I have some club stickers on the rear windows of the wife's Celica. Don't look tacky and would happily have a similar type on the X.

I know there are a few forum members in my area (I'm in Dukinfield) and its always nice to give a nod to people who appreciate their car in the same way I do.

Surely the fact the car is common is exactly why it will work?

If I see a car the same as I mine I always tend to give it a closer look than any other as I pass, If I saw a url for what appeared to be a enthusiast site then I'd probably make a mental note of it and check it out.

A way of marketing the site and growing membership throughout all the sections?

Sorry far too common with not enough Internet nerds that would be on here

It works on the lotus site because it is a smaller community and cars are driven by enthusiasts whereas X5s are driven by MILFS on the school run who would rather be on Facebook when they get home stalking ex boyfriends.

Ha ha fair point, although I still disagree :)

You don't have to be a nerd to use the internet these days, it's become a fairly common phenomenon :)

I don't see any negative effect it could have, if people wanted to put stickers in their car then they could, if, not then they wouldn't have to.

Cheers
