   Is it 'illegal' to put a sticker of pictured size (it will be a word, so won't cover that entire area, but it'd be in that placement) in the pictured place?

   This is a common place for the name stickers to go bud... i can't see it being illegal as it does'nt impare the drivers view and also ive seen many going around, there was a vdub at a meet on sunday and the police came in round and never stopped just took a quick look and kept going so i dont think it is illegal mate , the copper was a traffic cop too so surley he would have picked up on it ...

   I would have thought it would have been okay as its not in direct driver view that is tested on MOT. Not sure though. Probably depends on size of sticker.

   stickers on the passenger side cannot encroach more than 40mm into the swept area of the wiper blades.

   As ross said. ^
   
   If you get a larger sticker though, smaller wiper blades always help to get around it..For MOT time etc anyway

   Depends on where you take the car really, can always peal it off if needed

    Ask the eBay sellers mate, they can custom make ones for you!
    
    
    
    
    Cheers all, it will be in the path of the window wipers but fuck it, if it's a problem for the police I'll peel it off there and then, will only be a few quid down the drain
