Coincidentally our club, Delta Sierra Alfa Romeo Club, has had Bondo checkers 
(nee fridge magnets) for sale for a year or two. We discovered this use 
accidentally when we tossed one on the nose of the Spider belonging to the 
President (and also my own Duetto's nose) that the magnet slid right off the 
slope. OOPS! Magnets featuring our club's logo are available for $3 plus 
shipping. Contact me for exact info. The club logo is available for viewing
