Slap Stickers

Slap stickers are printed vinyl stickers you peel and press straight on: back windows, bumpers, toolboxes, laptops. Most of the range is Strictly Static, including the best-selling Slammed Things and Krispy, with EuroStance singles and packs and a Hoonigan HRD20 Censor Bar sticker.

How to choose

• Single or pack: the EuroStance packs (Car Meet v1, Car Meet v3 and the 11-sticker JDM pack) come as a set on a EuroStance header card, which makes them an easy gift.
• Size: Strictly Static singles are about 180 x 50mm, EuroStance singles 200 x 60mm and the Hoonigan 8 x 2 inches (about 200 x 50mm).
• Tone: many designs are scene in-jokes and some are deliberately rude, Car Meet v3 most of all, so look closely before one goes on a family car.

Good to know

• Stickers do not grip well on wax, sealant or a coating, so wipe the spot with a product from Panel Wipe & IPA first and apply on a dry, mild day.
• On glass, keep them out of the wiper sweep and away from where you scrape ice. To remove one, warm it with a hairdryer, peel slowly and lift any leftover glue with a product from Tar & Glue Removers.

What are slap stickers used for?

In car culture they show what you are into: a brand, a style such as JDM or stance, or a scene in-joke. They go on back windows, bumpers, toolboxes and laptops.

Are bumper stickers legal in the UK?

Yes on the bodywork. Keep them off the number plates, which must not be altered so they are hard to read, and out of the part of the windscreen the wipers clear, which the MOT checks for anything that blocks the driver's view. More on both in Car Decals.
