Angles mort stickers - they are HUGE

[Evoller]

These are enormous! probably been answered before, but I'm so reluctant to stick these on my lovely new van.
Any suggestions how to attach these in a way that they can be easily removed once back in the UK please?

I use these, and can highly recommend.

We stick ours on with Froggy Tape - bright green, but at least it peels off easily with no residue.

Don’t bother…. The French don’t …. Mine live in the glove box

We got magnetic ones at one of the warners shows, slapped them on in the ferry queue and took them off once we’d passed through France. Not sure if your Boxer is a PVC but if it is, the magnetic ones are a great solution

Not pretty, but not permanent!

Thanks for quick replies. Changed from the Boxer van to Carthago so magnetic won't work. But I have frog tape in my handbag at all times so will try that genius suggestion!
Thanks all

Keep them in the glove box and forget to attach them. French don,t bother its only us and a few Germans

If the rear of your van is 'plastic' and you can easily get to the reverse (We can). Two strong magnets inside and fridge magnets fixed to the back of the stickers mounted on something more rigid. If you can fix it so the base is supported it will not slide off If it's steel, use several fridge magnets without the need for the internal ones. You will need to work out the polarity for all the magnets you use.

I saw many French motorhomes with them on in October. I made my own from some Perspex I had and suckers bought on the net

I attach mine in the glove box

 

[funflair]

I just polish the area and then stick them on, remove ASAP and place back on the wax paper backing

I've looked at those, but they seem very expensive for what they are. Do the suckers hold firm at motorway speeds or do you just apply them in "rural" areas?

Only got them this year, and drove from the top to the bottom of France at motorway speeds in all weathers and they didn't move.

They do seem expensive for what they are, but they feel like they have a nice quality, and they just work.

We use magnetic on the cab and static on the rear, seems to stay on amazingly well, but can be removed and reused

Apparently Cliff says he stuck our stickers onto plastic. They are then stuck onto the van with the tape. He says they last longer that way!

Yep they are big, they take up a lot of room in the glove box.

I've got a 3.5 ton van

 

[Bessy765]

Have beefed them up it 10 suction cups, never lost one in 24.000 miles. 2 mm alloy plate and suction cups from Amazon.

Brilliant idea! Leaves a gap for air flow and rain run off...perfect. Thankyou

It is no longer a legal requirement apparently, according to things I have read.

Same principle as the ones I bought for £14.99 each. Can you make them for a lot less?

 

[gpat]

We saw a van on the M5 with them plastered all over it. The van was only 5.5m.

Aren't they a danger to any pedestrians that get in your way?

That sounds too sensible.

I am guessing we would all like to see where you have read it !

Ours is only 6.8m but is over 3.5 tons hence the sticker requirement. The law only came in 2021 so I believe it still applies. €135 fine if we get it wrong .... DOH

I'm afraid I don't remember which is why I did not post evidence. I'll have a look around on Google.

Ok, well it seems that over 3.5T you need them still, but that counts a lot of us out.

Vehicles exceeding 3,500kg in France

All motorhomes and caravans (not combined with towing vehicle) with a total weight exceeding 3.5 tonnes must have a sticker showing the position of the blind spots, visible on the sides and at the rear of the vehicle. These regulations are in force since 1 January 2021.
