Probably a warning about driving the car as these aren't usually torked to operating specs, HAND TIGHT! Maybe a manufacturer name too. They're nice compared to the others I've seen, usually some bright color...And they're appropriately marked in Blue & Red for the side of the car...

Looks to me like the stickers with the writing on these alternate from red to blue.

I would have thought your request for a pic, would have been for the location of 10R,s Anniversary chassis plate. Look closely at the interior pic and all will be revealed

Re: Location of GTR's - Index

Started my year well when i saw 10r on sunday. Missed it a few times in the last couple of years. Seen it in plain red at silverstone & goodwood years ago.
The show also had 3 mp4-12c gt3 cars,
United Autosports
Lark-von ryan racing
& Can am edition no25, which turned out is for sale at a garage 20 miles from me!

Going back to 10r, the car looked great. Took plenty of photos including wheel nut & 20th anniversary meet plaques. Got talking to lady on stand who moved the barriers for me to get a better front end shot. She said people on trade day had been trying to sit inside it & making up fake stories saying they had permission off someone!One visitor moved the barriers himself!& another time a child stood on the front splitter! I told her i would gladly be a security guard for the car!
Apologise's for not uploading photo's yet. Greg knows how useless i am at technical stuff.
You never forget the first time you see a GTR livery after years of waiting.
Had it with 13r,5r & now 10r. Dont know what next highlight will be. Hopefully a group gathering one day!
