Yeah - it'd definitely hold up better being printed. I sort of like it, and it's original, but I don't like it enough to be bothered to go through the trouble myself, if that makes sense.

But then, I've got a big factory Lotus Sport banner running across my windscreen.

That would be my concern too, especially since I'd be using a slip solution to get the thing placed and it wouldn't be likely that I'd get all the slip out from under it the way those crevices in that panel are.
