Hi All,

Having re-sprayed what's now my 1990 Racing Green, the previous owner
used crappy non-original decals which are starting to get on my nerves
- the "Racing" bit is in some script font, and the "Green"
checkerboard, although passable, is obviously not right.

I've tried eBay and various other sources on t'Interweb, but can't find
a set of genuine or ready made copies anywhere. Has anyone got any
recommendations as to a good source of either originals or good,
accurate, copies?

Cheers,
Colin

Have you tried either :

or

http://www.idlegear.co.uk/

I've had stuff from both and they are great :)

Hey calm down mush.. it's not like he's abusing your granny!!

They guy's doing us a favour by printing stuff we can't get any more, and
making himself a living in the process.

Why don't you not channel your "negative" energy towards the pikey gits who
are on the dole and fiddling... now there's a worthy cause to be ranting
about...

Thanks for the replies.
Idlegear doesn't specifically list what I need, but I may give him a
call. Somerford does list the decals, but I'll have to see about the
second mortgage before ordering a full set!!

Cheers,
Colin

Hello Martin F

kev beck here or as you like to call me " that complete w@nker from stoke.....
.

whats the problem M8?

why the anger??

have I upset you in any way, past life or present?

or perhaps are you jealous for some reason?

Do enlighten me, please.

just for the record.

BMW got in touch many years ago, we we`re licensed for certain products, and
in their words we were told we could carry on with others. A few items we
were told to change the wording and 1 item we were told we couldn`t do.

and we are still trading.....each year we grow bigger and better. a few
people have tried to copy what we do, but soon fall by the way side.

Look out for us next year as we are pushing for GLOBAL domination
:-0

yours Kev
