Send a PM to Ian.Mothersole (the shopkeeper), he will know and if he doesn't have any at the moment I'm sure he will be ordering them before long.

I have ordered some new ones from the supplier, so will update on here when I have them :thumleft:
Afraid I cannot give a time-scale for this.

Will be in touch,

Right, I have just checked actual stock levels and have four white sets available in the shop now (first come first served) :)
More are on order, but these will be a little while longer..

Give the membership secretary (hadlowj) a PM, and he can give you one that hasn't been posted out yet.

May I ask a daft question please. When putting these on do I remove the backing paper (which says Signvinyl) first and then heat and apply? I’m sure I do but really don’t want to mess it up!

I don't *think* you need to heat them, just peel the backing paper, apply and press down firmly on the graphics then pull the top transfer layer off slowly and carefully, almost 180 degrees back on itself, ensuring the sticker bits remain stuck to the calliper.

Warming the sticker, or better still warming the surface, helps it to conform to the shape and get a better grip.

I apply the stickers as per Alan's instructions but go and have a cup of tea between rubbing down the transfer layer and pulling it off.
This gives the sticker more time to adhere and less likely to come away with the transfer.

Applying on very uneven surfaces the top transfer paper might crease or tear, as it's not as flexible as the vinyl. This isn't necessarily a problem, as long as the vinyl is down firmly.
