having done so many stickers and decals for other zoners, i thought it was about time i sorted out my own. my car came from a dealer called western counties and i thought i would never get an image of what the sticker would look like...in the dealer signage database though kedge came up with the goods...

Image

i started off by removing all the sytner stuff my car had on it. i had only put the sytner decals in just so i could get a pic to help me sell some, but they had been in there so long, my car was having an identity crisis!!!

Image
i debated about leaving the WLN one in there...but though what the heck, if i regret removing it, i can always reproduce another!
Image

i got to work designing a new sticker and decided that the decal should be gold instead of burgandy as burgandy just looks wrong. sounded simple enough, but my printer did no do gold! i used another chap who ordered it in especially to print this one...................

et voila!

Image

Image

...now for the tax disc holder....gold on white!
(a bit dark when i took the tax disc pic so the contrast is not very good, but looks much better in the flesh)

Image

i like the final effect which i think is quite classy with the gold and subtle at the same time.




**update** making the tax disc holder

i made quite a few enquiries about getting tax disc holders printed to bespoke designs and companies are happpy to do them....as long as you order a min of 500! so no good for this kind of work. i have tried a few diffferent methods of making this work, but the best way is to use a vinyl window sticker for the front to allow for maximum flexibility in design/colours etc, and then to attack a clear tax disc holder to the back as pictured below. the overall effect is the best this way but does involve alittle care in making it up.....anyone ordering tax disc holdres will get full instruction (it's pretty easy though!). here's the sytners one i prepared earlier

Image

i have the perfect design for a set of plates which is all that is left, but just need to find a quality numberplate maker.

We want pictures of the full view of the sport :)

Will you be able to produce a tax disc for the Leeds Reg Vardy BMW? I have the original sticker/number plates but don't have the Original tax disc holder :(

Top work BTW 8)

I'd really love a Quadrifoglio set as they were the supplying dealer of my car in May 1989! However, by July and it's running in inspection they'd changed to Scotthall Southampton!!! :roll: But I cannot find ANY Quadrifoglio branding examples anywhere! All I have to go on is the following:

I wouldn't need the rear window sticker as it's a convertible but I'd love the oblong white style that they used to stick on the inside of the bootlid and a taxdisc holder.

thanks for all the comments guys, glad you like some homo action.....

gazman - i dont have a pic of an MLG sticker but do have a pic of some plates, if you send me some scans of what you have to my email pukar_designs@aol.com then i can get something together for you

B7 - Quadrifoglio!!! what a name, that's awesome! gotta do it mate. i dont have any images as this sounds uber-rare but i have put together a rear window sticker (even though you dont actually need one) just as a start.

Image

BTW, what is this bootlid sticker you and ah are talking about as i dont know. can you post a pic. is it the service one with the big exclamation mark?

ah - i also have a plates logo but nothing else sadly, but this doesn't mean we cant design something

csl - so you got the cooper thames ditton rear window sticker in place...it is not an easy task sticking a 40cm sticker in so good job (pics!!)

lowey - no way bro, snap! did you remove your rear window sticker?

magpie - i have a chandlers rear window sticker image...pm sent

I know. They now sell french scrap!!! 8O

Hence I'd never put a scothalls sticker on the convertible.

I wonder why the "lost" the BMW franchise?

cheers trev! glad you like them, they came out really well...now let's figure out your tax disc holder...

haha! i wish i was a rich man ady but not really, the decals is a hobby really with a bit of "drink" money as a perk......

the "coconut hair" type mats you gave me are my winter ones whereas i have "carpet" ones for the summer...so my summer ones are really clean, but the others are still really great.

i've got all the details for the L&C ones, so just gimme a shout when you want them done and i'll sort it out for you...
