Number Plate Holders With Dealers Name

[BlueXR6Turbo]

This may seem like a strange question, but I'm curious to see what people think.

Didnt have one on mine but if it was on there like there sticker's it'd be the first thing removed, if they wanna advertise on my car let them pay a monthly fee. :middlefingerred:

I hate them and specifically told the dealer that I didnt want there stickers or anything on my car. When I showed up the day before pick up to check out the car there was a sticker on the back window, it was removed before I left. I agree if they want to advertise they can pay me.

Well I tend to agree above.. The number plate holder i dont mind.. not much a big deal, but the rear sticker on the windscreen i think is a bit too much. They look too big and too colourful, they need to be designed in a way that they can be seen, but dont take the look away from the car, and turn it onto some sort of marketing medium.

Yeah, I'm kinda the same. I told the dealer I didn't want any stickers on the car, but I'm OK with a licence plate holders. However, the custom ACT plates don't fit into the standard holders, so they couldn't put those on either. Not that I'm complaining.

However, when I picked up the car, there was a dealer sticker on the rear window which I got them to remove before I took delivery.

I only ever previously allowed the dealers sticker on the rear if it was like CJF077 said. I never allowed, number plated holders or any other sticker (except rego for the cheekie ones)

I now allow two sticker on my car. The dealers with the same rule and FORDXR6TURBO sticker. The later I want to be big, beautiful and noticable.

I will gladly tell my friends and anyone else that will listen, if I have been looked after. However, I refuse to drive a billboard around so no stickers or plate surrounds for me.

A couple of dealers here in VIC have little adhesive badges they stick on the rear and/or side of the car...that really looks bad (IMO)

Hate them. Obliterate them.

With Extreme Prejudice.

Dealer was told NO STICKERS, so there was only three on the car when I picked it up. They were peeled, screwed up and handed to the dealer... He looked a little dismayed, then a little guilty when he remembered that I'd asked for none...

I've left the rego plate holder on until I get my custom plates (still waiting...), after that it's outta here.

I also agree - if I've been treated well, I'll send more business their way, which I have already done (one of my friends bought a N/A XR6 from there because I told him the guy was pretty good...

Its not just dealers who put stickers on your car.

When I got my windows tinted, the place put 3 stickers on my car. I waited till I was home before removing them.

Another time when I took the sneezer to get some audio gear installed, they put 2 stickers on the rear window. I peeled them off in the workshop and asked were the bin was. They looked at me strange. I said "if you want to do the install for free - you are welcome to put the stickers on the car"

sh*t Hot XR8Chic. Id say the same thing. I hate the way these companies take it apon themselves to put stickers on your car. sh*t, even Ultratune do it! (not that ive ever been to ultratune, but ive seen them).

I removed the ford dealer's sticker 3 times! Once after I got it (the original one), then once at a service, which I then stated everytime after - no stickers. Then I picked it up after the next service. A Sticker! the service manager got an ass kicking for that! :cussing:

As you can tell, I hate them :D As for the numberplate surrounds, they arent as bad, but I think they make a car look untidy, especially when they are a few years old and half of the white text has worn away. Makes it look like you dont take car of it...
