Default Where to get USDM Insight 'HYBRID' Sticker

The UK models just have the Honda logo where the US models have the HYBRID (gasoline-petrol) sticker. Where can I get the US sticker?

Cheers

You can find the stickers here:

Honda Automotive Parts

It's part # 19 ($7 US) and they should be able to ship it to you.

Thanks, Ive emailed then about UK delivery. I can get two aswell if you want one Roger?

Not looking promising though, UPS residental through the site wants $10 delivery and $5 handling for a little sticker!

Perhaps a US member can take a high quality close up shot of one, then we/you can use photoshop or something and print it on some clear vinyl sign material.

Once we have a useable image to copy, the graphics guy at work will be able to make something suitable. I will ask him next time I see him.....I have asked Mike to send a decent photo and dimensions to give us something to work with.

They were the only options on the site, anything else was even more money. None the less I received an email from majestic; due to customs issues and lost packages they no longer ship outside the US, even if it is only a sticker.

I have now got a photocopy of this sticker from Mike, so I know the dimensions. An original sticker would not be be much use in the UK as it has Gasoline written on it! The dozy sods behind us who are thick enough to not know the Insight is a hybrid anyway, are going to get mightily confused if we confront them with an American word with lots of sylables...

I will see if Colin can come up with something containing the word "Petrol" instead, and perhaps "Petrol-MIMA-Electric," or "Petrol-Electric+MIMA" would be better with "Petrol+Bloody great battery+ MIMA" for Pete
