You could try Matthew at MKS Classics - he used to do that sort of thing for a living and now does Land Rover and classic car servicing and repairs: http://www.mksclassic.co.uk
He does a lot of the spanner work on Brendan's fleet. http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/ |

Try Nick at Screenprint Digital in Knaresborough, they supply and fit all kinds of vehicle graphics including classic racing stuff and Nick is a 100percent total petrolhead and has been attending the LeMans 24 hours event for about 25 years or more.

Matthew at MKS is one of the few people I trust to take spanners to our 'fleet'
We have several main dealers and independents much closer to us, one within 2 miles but we prefer to travel to Matthew. oK less convenient, more miles but worth it to go somewhere we trust.

It's not as hard as you think, the secret is lots of soapy water !

I love Le Mans
I sticker-ed up my TVR is was ace!!!!!!! We put 2 blue stripes down our TVRs  (note our Flag )
When I got home it wasn't such a good idea 
Had to get the car resprayed. I doubt Defenders have much better paint quality than a TVR judging by the lump of paint that came off my 110 when jet washing it so if you do sticker up, be careful!! |

You can buy some sort of soapy crap to remove them properly I believe. I feel quite safe considering the number of people in bangers and exotics alike who snickered up last year! Looks good, that TVR, though.
Cheers for the suggestions chaps. Chris, I might have an opportunity to pop down first week in June, I'll keep you posted. Geoff 2007 Defender 90 Click image to enlarge |

Soapy water to put them on (allows you to move them around to get them in the right place and expell air bubbles), warmth to get them off, hot day or hairdryer and then turps to remove the glue residue |

Real good wax first as well, I stickered my defender up for Help for Heroes Rally, they all came off no problem with a gently hairdryer, then a quick t cut to remove any residue left.
