I've had a range of stickers/graphics prepared in readiness for my annual trip to Le Mans 24hr. I just need a careful and well trusted specialist to apply them. Can anyone recommend a good company in Yorkshire, preferably within 20 miles of Leeds? Many thanks for any replies.

I cut and apply my own Mark. Easy peasy to be honest.

If I can help with your 'technique' then give me a shout.

Cheers. BB.

I might take you up on that offer Simon. It probably is "easy peasy" for someone who isn't all thumbs, as I tend to be. It's gonna be time consuming though, as there are 38 of them, of varying sizes. I am re-creating the stickers that were on the purple Synergy/Chamberlain T440R Le Mans car!

Happy to give you a hand - not able to make it this year so am going to miss out on the stickering :-(

Soapy water, applicator pad and plenty of patience is all that's needed (oh, and stickers and a car).

As above easy to do yourself - plenty of masking tape to hold in place as a dry run then just take your time - I use to fit vinyl as a job ( not on cars though!) and am in Stanley if ya need a hand just give me a shout

38 is quite a lot mark, but you may have seen my car last year and it was pretty well covered in stickers so it is do-able and its just a question of time. Anyway, let me know if you need a hand?
There is a very good company in Batley called Data Graphics. I don't know whether they would offer an appication only service, but they would do a fine job and their pricing is excellent. Call Gulam on 01924 470233.
Cheers. Simon.

Thanks Simon, I'll ask them. I did see your car last year and it looked great. Unfortunately, as we were on different camp sites, we didn't manage to meet and have a drink. Did you not fancy a return visit this year? BTW, I went to see Phil & Phil at Aeromotive a couple of weeks ago. Fantastic service and really happy to sort me out. What a truly wonderful couple of guys. Helpful, knowledgeable and a good laugh. A great recommendation, thank you.

No probs Mark and thanks for your kind words. Let me know what Gulam says, but if your struggling to find someone then let me know.

Yep the Aeromotive guys are spot on to be honest. They take a low profile and their place is a working garage rather than a showcase, but their work is excellent, their prices are good and as you say they are both nice guys; that's probably why the TVR side of their business is developing nicely.

Cheers. Simon

Woodlands Drive, not far from the JCT headquarters (the old Apperley Manor).

Not sure about a farm "shop". There is a farm here that sells potatoes and eggs! Woodlands Drive is a long private road that starts behind Woodhouse Grove School off Apperley Lane and ends up at Knott Lane near Rawdon Crematorium.

Ahh, I've googled it. Not too far from me, I'll keep an eye out for a stickered up Sag!
