I'm off on a trip to France with my brother in the F-type.
I've got magnetic GB "stickers" - but of course they don't stick.
I'm a bit loathe to put actual stickers on the car - and I don't have a UK flag on my number plate (I suppose I could get one).
So - what do you all do? Where would you put the sticker - does it cause any problems with the paint?
And - I think I don't need the stickers for the headlights. Should I get European breakdown - given I've just had the coolant pipe, oil leak and sheared bolts fixed?
thanks in advance - Roland
Where do I put my GB sticker for driving in France
I previously have just added the reg plate stickers such as these.
This is probably the best guide for what you need.

GB stickers are no good. Now we’re out of Europe, it’s UK stickers. I put one on the number plate as per previous photo. No headlamp beam deflectors needed on an F Type.

I think you’ll find that stickers on the number plate are too small to be legal now.
Just get a stick on Halfords UK oval one - any residue will easily wipe off after.
Definitely get breakdown cover - what if you get a puncture and the gunk is no good / the local garage can’t source a tyre?

Check your insurance company don't already supply overseas car breakdown cover.
Had bad experience with the AA when an e type broke down in Austria, took over 10 weeks to recover it.
We then found out that the car insurance policy had a breakdown cover built in.

@Gareth - yes I meant UK stickers - I got some last year for my other car, when I went to France (magnetic ones)
@Adrain1961 - I have that stuff from the trip to France from last year, including the breathalysers......! Must remember to get a set of bulbs - although with LEDs - do we need them?
@Ratboiler - must check that - I have UK breakdown cover through them (with the RAC) - but it doesn't mention Europe - I think they wanted another £70 or so on top of my insurance for European cover, and at the time I didn't think I would need it, as we were going to go in my brother's S-type......
@Lunar - good point about the tyre - must admit that I drove to France last year in my Mazda, and that doesn't have a spare tyre.....perhaps I was lucky!
@simpleR - I'll have a look at the link - I think I will at the very least buy some of those stickers!

I'd say these days if you need a spare you've been unlucky!

Also a clean air sticker is required.
