These are pics after the excellent job my brother did with detailing the car. it was in a bit of a state with loads of swirl marks, light scratches and grubbyness. We spent a whole day doing the car so it looks the way it does. I plan on doing the same with the engine bay and underneath so that the whole car gleams the way it does now!
Right some pics there are different plates on but i have full square on the back and a normal on the front (as it looks best like that)
first problem: (spot the difference)
nice clean paint:
rear plate:
pics from round the back of a garden centre:

thanks to my brother for the clean paint etc from his obsessive compulsiveness to keep cars clean. (and the detailing angle grinder thing and various polishes and waxes....)
what you gonna do about the different decals then chap? can`t say i`ve ever come across any for sale, but i`m sure someone could make them up for you. Is the 2nd picture the original decal?
i prefer the 1st one. thats the original one. it got resprayed i dont know what to do with it yet. i think i might have to source a pair of them, as i think the car is due a respray/touch up to get it all right. the passenger side has had a spray done due to a vandal but i think the filler has shrunk and messed it up.
i can make them stickers for you no problem at all.. just tell me which one of the two you want, and i'll email you a file to take to any sign writing/van signs shop etc and they will cut them.. also in any colour ou want them too so could be nice to have a bit of a custom one, black would be nice..
yes, basically, it has be drawn as a vector based image (so it can be stretched or shrunk and not lose any quality)
So i will draw it like that, and save it as a EPS file and they will be able to read that and its already made for their machine.. u usually get a discount if you provide the artwork aswell.
stug at junction 4 on the ringroad, heading down the london road to the A46 there is a really good sign wrighters on the left there next to the massive fishing shop and chinese restaurant (after elliots that is on the corner), if thats any help?!?
cool. i might see if my mates still doing the vinyl sign writing thing and see what they do. they do banners and other stuff but i might get a discount!
yeh any vinyl cutting sign writers will be fine.. failing that, i can even get them cut and post them to you if you cover the costs..I know my guy makes great quality ones..
i also plan on cleaning up the engine bay properly. as in removing bits to get to the paint behind and painting rusty brackets etc. i think if i can do that 1st then get onto the list.
found the springs i want.
