This. They are the only UK company officially licensed to the ACO and therefore actually allowed to use the logo.

Here's the company that TL use.

The guy who sorts our stickers is a very capable graphic designer and can produce pretty much anything you want. So if you want something different and bespoke, I would highly recommend him.

Maybe a silly question, but is there any risk of the stickers damaging paintwork? I have a 2003 Porsche 911, which I suspect has had a respray at some point, and I think Porsches have relatively "soft" paint (according to detailing websites). I quite like the idea of going stickered up to Le Mans but wouldn't like to find some of the clear coat or paint lifts off when I remove the stickers!
Any advice or experience gratefully received.

I'm not a professional, although I've applied quite large stickers to a friends 996 (2002 vintage) several times for the pilgrimage & to an older Alfa GTV which definitely didn't have original paint in places - my method is to properly clean the car, touch any stone chips up well in advance & then give the car a decent polish before applying the stickers. When you remove them after the event,, pour quite warm water over them & gently pull them off, or use a hair dryer to heat them up beforehand & then remove any adhesive residue with a tar remover type product. You'll find applying them (there's plenty of instructions online about this) & removing them requires some patience though it's worth the effort. I've read one or two instances where people have had a problem although it's probably in the minority. Good luck thumbup

I am having a similar dilemma as my car has had both sides resprayed by an "insurance approved" body shop. So I'm wondering whether to sticker up to the usual levels.
I have found that the genuine ones from https://www.stickeredup4lemans.com come off a lot easier. Some cheaper ones take quite a lot of effort and leave residue.
They're only on for a few days so I'm sure it will be fine.

I have been stickering up my cars now for years, clean the car apply a coat of wax polish, fit the sticker a few days before using the soapy water method a day to dry and remove on the train/ferry back, don't rush it just gently ease off.
No problems at all.
