It is worse here in Canada, we get two sets of stickers, the English ones that are on all cars and a cheap shiny plastic one in French. The first week I had mine I tore off the French ones. Months later the dealer told me that I would have to replace the stickers to re-sell the car as it was part of the safety equipment, and I could not pass the "safety certificate" to sell the car without the stickers in place.
Do any of you know if this is the case where you are?
