Grizz, as always observing from afar.
Rather than making stickers you could make a 'grille badge'? I've just done something very similar - family business turned 50 this year so to commemorate it I've made a pile of badges to hand out to clients. Once you've got the method they can be knocked out pretty quickly and a handy skill to have to recreate makers plates, badges or create a stamp/brand.
It's simply etching aluminium. The process: make a vinyl mask, dip in etching solution - cheap from amazon/ebay etc. - and then painting the relief by hand.
Below is one I knocked out for the World Cup:

Congratulations on your teams performance last night.
So back to the wheels.
John came around on Monday to collect some parcels as he uses my address for a more secure delivery destination.
I had planned to be welding but se started talking about the wheels.
In the end we removed to rivets from the wheels in a painfully slow process.
I ordered 100 rivets for about £33.00 online.
Centrr caps, also ordered will hopefully be on their way from Temu.
VIDEO:
Next will be cleaning up and painting the wheels.
Another job now in limbo of course is the process.
I ended up spending about 4 plus hours working next door yesterday. The neighbours are very capable in many aspects of life, but they are just not experienced gardeners and I am.
So a load of ground levelling and clearing up the building site that is their back yard.
Followed by a couple of hours mowing the lawn and cutting back some beds.
With a two year old ruling the roost, their garden had not been touched since August and had now overwhelmed them.
So today is day two of the recovery.
Skoda and wheels can wait.
More soon.

Wow, you a true hero Rian
I hope your neighbors know how lucky they are
Well…..
Fat guys shouldn’t work like demons in a neighbours garden.
But two days and we’re done.
Knackered.
I don’t think they really understand my mentality.
Where they came from nobody helped each other.
I was aware that with a two year old demon daughter, and two boys around 8 years old, one the sone, one being a terribly damaged foster child with so many more problems and baggage than a child of his age should carry……. Gardening is just not a priority, though it should be.
Lucas works incredibly hard as a “Super Scaffolder” he is a beast, brutally strong and super fit, but he doesn’t know the one end of a rake, mower or garden spade, from the other.
He has offered to clean my roof gutters because he knows I hate ladders, not the going up them, but rather falling and possibly landing on my head.
So I just needed to get in there with my mower to get it them started, of course all of that suddenly turned into a two day ordeal (not really an ordeal) and now it looks incredible.
Last weekend we also cut down the hedge down the side of my garage, then Lucas wrestled all the stumps out. Later today I went into this area and with flat a pick axe I managed to level it all. Then Lucas added membrane and we (mostly him) got all the left over building rubble, stones, ******** etc down this alley too. It will get levelled tomorrow or so when I have recovered
and then we will run the compactor over it. Covering it will create a great storage space of about 28 x 8 feet. Or 9 x 2 meters.
There may be more to do later.
But for today……
Done.
