Removable numbers for Car

Hey,
Sorry, another newby question. I am running next Sunday at the SuperSprint and have just been given number 927. The two other super sprints I have done have been mx5 club days where they supply me with a magnetic number I slap on the side.

Any suggestions on what I can do for Sunday? Given the car is a daily driver I do not want a permanent sticker on the side.

Cheers,
Craig

Depending on the rules of the day (re: sizing/colour)

Often people just use electrical tape to make numbers.

Failing that, print the number on some paper and just tape ti to the car (leaving no paper edge showing, otherwise the air catches it and just rips it off)

If you want a more permanent option for the future you can get Vistaprint to do A3 sized magnetic sheets. I think they work out to be around $40 + postage (minus whatever coupon code you can find at the time).

Or I have a roll of plain white magnetic sheet to which you could add whatever stick-on numbers you need. PM me for a price if that might work for you. Note that all magnetic sheets seem to have a maximum speed of around 150 after which they like to part with the door unless they are also taped on at least the front edge.

Streetfx an ebay vendor does the magnetic sheets and numbers. Pretty quick too easily get them by next weekend.

But x 2 for taping the magnetic numbers on, just the leading edge and top is fine. Seen a few part company with the car. Make sure the doors are clean before you put the numbers on so there is no scratching.
