Default Engine Bay Stickers - Correct Placement?

I'm about to replace my engine bay stickers as some of them are looking tired, or aren't there at all.

I managed to get what must have been one of the last 993 option code Mobil 1 stickers last year to replace the tired old one, so I'd now like to change the others too.

In the UK, I'm not sure if we we had air con (964 701 141 01) and firing order stickers (964 602 544 01) as standard, but I'd like to add them.

Where should these be placed in the engine bay and does anyone have photos of them in situ please?

(Must get that pad sorted!)

Cheers

Sam

I've been told pliobond is good for fixing the sound pad. Yours looks a bit like mine, just losing it a bit at the leading edges.

Sam why do you want to add stickers that weren't fitted to UK cars?

There is only one correct way of doing this:

K&N FILTER STICKER NEEDS TO BE AT LEAST 5X7 AND ALWAYS VISIBLE!

Thanks Ben, by coincidence I found your posts discussing Pliobond earlier today. I can order it here in the UK but it takes four weeks to arrive from the US and I can only order a minimum of 1.5 pints! Am going to look for somewhere in the US that will ship it to me in the UK, hopefully in a smaller quantity......

Cheers for posting the photo Mike, will be a big help!

Hi Dom, I've ordered them from OPC Reading and am thinking of fitting the air con/firing order sticker as a point of interest/information (geek or what?).

Plus I need to replace the oil level sticker as mine is tired and needs to come off for the repaint anyway.

Ok, it says "Porsche Made in Germany", then a bunch of warning about the AC & 134. I was able to blow up & read it with the above pic.

Mike, I'm surprised your varioram intake doesn't have the "VARIORAM" cast into it.

+1

The ROW cars have fewer stickers than the US cars, could someone post a picture of a ROW car ?

Yup, me as well. I guess they used what ever was on hand.

Mine is an ROW car in the photo in my OP and that's the sum total of stickers on an ROW car as far as I'm aware..... I think the early non-VR cars had a Shell sticker on the rear fuse box cover instead of the Mobil 1 sticker.

No Varioram script on my chamber either. Mine is a 1995 (1996 MY), but I thought it was only early VR cars didn't have the script, so when did the script arrive?

Could somebody give me the part numbers for the above stickers? I seem to have transposed a couple of numbers and no longer have the car at home. Thanks.
