Hey guys,

As was mentioned in a separate thread I had a wad of hit and run damage down the offside of the Willy, which was fixed last week.
While the body shop (Ivy Bridge Body Centre of Plympton) did a fantastic job there was one problem they encountered. As they could only get a “Williams” sticker from the dealers up the road meaning I still need a number 3.
Today I popped into the dealers and was told that they could only order a "Williams", I was lucky their suppliers had that in stock and that I wouldn’t be able to order a "Williams 3" directly from Renault.

Do any of you cool Williams cats have a spare 3 I’d be able to buy, know of anyone readily able to stencil one up or of a dealer/shop that can get them in?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks taking the time to direct me to the right thread and making the call.
It’s odd that the Plymouth dealers said that there was no way I’d be able to get the sticker off them as their suppliers had none, yet the chaps at Coventry haven’t a problem.
Is there a number or website that goes straight to the main suppliers?

Quote the part number and just tell them that they are available at Coventry, or try another local dealers

There is no centeral parts number/website

Hey Guys,

I quoted the part number and the dealers were able to get the stickers through however there was a problem.
Unfortunately “3" STICKER=7701385855” refers to the boot lid sticker and not the one for the offside. While the differences are pretty small, I would like to keep the car as authentic as is humanly possible.
The dealers were typically “helpful” by insisting they probably couldn’t find out the correct part number, so I’m hoping you guys can chip in with your wealth of knowledge.

Any further help is greatly appreciated.

northy i think u might be jumping the gun.

the guy doesnt want the williams part of the sticker, but the actual '3'.

there is a part no. for the '3' but it refers to the tailgate sticker.

there is no part no. for the n/s/r or o/s/r '3' sticker, i think thats what he is trying to find out

final abode’s got the right end of the stick as I thought “WILLIAMS(BLUE INFILL) O/S/R+N/S/R STICKER=7700847769” was for the “Williams” decal, not the number 3. Just phoned the dealers up and they’re not too sure either, but have ordered it in anyway.
Sorry if it seemed I was being a bit simple, but I wasn’t too sure if there were 2 Williams logos and only one for the number 3, which I ordered and was the wrong one.

“all the "3"'s are the same size!!!! rear and both sides!”

I’ve just gone and checked the boot with the nearside “3” and the boot lid font seems a bit taller and thinner and I think on a black background. It is dark so I might be wrong about the latter point, but they still don’t match.

The tailgate has a smaller williams and 2 or 3 sticker.

U can tell by the shape of the template on the backing.

He's got them lined up in the wrong order.
The middle 3 is for the tailgate, it's smaller than the other two.

I went to the dealers today to pick up the decals and it became clear where the confusion had come from.
My Williams previously had a re-spray and the spray shop had got the decals unofficially and with the font ever so slightly bodged. When I had the rear quarter O/S re-sprayed after the hit and run on it I needed to get the correct “3”. The confusion came with the official 3 not matching the unofficial decal on the near side.

The problem I now have is I need to remove the wrong “3” so they can match on both sides.
How easy is it to remove the sticker and do you guys have any tips so I don’t damage the paintwork?

it will peal off very easly mate. just use your nail.

Heat it up with a hairdryer, will peel of nice and easy then without damaging paint. Chances are if you don't heat it a bit you'll do damage.

Unless it's been laquered over/around.
