Get a Sign writing place to do it as they always have someone who goes round car show rooms and businesses putting them up.
Don't do it yourself as everywhere you go you'll get someone point out that they aren't straight or they have a bubble in there etc.

Vehicle sign writers are your best bet, it'll only take them 20 mins to do it as well.

Hello mate done two, one 1600i and 0ne S1.
Clean all traces of wax off panel. Mix up some soapy water, I used washing up liquid. Wet the area of the car you are applying to. Get someone to hold one end of the transfer, you hold the end first being applied. The soapy water enables you to slide it around to get position correct before it sticks. Once in place, hold the end you are going to start with, so as it don't move. Use a credit card or new filler spreader, rubbers good, make sure no sharp edges and squegy the water towards the end of the transfer. It's really easy, but take your time with it. Go over the squegy process several times, the first time is the worst because you have to be careful not to crease it and to get any bubbles out. That's how proffessionals do it.

I would advise you to use the soapy water method, most body shops use it. Where do you live, if close to Kent, bring it round and i'll do it for you.
