Looks good!

I was trying to do something that could be cut out of vinyl to save on costs... hence why I gave up on the multi-colour ones!

Personally I think the original
www.e30zone.co.uk ones looks the mutt's nuts in the first place and I want one!
See other E30's driving around, sometimes you get a wave or a thumbs up (as I did on the Kirkstone Pass in the lake district last weekend from a 325cabby owber) But just need a clear way of identifying other zoners when out on the road.
If anyone has any of the old style ones going begging then i'll part with some folding!

Added number 7 to my list!!
There's lots here that I reckon'd look great as a flyer, but I'm not sure I'd wanna stick em on my car

Just think they're too complex & I don't really want a picture of anyone elses car on mine anyway! That's only my opinion though, which counts for notalot in the grand scheme of things
Jimbo, Chris did some stickers like that to put on your badge... he had them at Donnington but he may have some left...

Ok, so I won't leave it at 7 then! Here's 8 & 9... could do em with the outline of a saloon or touring too...
Any chance of stopping this & making a decision sometime soon?!

I agree entirely. IIRC on an earlier thread someone asked for pictures of these, but they didn't appear. Some of these entries are a bit OTT. New one should be STYLISH and DISCREET, like zone members?????????
If anyone DOES have spare old style I'll have a couple.

Yes, 2nd that... different sizes, some people would put big stickers accross the tops of front/rear windows etc, whereas others would prefre small descreet in rear quarters or boot etc...
Def different sizes, perhaps even different colours....

As mentioned, people need to remember this will simply be a sticker, so big graphics generally will look tacky?
Theres a couple of my efforts, simple, but very effective when it comes to getting the message across! people will see a URL, and think.. hmm, wonder what that is, and come on to check it out.

The first thing i do when i buy a car is take all the dealer stickers off because i don't see why i should advertise someone else's shop for free.
But this on the back and front of the car i think i could stand.
If new plates are a bit extreme then what about simple white and yellow stickers ?
Should only be few pennies and discreet enough to avoid embarressment.
If your not the shy retiring type then you can go as large as you like with some of the others and plaster them all over your windows
