Not road legal, just something else for the "plod" to throw at you.

If they are aware of the law relating to the display of competition numbers.

Sorry to be a kill-joy !

But then again it does make it look more track/rally orientated
Agree completely.

i never had an issue with plod over mine.

even when they pulled me over for my "Miniscule" front plate, (which i subsequently changed!)

luck of the draw i guess.

That is the wrong size door panel for that sticker set anyway. you need the smaller one or none at all.

Look at my plus profile if you want to see one.

Definately with mate

Not had any isues with mine to date, and mines a bit more obvious on the white one, lol, but Ive included a pic of my silver one for an example of a smaller number sticker aswell, but i think the bigger one would suit your car better

Made them all ourselves as we couldn't find anyone in Germany that made stickers, we bought the plotter cutter machine for 2k, collected the graphics from here and there, also made our own vector graphics out of things people wanted and set about doing it. We have sold a few full kits but mainly sun visors and single stickers. Not a very profitable hobby but fun and I get to change my stickers as and when I please. Plus if we screw up fitting one we just cut another one

The roof took 3 of us 5 hours to fit.

personally i think looks good with

re : the legal issue - there was a thread on pistonheads about this a few months ago .... basically said : it's not illegal in terms of dibble but, insurance companies consider it to be a modification so it should be declared (random but perhaps someone like tony from greenlight can confirm this?) and that also if you compete in MSA recognised competitions, part of their regulations state that unique car identifiers such as numbers should be removed / covered between events. If this isn't done it can result in you be disqualified from the competition you're in but apparently simply putting a cross over the number using black tape is generally considered good enough as a means of covering it
