yeh, no problem. Ill have to get in contact with m0rk, as its kinda advertising but im sure it will be ok. It will be after xmas now when i get my wheels done. They should be pretty much exactly the same as im going to use my spare as a template.

Ill speak to my boss about price as he would be making them and supplying the vynil.

Yeah the guy i bought my R from did the same kept the spare unpainted so he could get some1 to make up some vinyals but they ended up making a mess of the decals....was meaning to try my local sign makers to see if they could do any better but not got round to it yet but if you get a good price give us a shout ;)

Neale, you bought that car off my best mate, myn looks exactly the same. Very nice car!

Regarding the decals...i have the template, and i emailed a few companies to get some quotes, it was soooo expensive!!!

I even took my spare wheel to 2 local sign shops to get them to match the graphics, they both claimed they could produce near exact matches using there computers/machinery etc...

However, what they produced was shockingly poor! Font was different, spacing different, everything about it was wrong.

So best of luck!!

It was £2.50 for each decal basically. I wanted to keep the original text with the wheels hence, why I had the whole lot done.

The measurements were about 90% accurate. 2 hours for me on a saturday cutting them and getting them to fit perfect. Was quite happy with the results considering.

They guy that made mine up went by a picture I sent him, considering he never saw my car in the flesh I thought he did a great job

If we cant get a a decent decal from my spare ill proberly be using your template dan as it wasnt far off, Once mine are done i reckon that it would be in the region of £25 for a complete set plus P+P. I will confirm this as soon as the ball is rolling.

Yeh, there well nice cars!

I almost bought Ed's car just because its got a few less miles than mine. But being as its pretty much exactly the same, it wasn't worth the hassle.

I bought my HID's off here, a bloke had 2 sets so they were still brand new in the packaging.

I got the 6000k set, there the right 'blueness' in my opinion, anything more looks to blue plus 6000k is the legal limit i think?!

You sorted the plates out yet?

Get the 6000k, they make such a difference, they improve visibility, but the biggest difference is how they appear to other drivers...looks well smart.

Haha Ed said you wanted baby front plate, i got pulled today for myn, gotta produce me documents.

Yeh it seems all onvi yellow Ibiza Cupra's suffer from sun fade, do a search on here, there's quite a few people asked about it. My spoiler/bonnet looks the worst.
Only solution is a respray unfortunately. Or just live with it like i am.
