Battenburg, Decals Etc

Preset No.3

Before anyone quotes the legality of any of this, let me assure you that none of this will be used in Ireland at any stage. It will be covered over until we are outside the borders of Ireland.

I am looking to get the battenburg, decals, and anything that I can use to make a Garda patrol car.

I am doing a charity banger rally in July across Europe (with a crowd of Brits) so I want our car to stand out as being the Irish lads!!!! I cant say what the car is just yet, but its something that was never used as a patrol car.

So apart from GARDA somewhere on the car with the decals, what else could I put on it?

Anyone got any funny ideas on what we could put on it?

I saw a 05 D squad car in Galway recently - looks like a ready made banger to me.

I had seen another van in Australia like that and the photoshopped Toyota Starlet. That's what gave me the idea.

Well I think our banger is going to be silver.

A bakers shop :pac:

I think SPservices sell these but i don't know how much your willing to spend.

would the lads in motors know the answer?

5500

What part of the country are you in? Any vehicle graphics/signage/wrapper should be able to do you battenburg vinyl stickers easily enough

There's a crowd on done deal. The pro 3M stuff is about €900 to do a car. That's way out of budget on a car that cost €500!!!

Might have to go down the patrol car route, with the yellow strip down the side.

just be very careful with any LED lights/beacons, I know they can be had cheap, and the temptation may be there but they are.....frowned upon in most countries
