Hi Rad,

I'm doing the same thing to my RD04 @. It's already painted in the Rothmans
scheme, but the getting the stickers is a harder affair. Through a
specialist tobacconist (who unfortunately didn't have any stickers) and
some additional searching, I got in contact with the PR/racing guy at
Rothmans. 

Because of different regulations concerning tobacco advertising in
different countries, they don't print stickers anymore. The racing teams do
'customized' stickers them selves. In some countries (like Germany, I
think?), the Rohtmans text is replaced with "Racing", printed in the same
type face. They have to change the stickers almost every race depending on
local and current legislation.

You can buy Rothmans stickers from Götz, but the aren't the real thing; the
graphics are low quality and the colours are wrong. Most notably, they
totally forgot about the gold colour.

If you (or anyone else for that matter) find some source for stickers, e.g.
racing teams, please let me know! It's nice to know that there are more
fanatics on the list.

Keep sliding
