Warning Signs

Just come across this thread. I'm looking at reflective squares and I notice the price of a plastic one here is £6.50 but an aluminium one is £31!

Fiamma Carry-Bike Alu / Plastic Signal

I wonder if it is ok to buy a plastic one and stick it to a piece of aluminium? Would that then count as an ally one?

Keep it cheap, just stick aluminium kitchen foil on to the back. Post back and let us know how convinced the Italian cop was, should you ever get hauled over.
 
Will she personally fit it and if there is a problem ( which there will be regular ) will she come and fettle it for you :confused:
 
It is a requirement that the stripes be REFLECTIVE , the stripes on the plastic Fiamma type boards ?are NOT reflective ,that is why they have added round reflectors at the corners, meet the wrong cop and you will be paying a fine, :have fun::have fun:

I don't think Ken has been on the forum for a while. The last I heard of him apparently his son had jailed him for wildcamping on a Spanish beach:)

Some good points made there I guess. I'm not one who cares about showing off to others. It's just that we are getting ready for a trip to Europe and I the numbers are starting to add up. Bought a new wheel and tyre because our van doesn't come with one, bought a set of refillable gas bottles, getting a full set of bulbs and fuses plus numerous other things that we seem to need so if I can save a few quid here and there then that's what I'm going to try to do.
As for people's businesses I should think that most people shop around to see if they can get things for a cheaper price, don't you?
