time of sale?

What excellent news that the Ted-mobile has gone to a good home, and turned into a Batty-mobile!!

Course, it's a double edged sword to have a recognisable car - I'd resist the temptation to use it in too many bank jobs or ram raiding runs.

Otherwise, I think that overall effect is very favourable - not that it's any of my business, but my vote would be to keep them!

hmmmm,
well i think the car is recognised as a
PH which is great (no sponsership money has changed hands, although i did get two beanies!! ) and i would like the care to retain its history. that said she does look alittle 'Max Power' with the stickers, and i was beginning to think of paint fade.
would like to add a personal touch to the car...
