my dealer put their big rectangular sticker on the back window, decreasing further the rearward visability. A hot cloth to soften the adhesive and off the offending sticker came. Visibility improved 100%.

Sale was off if there were any stickers on mine. They had one for the tax disc, but ill let them off since it was that or sellotape

I always request NO stickers, it's not just the advertising - my biggest gripe is it annoys me seeing those huge rectangles in my rear view mirror - I guess it must be so bad having one on the rear of the Civic!

Topcat · 23rd February 2007, 19:57

I ripped mine off as soon as I had the number plates changed at a different dealership, didn't want to be advertising two dealers now did I

TonyBee · 23rd February 2007, 20:28

Rowes Honda in Plymouth certainly listen. The salesman remembered that I had requested not to have them on my previous civic and they were not there when I picked up this one.

Brodick · 23rd February 2007, 20:37

I have never asked a dealer not to out their sticker on.

I always take it off the car after a day or so without any problems

MARK182 · 23rd February 2007, 22:16

i always take mine off asap but i thought it would be better just not to have them on in the first place, ill ask tomorrow as i am going to see the salesman

Charles_Harding · 24th February 2007, 11:17

I changed my tax disc holder.
Removed the stealers sticker from the rear screen
Even changed the plates so they don't give out their name
.......but the stealer was good, I just don't like driving a billboard!

Ruislip have stopped putting stickers in the back window as most peeps didn't want them or took them straight off.

They did ask if it was OK to put their name on the number plates - which is fine by me.

MARK182 · 24th February 2007, 18:39

went to the dealer today, he said they do put a sticker in the back window when i asked him to leave it off he said it was fine.
the number plate do have the dealer name at the bottom but at least they are euro ones my other cars i have brought have been normal plain one

We've been to 2 different dealers. The first has a sticker very similar to the Civinfo forum sticker. The second has a sticky in the middle of the back window, looks dreadful.

We've previously bought our cars from Arnold Clark and I've always taken their stickers off, and have made no secret of the fact that I was disgusted that they considered sticking one on in the first place! Not going back to them this time. Don't mind dealer name on the numberplate though.

Actually it's the law that you have to have at least the post code of the number plate supplier on the plate!

Halfords do theirs in white so it dosen't really notice!

Why is that? Because of illegal plates?

Don't know what the reason is, but it is the law.

plate makers have to registered with the dvla (i think) for the plate to be legal,
i presume that they have to pay to register, and the postcode and name is just a check quick for the police/MOT etc

The law states that the plates (if fitted after 2001) mus be to BS AU 145d. And this standard states that the postcode of the number plate maker must be on the plate.

Got a sticker in my 04 Civic Sport, but not one on this one. I have seen some around with dealer stickers on, they look terrible!

I never tried getting one off before, I would be too worried about damaging the filaments of the rear screen heaters.
