SCOTTJ Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi All, I've recently had some work to have decals very much like the Exige GT3 Red Bull of Adrian Newey he raced in BritCar 2009-2012. I've had car for 15 years now and i was getting bored of blue. Two questions... 1. The age old question is it illegal to have number on side of car on public roads. Can police fine you? 2. Has anyone else registered with there insurance if they have had decals... Only subtle decals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayj_prod Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Will Red Bull be sponsoring you? Isn't 'decals suggesting performance alterations' (or words to that effect) one of those tick box criteria on insurance websites? Can't see numbers being illegal.

SCOTTJ Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 How very spooky never seen anyone do the decals and then one turns up at local garage... Bit like when I went with Evo X FQ400 to Mitsi garage... Though it was my car they were revving and there was another blue Evo X FQ400 having water pump replaced!!! Seeing as there are only 11 blue ones it was quite a coincident !!! Litterally just joined Lotus Drivers Club... I will have a look on forum!

SCOTTJ Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Strange never seen it around I'm always round Daventry, Rugby, Northampton! Turns out you got it done at a company on Stephenson Close??? I used to work for a company on that road. I got car in 2001 brand new, No. 31 of production line one of the press release cars because they messed my about with M250 project. It's had a few different guises in it's time! I was taking niece to drop her off at prom at Hellidon Lakes again very Spooky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_h Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 When you have race numbers for a proper race event it's a requirement of the MSA blue book (rule book) that you put a cross through the numbers when driving on public roads when not part of the event. I know a few people have had letter from the MSA event scruteneer after leaving a sprint / hill climb without crossing out their number. However as you don't have a race licence and aren't competing under the MSA then I don' think anyone could say anything. Now I do think you need to tell your insurance though!!

SCOTTJ Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks for the info on the race numbers makes sense. I will give insurance a call let them know they are only subtle decals lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
