Looking good!!

Did you just give the design to a sign writing company? I was thinking of doing this as opposed to some nice carbon ones (think it maybe a wee bit more affordable)

They look great, but trust me they won't be big enough. You'll be surprised how far up the rear wings the stone chips get and how much of a battering the lower edge of the wing suffers.

sorry

Hi Ray,

Sorry for the questioning!!

Do you have a plotter then? are they easy to fit I recall talking to a sign writer who suggested spraying the pannel with some sort of fairy liquid solution positioning the stickers then letting it dry

I am considering a 2 tone blue/black conbination for mine dont know how practical this is yet though

That is my experience too. Ive fitted Carbon look abs plastic protectors to mine, slightly larger than those vinyls and the arches are still taking a battering. On one wing i have some vinyl graphics and they are well peppered after a few 000 miles. Even wher the vinyl is double some stones have damaged right through. May be geographical as the roads round my way arent great but it is concern. You can minimise the effect i believe by fitting mud flaps to the front wings - ive still got this to do.

They do look great by the way, and i guess if they get damaged you just make some new ones.
