I'm out at my car at the moment with my laptop in my boot trying to put my remaining FordFiestaST.co.uk sticker just below the LED brake light. I have managed to get the sticker and the letters onto the window but when I pull the sticky-back paper away the letters come with it. Am I doing something wrong? Any qucik responses would be appreciated. Cheers guys.

There is a guide of how to do this.

Get a cloth and go over the sticker back many times pressing down and peal away slowly and bobs your uncle... it they come off then press down again on that letter and try again.

I hope you have sorted it out.

Yep I have sorted it out now. It is very difficult to see it. I've put it at the top of the rear window about 2 inches below the brake light. I want to add two to the side windows now so that it looks even. Are they still available to order?

I think ben has just the standard 3rd brake light, not the clear one you are refering to

Yeah it's just the standard red brake light. They are LED those top ones aren't they?

I assume so, would make more sense than using a load of small bulbs

Right well I have just fitted my second sticker to the rear right side window of the car. I now have one on the rear window, one on that window and I have just ordered another 2 through Chris. Hopefully they will arrive before the weekend so that I don't have an uneven looking car for too long!

I certainly will do. It's raining at the mo outside so I'll get some when it stops. The one I've got on the side window looks fantastic. But the one on the boot you wouldn't know was there unless I showed it to you - the window is too dark and the light reflects off it badly. But I know it's there and that's what counts! There are another couple of STs on my small camp so hopefully they will see them and log onto the site.

Tip for anyone putting a sticker on the back window. Add 20% from horizontal so when you place in on the window it is straight and doesn't curve down with the window.

Indeed, that is what I've done, you can see them close-up here:



I know that quite a few people have said that I've got them wonky, but I think that when you see them against the road like here then you can see that they line up well:



Just my personal preference anyways, they look good no matter which way you choose to put them.
