cheers in advance .

What a good idea. Is that legal though

brock200sx · 11-03-2008, 16:16

yeah i think it would be ok, it would just p1ss em off a bit.

my idea would be to have 'DRIFT POLICE' on the bonnet instead of police.

just imagine seeing it sidways..... lol

Baskie. · 11-03-2008, 16:18

Its illegal im sure for road use due to imitation etc. As for the reflective vinyl im sure they'd whinge about that too but would look mighty cool!

Captain Muppet · 11-03-2008, 16:19

Also interested in a price for this - should keep the fast lane clear when I'm in the BMW, if I can find a nice chunky blue roof rack...

brock200sx · 11-03-2008, 16:24

no harm in trying!!

im sure you can, aslong as it doesnt say police on the car ?

bur by putting these little fellers in '' , does it make drift police one word ?

cookwibble · 11-03-2008, 16:38

you cant have blue and yellow!!

initial_j · 11-03-2008, 16:40

defo illegal mate. not allowed any reflective graphics on car iirc. ask stavros what the score is as im sure redline did a mock up police type car

No, by putting the space between "drift" and "police" you make them two words.

Still, try the punctuation argument with the police when they stop you, they love that.

MJG · 11-03-2008, 16:46

It can be blue and yellow, but can't be reflective. That is why AA vans etc have painted on zig-zags etc due to them not being able to use the battenberg reflective stuff. Would probs be fairly expensive too.

initial_j · 11-03-2008, 16:51

tbh though unless your car is 1000 percent legal (and fook, whos is?!) its probably not worth the hassle youd get from the police!

brock200sx · 11-03-2008, 17:52

so should i do it ?

redline did do a volvo t5 with it .

so non reflective is the way to go .

MJG · 11-03-2008, 18:31

Upto you, it's your car, but if you really wanted to make it look like a police car then you should really use non-reflective stuff, I can't remember where I read it but it was somewhere official-ish, and the proper reflective stuff is reserved for emergency services.

initial_j · 11-03-2008, 18:45

personaly i really dont see why you want to? your just gonna get pulled everywhere you go, and theyll probably find something to give you points for, or tell you to remove the vinyl which will be a waste of money you could of spent on actually buying drift parts for your car

Jez@s13oc · 11-03-2008, 19:35

Why not go for an American or japanesse style police graphics?

jap-si · 11-03-2008, 19:36

gotta agree with some of the view here. do you realy want to egg on traffic cops? they can be pretty anal at times.

brock200sx · 11-03-2008, 19:57

i just thougt it woulld be really sweet,

it would get loads of attention at drift days

and it would be cool confusing the non-drift public

it all depends on price, it doesnt look a complicated design so if i get pulled after a month of using it then worthwhile it may have bin.

initial_j · 11-03-2008, 19:59

like i said is there nothing more you need to do to your car first? as police vinyls dont help you get more sideways, contrary to popular believe!

brock200sx · 11-03-2008, 20:00

yeah but the graphics give an instant transformation

whitelabelboy · 11-03-2008, 21:26

theres some volvo that race's around hams hall that has the yellow and blue reflective, just like the police cars, the police have never said anything to him 'as far as i know of'
