This Vauxhall Vectra is having its police livery applied for the first time. All of the pieces are numbered and their position determined by the blueprint shown. Graphics specialists RVG are showing two subtly different materials for the rear chevrons.
A wider look at the car showing that the livery is work in progress.
On the side of the car, the pieces are tacked in place before being more permanently attached. The back peels off the coloured panels and they are then carefully returned to their space. Air bubbles are squeezed out using a credit-card style tool.

FJ10 OJC A Ford S-Max dog unit that is operated by Sussex Police.
The rear view, showing the clear ‘air conditioned’ wording. This is because the police dog handler may be dealing with an incident that does not require the dogs. The dogs may be left in the car for quite some time unattended. The engine can be left running to power the air conditioning using the runlock system. If anyone attempts to drive the vehicle off, the engine will cut out immediately.
