Where can I get one of the stickers for more than 4 passengers? It does cause some confusion with punters.

I know someone who has a stretch version TW200, and he has had no end of problems.

But I quite like the normal size.

No probs yet but only 6 months old!
Done 20,000 miles, so far so good!
Apart from both sets of pads being replaced and new set of front tyres! (prob my style of driving though!)
