Fitted the sunstrip today. The rest will hopefully arrive in time to fit a few days before leaving Scotland

This is going again this year. Was going to take the Cobra but need 3 seats so the Jaaag is coming again.

Don't look to closely at the date stickers as they say 2016 (yes, I have driven it around all year like this!)

We saw you and briefly spoke in the eurotunnel queue farce last year - lets hope that delay doesn't happen again!

I am also going for the third time. Myself and pal also work in the funeral industry and are also going in a Porsche. What town do you work in?
Used to work in East London but am down in Southend now.



Tempted to get a few window stickers and am so tempted to get the driver and country decals for the windows.


How long do people tend to keep their stickers on for after the event?

On for a month before and off the weekend after the race.

Yeah mine are on already and a few more to be added after my holiday next week. They'll be taken off the week I return from Le Mans.

I intend to put them all on white magnetic sheets. The one you mention is 50x50 cm and will be put on the frunk.

All the sponsors decals will be put on a single sheet ang go on the front wings either side.
The rondels will be put on the doors along with the "911".
On the rear I will have the running michelin man (let's see whether I can cut the contours) along with the bumper sticker.

Unless you've had a fresh respray that's really not necessary. In fact magnetic strip/sheet is more likely to cause damage if dirt gets trapped between it and the paint.

The stickers will come off fine with a little heat to soften them. Parking the car in the sun worked well for me when it came time to de-sticker post Le Mans.

I've read the stories about magnetic sheets beforehand.

My main reason for doing so, is to be able to put them on again, or on an other car.
I will sticker up only just before I leave for LM and take them off once I'm back.
I like that I will be able to do so in minutes and to be able to put them back on the next year.

I know magnetic sheets from cars at work, and I found them not be be problematic if you take them off once in a while (1 a week would be best, every 2 weeks is still ok). What works best is to wash the car and then put them on.
That said, on one car they have not been taken away for ages and the magnetic sheet had welded itself to the body eek
But to do so it takes more than a weekend at Le Mans!
