DOH!!! - Brain Fart!!
My best buddy has part ownership in a sign shop. He's done a number of things 'gratis' for me.
He offered to do nice magnetic signs for my autocrossing with my car # and class.
We met today for lunch, and he had them.
C'mere, I said...let's see how they look!
It was only when I went to slap them on the door...and they promptly fell to the ground that I remembered....ALUMINUM DOORS!!!!

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger on that one. I had magnetic numbers for my 951 for years. I completely forgot about the aluminum and had to use shoe polish this past weekend at the track. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Mark,
I, too, "discovered" this problem when trying to use my 944 Turbo S magnetic numbers on my "new" track car ('89 S4)
MOST embarrassing!
Fortunately, I was still able to use them on the rear quarter panels, with a little electrical tape reinforcement where they overlap the bottom of the windows. Not real classy, but better than shoe polish. Smaller numbers would work just fine.
