Hi everyone, I'm spending the summer touring Europe and have seen that I'll need Green zone stickers. From what I can tell though there is a different one in each country? Can you get them in shops outside the green zones or should I get them delivered before I leave? I don't really want to...

I have moved to Sweden and taken my 2012 T5 with me. To register it over here I need to make some changes to the lights.
