Nah, dont like that at all, why not stick a price tag on instead?

I think it's going to be on the LHS of the boot lid, from under the window down to the swage in the boot panel.

I'm finding this is the problem with the 500! Because we've all got time on our hands before delivery we are all looking at what we can add. So far I've sorted out chrome number plate surrounds, custom number plates (with 500 logo's) possibly private reg plate's and now this excellent idea with the bar code.
Just got to decide if I want the "A" bar on the front now......arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Is the A bar just a stick on flat plastic one, or a proper bar that sits away from the car?
I have a reg number in mind, not sure on that yet... Thursday should be order day if the Panda 1.2 is as good as I remember... been put off MJ by all the Panda guys saying it has loads of lag and only 55mpg

The Panda Mjet does have a fair bit of lag, but it's a very smooth engine and screams when you rev it! I think the 500 version is a bit better than the Panda's but still doesn't irradicate the low down lethargy... anyway, I thought the 1.2 was the only one you were considering?!been put off MJ by all the Panda guys saying it has loads of lag and only 55mpg
The A bar is indeed just a stick on thing, it will stick out a bit, say 1.5-2cm or so, so it's not completely flat.
I've got my reg sorted and I will get the Italia side badges. Will also look into getting the leather gearknob and the stainless steel sill plates. Maybe even some bigger wheels, but those will come later. I might even stick a little '5' decal on the bonnet or find somewhere else niffty to stick it

Had them on the Cooper S (real one not BMW dross) they distorted after a while, although they wer epretty cheap & nasty to start with.
They come attached with a stencil kind of thing. You line the stencil up with the body panels which then helps you stick it in just the right placethanks, ill get them myself, at least if I put them on wonky its my fault

sounds easy.
Do they just stick on with a backing or do you have to get some sort of adhesive? I might get myself a pair...
As for custom decals, I was thinking of going all out on my car and paying an artist to do some funky street art stuff to be made into a B&W vinyl (sort of like this http://astronautboys.deviantart.com/art/unsecret-war-86461347) that will go on the sides and possibly the front of the car. Either that or I'll be designing my own in Illustrator. What does everyone reckon? Would they be too difficult to fit?

I got the Fiat branded one off ebay, it looks great on the rear, especially for around £8! PS They're too big for the front
