Hi Guys,
I took inspiration from Adam and got my "new" car sorted with something similar.

I was originally going to buy a pick-up, but decided to go down the route of an old TX1 London cab, I took out the sliding glass partition and can easily get 10ft lengths of moulding in, as it's disabled access, I can get the Mother-in-law in the car with minimum fuss, and as we're based down in SW France it really gets noticed by the French :shock: , as well as all the expats, we've had nothing but positive reactions to it so far.

I got the idea from a piece of Mondrian floor standing art that was auctioned recently.

Make sure you notify your insurers. I guess you will need to insure for business use , if not already covered. This may raise the cost of insuring your car. The signeage looks great

Glad someone mentioned insurance, I was just going to say that.

There was a case on Radio 2 the other week where a womans car was vandalised and the insurance refused to pay out as she had modified the car (put vinyl stickers on) without telling them.

It should not be a problem but make sure you notify them so you are covered.

Cheers

I am no longer with an Accountant so was wondering if I can offset the price of the car against my 2013/2014 tax return ? I'm a Sole Trader and not VAT registered. I wouldn't offset the price I paid for it in 2012, just the depreciated value of it in 2013.
Get an accountant! The 100% is a year-of-purchase only benefit called First Year Allowance "FYA". If you didnt claim it then you can only claim 18% capital allowances, on a reducing balance basis, in subsequent years. You are not restricted to depreciated cost, assuming you mean accoubts depreciated, not tax written down value.

Just make sure you inform your insurer as they will consider this a material change to the car and may refuse to pay out if you have an accident.

I dug this thread up because, yesterday I was getting a quote for car insurance , well getting a newer one and wanted to change the insurance to the new one, anyway they asked me if I was going to have any ' signs/advertising ' on it , so Adam have you checked with your insurance company about this.

Lovely job, we did something similar to our IQ but a word of caution if your car has the pearlescent white paint then be very careful if you remove the logo as there is a problem with the top layers of paint bonding to the base layers. You might have noticed how large stone chips are on the bonnet.

Just realised that this was an old thread but Steve very nearly every car has sign's/advertising on it from the make & model to the sticker in the rear window of the garage that supplied it, the name of the garage on the number plates & various other bits.
Our old car which was sign written was written off & the assessor said that it was a company car to which I replied no it's a private car with a few additional stickers on. Nothing more was said.
It's just the greedy git's of the insurance world trying to get more for nothing, like stinging you for claim excess when you inform them of an accident that wasn't your fault & you then have to go after the other insurer to get the money back.
Normally they are nothing more than common thief's.
