The event stickers are done and with me. Look great. I'll be sending them out next week, although I will have them with me at the x rally, so if you're there I can hand them over of course :)

Keep it Tim. You know you want to!! My pre-challenge service will be around the £400 mark inc the dreaded. Mind you I won't be selling the valver. Ever.

Well, anyone fully "stickered" up yet?? I'm on a six night stretch of, erm nights, so plan to do mine next week. Is there going to be a bonus prize to the most "stickered up" car in the Classic Challenge?

Did you get the email with application details? Those with RED cars will have a few days wait, as the Chevron panels were wrong (affects me, Tim, Hilary and Mike E). Can you confirm your red chevrons panel is OK (ie it's red with the chevrons cut out of it)?

As for most stickered up: why not? We'll have to think of a suitable prize - like a sticker lol!

Oh come on Tim
You can't just slap on challenge stickers there has to be some sort of uniformity
Otherwise we won't all look the part.

Nah, it's OK. Looks like you'll need all the green paint for your GS :lol: :wink:

This 'uniformity' think only really applies to those extrovert BXers who want to carry the 'special' edition rallyesque stickers...

I have put the bonnet chevrons on, and they look very smart indeed.

It was a pain to put on straight though.

I recommend that folk add this sticker last, so they can practice on the smaller ones first.

Phil, where are the smaller Citroen stickers meant to go?

Well, as there are different BX bumper shapes and some might want to slap other stickers on I thought I wouldn't be too specific (actually not at all in this case!). I thought they'd go well on the front bumper (one each side sort of under the headlights beneath the level of the trim strip) and a third on the tailgate to the left of the boot button (ie on the side opposite to the Citroen badge).
