Does such a thing exist?

Can't help thinking an S8 owners club sticker or equivalent would go down well on the windows?

Personally, I would think "Tacky" but each to their own.

We've never had any stickers produced, we are more a "gathering of owners from this forum" that socialise rather than an owners club. Owners clubs require committee members and accounts to be audited etc and often charge a membership fee - we manage to avoid all of that with the forum being sponsored by A8 Parts and the events being subsidised by same but individually contributed to by members attending

This is a thought that has been discussed before and it doesnt have to be tacky. The german crowd (a8freunde) produce a discrete web forum decal which some of us have - in my case on the rear quarterlight.

Some of the american forums do a nice subtle decal for the rear quarterlight window rather than a boot lid decal.
If an enthusiast is looking at your car they will notice it.

The Quarterlight sticker is discreet but many clubs end up with rear window stickers, tax disc holders, number plate surrounds etc.

Whilst I appreciate what everyone is saying, my whole point is -
A) what goes on our stickers if we produce any? Like I said we are not a formal club, just a group of members that are on a forum and organise meets
B) who pays for said stickers? Design, colour? How many versions do we have? Then who forks out for them all and then tries to recover their costs a few pence at a time as people have the odd sticker or two?

Most of us are more than happy to advertise the forum presence and to ensure that like minded enthusiasts know where to find similar souls.

Neil has a point over how these things are payed for and the cost recovered. Someone has to do the hard graft and it can be difficult to get the costs back.

If I were a gambling man I think that that a simple graphic of "www.A8parts.co.uk" in a simple script would be OK.
Having just looked at a site they seem to be about £1.50ish per decal.
