I drove down on the Tuesday and it's a lot less stickered than Wed, but saw loads on the way home today including 2 that had used purple plasteel or whatever that rubber paint is - they looked vile and I loved them 😎

Well it got a lot of love that's for sure! And was faultless, if a little gutless!

Right, never had a car so dirty. First job is a big clean.

Best way to remove? Hairdryer?

I've found very warm water poured over the area in question is good option - it's what works best for you, though be prepared that some graphics may tear. Just like applying them, be patient & if you can leave the car on the sun beforehand, that'll help too.

Gone simple due to lack of time to get much sorted....



Just seen you come past us on the M20... fk me that copper was going at a fair rate of knots!
Spotted this too. Was it a bike cop? Saw one pull a silver 911 over. Went steady after that and missed my original crossing.
Anybody else spot the Ferrari F12 TRS on the M25?

Last year's was much easier to remove and now spends the rest of its life on my campingfridge. This year's on the other hand, I had to wet with Glassex/ glass cleaner and scraped off with my nails. It came of in 1000 wet soggy pieces. Next year's camping permit will be put on my windscreen banner and will come off easy and will spend the rest of its life on my camping fridge (hopefully) or will come off impossibly and therefor will come off with the banner (less hoped for).

Spotted and had a brief chat with the guy in a F12 TDF on the Mulsanne straight on Friday. Car of the weekend for me and a very pleasant fella.

Returning for the first time since dropping a valve on the M20 on the way back from LM2014 - this time we're Spitfireing it up! Invasion stripes to be applied on the morning of the trip for maximum authenticity



The 1er has ended up with a JPS scheme



The second VX is as yet unliveried but the drivers usually pull something amusing out of the bag.

Almost ready to rock, we're on a 9amish Chunnel train on Thursday morning!
Spotted yours it looked great

You were parked next to me at the hotel in Folkestone.

We're now almost 3 weeks after the event - what's the etiquette in terms of when to remove the stickers?
