What a difference a sticker makes

Finally, a sticky smiley is here (as is a new range of super-smart polo shirts)

---

Forget the 'big bang', creating a PH sticker that works has required more laboratory time than we ever imagined. In fact, all sorts of clever people (Oddie, Ball and that bloke from D:Ream to name but a few) have been working hard to find the perfect formula. Using Riggers* as our laboratory animal we stuck stickers on him for months and finally (much to the delight of Mr Riggers) we are ready to offer a small selection of stickers for your affixing pleasure.

Presented in 2-inch, 3.5-inch, 8-inch and 22-inch sizes, the beatifully crafted vinyl items show (we think) a welcome return to form for sticky-backed smileys. They come in a range of colours too, and start at just £2.

This is just the start of our adhesive activity and we'll be offering more designs, colours and themes throughout the year, so watch this space for more information.

Smileys can be found here.

In addition to vinyl we are also pleased to welcome a new range of polos. We don't mean the VW variety, nor the mint/fruit holey sweet - we mean the shirt. Yes, PH can now help for those times when the boss tells you to 'smarten up', you have an awkward court appearance or when you are at a loss as to what to wear on your wedding day.

Offered in a range of sizes to suit all frames, the polo come with a free collar and a discreet woven smiley sewn into top-quality materials and finished in your choice of blue or black. Best of all is the price, as we have made these at under £25. Beat that, Hugo Boss.

Have a look at the blue shirt here and the black shirt here.

The PH team continues to add to the T-shirt range on a very regular basis and we hope to launch a range for bikers soon following many requests in the forums. In the meantime, keep the comments, suggestions and questions coming.

* No Riggerses were hurt in the process, just a little mental scarring.

Just takes me to a £5 t-shirt of non-Phness, and no PH stickers showing on the stickers link there.

Only joshing chaps. Glad to see the stickers are back!

[Garlick]

Odd, they work fine for me?

Not sure how to answer this.......

Everyone having the same issue? I see it correctly (albeit the sticker isn't a direct link, just to the page they feature on)

Not sure you have any control over the workings of their site, and their (presumably) cookie based mayhem.

I get the whole range if I search for pistonheads in their search box.

Arse.

This! Who are the t-shirts made by?

So the question is where is the officially sanctioned spot to put these stickers? For fellow PH'er identification in the wild. I'm thinking rear bumper above the exhaust pipe(s)?

I've successfully added the smilies to my cart, select PH on the left and the stickers are on page 1.

That's where I've got mine.

Also, may I suggest something on the site which confirms that these are suitable for windows and bodywork?

Any chance of a slightly smaller sticker too? Something that could, for example, be placed on the wing-mirror, without being obtrusive?
It was suggested on one of the other threads.

Definitely suitable for bodywork and glass, but we'll get that added.

Going smaller than 2'' on a vinyl cut-out is tricky as we won't get the detail, you might (might) be able to do 1.5''....maybe.

And pray tell whence cometh the jovial adhesive avatars of hilarity are? Hmmm? Hmmm? Well? Where are they?

We'll have to find something else to bh about now.

Stickers yes - but not fret cut??

Fret cut? I have no idea what that is!

These are cut vinyl applied directly to the chosen surface, no backing sticker/ background (as per usual....but better quality)

One of the previous shops sold a PH nose badge are there any plans to sell them again? Also are you going to make other colours or vinal types available i.e. carbon fiber effect?
