Looking good Mark,

As far as I'm aware they can be removed and reapplied many times,

Could use the rear window heater lines as a coach line.

If you ever decide to have the windows tinted then you may like to log on to DMB graphics for some custom built exterior decals

Decal style: Ford 300mm

Colour: silver metallic

Application: External Custom Text: [www.FordOwnersClub.com ]

Qty: 3

Cost: £9.75

When typing www.FordOwnersClub.com in to the box for them to print it; Don't forget to make the F, O and C. In capital letters the same as I have done on mine makes it stand out better in my opinion breaks up the text for quick reading.

Thanks Lenny I was thinking bout tinting the windows alright

Thanks James I'll compare the two for prices no offence James ha if I could use my 5 pound voucher on them then yeah I'll get them on the site ha

But might be cheaper to get them from Ireland as I won't have to change euro to pound so I'll compare and see

We also now have external vinyls available in the store for £3.99 a pair :)

I do like those very much james, i tried purchasing a set around two months ago but mufflebox have a flat fee of 14.95GBP to ship them to Ireland :(

for us to get a set of these decals to our door in Ireland from mufflebox is a total: 24.09 euro

DMB are 12.39 euro including shipping.

I much prefer the design of the genuine forum window decals but for us to receive in Ireland there far too expensive mate,

DMB Graphics are in the uk aswell mate,

Best advise i can give you is to set up a PayPal account if you don't already have one,

Very easy to purchase online and it automatically converts currency to euro for you,

Heres link to dmb graphics:

http://www.dmb.uk.com/prod/720/custom-lettering-ford

Im by no means trying to do the forum shop out of business,

If James can sort something out with the shipping then im all in favour of the genuine forum window decals.

Also for window tinting check out www.Atint.ie

They done my focus to perfection 10% on front doors and 35% on rear windows

The law in Ireland is:

No tint on windscreen atall,

Up to 25% on front doors,

As dark as desired on rears,

Now when the cars are built the European rule is front doors are factory tinted up to 15%

In Ireland front door limit is 25%

So ive had 10% tint applied to my front doors leaving it a legal 25%

Now on the rear you can go as dark as you want to,

But 35% tint is dark enough looks good and people cant to see in,

If your car had factory tint it would be 30% so 35% is just that little darker and can still see out perfectly,

I had a 3 door starlet before,

Got limo tint on the windows was 95% tint,

Impossible to see out of it at night mate,

I wouldn't go darker than 35%

Ill route out the pictures i have from inside the car looking out through the tint,

And of the car with the windows done.

Atint provide a nation wide service,

There based in north Wexford.

Cree reverse bulbs also help things when reversing at night as there a straight swap led unit with a 6000kelvin output of light equivalent to a 55watt bulb :)

but 35% tint is fine at night time,

Here's cree led reverse bulb straight swap:

Here's my guide to fitting dual reverse light with fog light if interested:
