The 2 best possibilities from my point of view (suggestions are always welcome!!)
= the font used for the website
= another good 80ies font (thanks DeKay)
What about the bakground color? Black? Transparent?
And the size? Same size as the Volvolandia sticker?

I would say first one, because numbers are diffrent size than letters, makes it clearer.

I agree, the top one is cool. Black background i think otherwise it may not stand out enough.

That Volvolandia sticker is all individual letters, there is no clear part at all
I like second one better, but first one is ok too, only for me it seems to be bit messy, difficult to read, but could be my eyes too.

It's better to be SURE about the best possibility because I would make that sticker free for the members who want to have that on the rear window

Finally I can't show that picture effect with my computer (what a pity!) but I see what you mean... A gloss grey!

I like 4 and 5, but as long as it's not 6 I'm easy!! Definately clear b/g, and I'd prefer white letters, just to match the Naish board sticker that I already have on there. (Actually, thats just individual letters, came on a carrier film, looks a lot better than clear backgrounds imho).

Time for me to 'fess up! I voted 'no'.....but then I refuse to have *any* stickers on my car. In general, I think its a good idea, and I'd certainly put stickers in a 'flashier' project car.
cheers

Ok James, you aren't welcome anymore here! And it's also over for the function of moderator!
No, it's just a joke, don't worry!
I understand your point of view, you aren't against OUR sticker but all stickers generally on a car... OK!

No, don't worry, I get the message. I'm leaving...and I'm selling my car - I'm that offended. And no you can't have any of my accessories.
Here is a picture of my new car.
I'm afraid they ran out of blue paint.
cheers
