Anybody recognize this decal?

I'm just guessing here but I think they are made to be easily removed (and reapplied). I'm basing this on the many photos of really nice classic cars with huge numbers of these Ace stickers on them, several different styles from different years. I find it hard to believe that they would leave them on all year between rallys, and I also find it hard to believe that the rally organizers would be stupid enough to eliminate a large number of potential participants that would understandably refuse to allow any type of sticker or decal to be put on their machines that might damage the finish when removed.

Again, I'm just guessing here. Could be wrong, it's certainly happened once or twice before

Just a knee jerk reaction and a bit of sensitivity to the subject right now. I have seen this type of sticker and some of them do leave a nasty mark on the paint. I was based in germany for several years and the ruling was that foreign nationals HAD to have a sticker advertising their nationality if they were there for more than a few weeks like we were. My ford taunus mark three was left with paint hanging off afetr I removed the previous owners scotish version for an english sticker. Pity the scotish sticker was not a bit smaller really. My car has just had the interior trim replaced post vandalism and the trimmer made a few dings in the paintwork already. Lucky I have a really good paint guy.........

Where would you put all of those small yet incredibly valuable stickers in between events? While still keeping them in good condition? a large piece of Mylar?

It would appear the only storage criteria for them is, Nowhere near a camera.

I bet you'll have no trouble getting close up photos of them.

We really have gone off on a tangent here, down a dark ally one might say....or up the ~~back passage~~ garden path even.
But it's a nice break from all the upgrade whining and I'm sure Helln' doesn't mind too much.

You do know I will never be able to look at a plugin again without thinking of this. All those threads with titles like, Help with installing plug in..........
