    Blood Group stickers

    Does anyone know where you can get the type of stickers , (as used in motorsport competition) , showing Driver/Riders ....name and blood group and placed on either side of the helmet.

    Not the sort of thing you could rattle off on the PC printer , needs to be waterproof and abraision resistant
    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    I found a guy on Ebay who was making larger (car window sized) Rally stickers with the Flag and drivers name on last year, and had him make us some custom sized ones when we went to the Stella, though I never went as far as putting the blood group on there. Came out really well, and mine are still on my lid though looking a little tatty now. He also offered a choice of colours to maximise standout on different backgrounds. The stickers are laser cut individual letters supplied on an application tape like the xrv.org.uk ones.

    Can't remember what he charged now, but he gave me a good deal as I ordered a few different sets and a couple of different sizes at once. The only thing I'd maybe request 2nd time round is that he applied a "clear layer" over the top of the flags – as they were made from individual little shapes to make up the whole flag, these were the first bits to rub off. Saying that though they lasted pretty well.

    Drop the fella a line and let him know what you want, I found him to be very helpful.

    For your Ref, we found that a character height of 13mm was perfect for the lids, and I requested one side to be "reversed" so that it read left to right, surname/flag on both sides...if that makes sense. He was very helpful, and very quick and sent PDF proofs before he went ahead with the print run.

    I don't want to offer your services out Jack, but if you are speaking to him then mention that there may well be another 40 people who might very well be interested in a set...I know I'd take another set.

    Let me know how you get on

    Ebay holds the key to almost everything!

    You can have these which spell it out across the visor, or these which you can stick where you like...as it were.

    I'd like both name/blood and 'remove stickers if we can put a bulk order together.
