Don’t stick

I know you all know better But I didn’t think about it. magnetic track numbers don’t stick.
Don’t want perm stickers yet, only track once a month.
Fwiw only metal is roof and rear quarters. Rest is alumn and plastic

oh well. Garage queen M3 is now number 90. Lol

Painter's tape.

But seriously. It gets the job done unless you're going for the weekend racecar looks.

Alternatively, cut out numbers using a template and shelf paper. Sticks great, tears off easily.

Remove trim from doors. Glue small metal sheets. Problem solved :nixon:

Yeah the rear corner panel is your only magnetic solution. I originally used re-usable vinyl in the beginning but they quickly didn't last long with all the on/off.

My second option was to re-use my old magnetic numbers but they were really big on the curves of the rear quarter and didn't lay flush. Once the sun warmed them up you were good to go but I always felt like I would eventually lose one.

This is my current option, I dropped down in size but I put a bright metallic apple on them to make them stand out. When they were black they just blended in with all the black trim.

*** TIP *** Pick up a hard plastic binder from the office supply section for $5 (blue case in pic). It's a great way to keep you numbers crease free and organized. I have several stacked in there and they always look mint.
