Nick Jackson (2) Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 Quote:Why is it helpful to have the stickers months before the event?I just think it would easier to find sponsorship if I had some promotional material on the car. A bit like shops using adverts to find customers and drum up interest in products. It's only an opinion but not worth piling on the workload to the organising team if you don't think there's merit in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reg Barton Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Oops! Hope I haven't messed this up.... but I put the stickers on both cars today (entries #55 and #132), and very smart they look too! However, I couldn't find at the time the note of where to stick them - so I checked on this forum and found response #15 from Tim - which says to put the Climate Care stickers on the REAR wings - which is what I've done. I've now found the note that came with the driver's pack, which says to put them on the FRONT wings - oops! Bit late now - mine are firmly on the rear wings - hope this isn't a problem,,,,?? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogi Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Mine are on the rear wings too, simply because they looked better there. There wasn't really room on the front wing. Between door and wheelarch looked to close to the RBRR one on the front door and over the wheelarch just looked plain wrong. Far better on the rear wing. Hope Tim's not too upset!
