Go faster stripes
« on: June 16, 2009, 07:35:18 PM »
Hey guys.
My little BIS ha flown through it's MOT today. Well I say flown through what I mean is it only failed on a headlight bulb. :)
As a result of this I have a little spare cash for tidying it up a bit. I've already got a set of spotlights on order and am on a promise for a set of minilites.

But I really want the stripe decal seen on a few 126s.
Same as this one but I want it in black.





Are these still available here in the UK or will I have to order out? Can I even buy them or will I have to find somewhere to get them made up?


I did search but all the threads of promise seem to die out without a proper solution. :(

I would be willing to bet that these were sprayed on. Paint jobs are very cheap in PL. My back to metal job on my camper van was only £400 including seam rust and the paint.

Come on masking tape and a rattle can 8)

I would actually be more than willing to give that ago.

But figure it might be best to see if there is any pre cut stickers out there.

i think the one in the picture has a stick on vynil, you can tell on the bonnet cos it wasnt positioned perfectly, if it were painted it would cover the end of the bonnet...  [-/

id do it the old fashined way, some self adhesive black vynil, cut and stick  :P

go to any automotive vinyl sticker company and they will measure and knock these out for you you could prepare a paper template to make it cheaper if you wish .
