Instead of magnetic numbers, I'd suggest using vinyl stick-on/peel-off numbers. Yes, they are one-time use, but they are cheap, won't damage your paint, and won't fall off. They go on in less than a minute and come off just as fast. Any local sign store should be able to create them for you, no reason to use an expensive "racing" online store. Mine cost $1 a sheet. I'd be glad to send you a sheet (with number 254) if you wanted to evaluate them and try installation/removal for yourself.

I was think of getting background squares magnetic , and magnetic numbers .
Hoping having double would stop them falling off ...

But I like your idea better .
There is a sign shop within walking distance .
Ill go see them on Monday !!

If they can't help ill get in touch with the guy who made the boxster side stripes .

Thanks for the tip tom .

I called at the sign shop after work yesterday but they where shut .
I thought about it last night and I'm thinking of getting the same style and colour numbers for both cars then it will be easier to make new numbers should one car not be allowed to use its number .
