LOL, I know, sorry mate. You probably think I'm taking the piss but seriously, I keep abusing my sticker!!

BY THE WAY...I'm so sorry about this...Thank you for your Christmas card, and sorry for not saying this earlier! I forgot all about it.

Hope everything went well for you etc :)

I think if we need another batch we will do it that way, I just dont like the heated rear window elements running across the sticker , Mind you its only Tom who has had a problem so far

that'd be fine - the elements dont get *that* hot cos otherwise they wouldnt be allowed to be in reach of kiddies..

i dont actually use my rear screen at all - one of the advantages of living by the coast is theres rarely any frost - twice last year!

I didnt mean from a heat point of view , I just meant I didnt want a copper strip going across the middle of a white sticker , probably dosent look as bad on the fox sticker as it is bigger and therefore the strips would get lost in it

yeah but because of the rear screens angle , its better to have it slightly further down (easier to read )

ok , internally fitted stickers for rear screens are possible ,they will be the same price £1.50 each incl p+p (uk ) but I will need to know numbers before I order as I only get them this cheap by buying ten at a time. The front screen sticker which is the same design but bigger (the L and 300 are about three inches tall and obviously the rest is in proportion ) come out at £4.00 each inluding postage (again UK only )Obviously these will be external fit only because of top tint in windscreen , anyone interested , please let me know.I will have to sort out something with Aymat for our european friends (possibly swap five stickers for a snowcao LOL )

By the way, for anyone who loses any letters from their sticker, I have a 'spares' sticker now that I used to repair mine. Several of the letters are still intact so if you're missing one, save Mick the hassle and e-mail me. I have the full URL, the .com bit and vol o300mania also.

not a happy bunny today sm65 sm65 tried fitting my bonnet stripes and made a total mess of it sm49. but i will order another set and have another go, I dont know whether its still a bit to cold but they just would not go right .also, because of its shape and the minor damage from my crash , I think I will spray the leading edge and first inch back in black and then start the stripes that should give me a straight edge to start with and no curves to contend with.
