Awesome! Let’s design a **sticker theme** for your white Nissan 1400 bakkie using Temu-style decals. I’ll break it down into **3 steps** (with visual mockup ideas you can DIY).
---
### **1. Choose a Theme**
Since it’s a street truck, pick one of these styles:
- **Retro Racer**: Vintage stripes + fake "oil sponsor" logos.
- **JDM Street**: Japanese text + minimalist geometric decals.
- **Mad Max**: Distressed/worn stickers + faux battle damage.
- **Monochrome Stormtrooper**: Black/gray decals only (sleek and aggressive).
**Recommendation**: *Retro Racer* (works best with white paint).
---
### **2. Sticker Placement Plan**
**A. Hood/Bonnet**
- **2x Racing Stripes** (black or red, 10cm wide) running front-to-back.
- Add small "NOS" or "Turbo" decals near the edges (ironic or serious, your choice).
**B. Doors/Sides**
- **Classic "NISSAN 1400" lettering** in vintage font (like the Champ model).
- **Faux fuel cap decal** (round sticker with "Unleaded Fuel Only" text).
**C. Tailgate**
- Large **checkerboard pattern** (black/white) at the bottom.
- **"Danger: Keep Distance"** in bold red letters at the top.
**D. Wheel Arches**
- **"4x4" or "Off-Road" decals** (even if it’s 2WD—for humor).
---
### **3. Temu Sticker Shopping List**
Search these keywords on Temu/AliExpress:
- **"Black racing stripe decal"** (pre-cut, 10cm x 2m roll).
- **"Vintage car sponsor stickers"** (e.g., "Mobil 1," "Castrol").
- **"Japanese car decals"** (for fake JDM text like *"Gurasu-Go"*).
- **"Checkerboard vinyl sheet"** (cut to fit tailgate).
**Budget**: ~$20-$50 total.
---
### **4. DIY Application Guide**
1. **Clean the surface** with rubbing alcohol (no wax residue!).
2. **Use soapy water** for large decals—helps reposition before drying.
3. **Start with stripes** (hood first), then add side/tailgate decals.
4. **Seal edges** with a hairdryer to prevent peeling.
---
### **5. Bonus Touches**
- Paint **wheel rims matte black** to match the decals.
- Add a **fake bullet hole sticker** on the fender (for "Mad Max" vibe).
- Install **amber fog lights** (cheap, $15 on Temu) to complete the look.

### **Mockup Example**
```
[WHITE NISSAN 1400]
Hood: ||=========|| (black stripes)
Doors: | NISSAN 1400 | + "Mobil 1" decal
Tailgate: [⚪⚫⚪⚫] (checkers) + "DANGER" text
```
**Result**: A head-turning street truck for under $50!
