I can sense a group buy :)
Title: Re: Had my car ' fast'd with a vinyl
Post by: bling on 30 April 2008, 19:01
i had a local sign maker do them for me. coz i had the first ones made they cost me alot but as the guy has the dsgin now he will do them cheaper. i think he said £12 quid posted.
if there is going to be alot of people interested then he might do a deal for a group buy.

hmm, does £12 sound high ?, we pay something like £2 for our vinyl logos

Top Idea, I vote for that!

Get on it "fast" before someome else nabs the idea. Excuse the pun. :smiley:

I'd buy them, and why should we miss out on the FAST commercials and merchandise that the Americans get for free when buying a GTI?

i think it would be better if you had someone else make them then because i know the guy wont do them cheap unless he gets an order for something like 20.
i paid 15 quid for mine as the only other place that sell them is ebay in the US and after browsing on the MKV forum so many members had mentioned that they had not recieved they vinyls so that was a big NO NO!

Morning! I was venturing over here from the Mk4 section and saw this post..

Thought I'd give it a go...

(http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/849/01052008246hg6.jpg)

Would be able to do them in most colour combinations, any size and either like that one or reversed for the inside of a window.
Price would be about £5 each + 50p p&p

If enough are interested, I'll get a batch run off!

Steve

oh.. and mine has a tail unlike the other one!!  :grin:

Nice one! but how is this cheaper than the price i can get them for? i mean 50p is that all the saving you can give? £12 for 2 fast + 1 rabbit against your 1 Fast for $5.50 delievered and you don't even give the rabbit for the tailgate!
P.S
The tails missing for a reason, but i will let you work that one out! :rolleyes:

GTTDI

where abouts are you in Teesside?
Im in Stockton  :smiley:

I'd be interested in having the "GTI" you shown above so i can put it on the steel strip above the glove compartment (so its needs to be small).

And i would be interested in the "fast" creature you shown above so i can put it near my rear GTI badge on the boot (something like 3cm x 3cm)
and another 2x 2cm x 2cm

hi maxamus

im in stockton too, norton

could do those for you mate, only problem might be the fast creature, the mouth part is already very thin at the 9x9cm size, may just have to modify it a bit...

Gttdi,

I want something exactly like this so its in relation to the size of the rear "GTI" badge. This is the type of scale i would like because i am going to put it next to the rear badge as shown in the illustration.

(http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/7530/gtilogoue6.png)


I dont know what height the GTI lettering is though on the boot (can someone check?). I think theres a standard text height that VW use for all Golf rear badges.

1x Colour = White and Red mouth (as shown)
1x Colour = A Very Dark Grey (almost a matt/dull black) and Red mouth
1x Colour = Black with Red Mouth

Maxamus, on a die cut type badge those thin lines would not last past the first wash imo
Title: Re: Had my car ' fast'd with a vinyl

Yes but if the FAST was any bigger then it would look too big and i dont want it to be over-powering over the rear GTI badge

Title: Re: Had my car ' fast'd with a vinyl
Post by: maxamus on 01 May 2008, 21:01
Im sure it would work in die cut. Just means when it comes to washing - more care will be needed around that area
What would be even better is if it was a proper badge made from steel that we stick on  :cool:
Now theres an idea worth persuing.....

well yes, you would not be able to go anywhere near it, which could making washing impossible near your badge

this vinyl does stick pretty well once the surface has been prepped properly with degreaser and take a bit of getting off

Im sure it would work in die cut. Just means when it comes to washing - more care will be needed around that area
What would be even better is if it was a proper badge made from steel that we stick on  :cool:

well yes, you would not be able to go anywhere near it, which could making washing impossible near your badge

this vinyl does stick pretty well once the surface has been prepped properly with degreaser and take a bit of getting off

in that case im quite happy to try a black one with red mouth :-)

I had a Nurburgring sticker that lasted 18 months of washes without a problem, including the Nurburgring wording very small single letters.
Once waxxed over it was ok, and a bugger to get off when i sold the car.

gttdi, I'd probably be interested in a rear sticker to go over the GTI badge too. What do we think colour wise would look best on a black car?

Cheers

I think they look pretty cool too and would like one, but I have already paid for mine now!
I think it has to be white and red on a black car!

a dark grey (almost a dull black) with a red smile would look ok too on a black car.

Like this you mean:

My parents run a sign company so had a play this afternoon - picture doesn't really do it justice with the reflections in the photo.  Its done in metallic graphite grey vinyl with the red smile - I'd say this is pretty much a minimum size it could be done, the smile is like a hair - You would have to thicken up the lines to go any smaller. 

What do you think?

Looks good mate. However, on the pic the grey looks as if it has a grainey affect going on. I think white will look better after all on a black car. And i'd probably scale it up by 0.2 aswell.

How about a black creature with a grey mouth, not sure if the red mouth would show on the red car? Either way they do look good.

Had a pair of these on my car since I got it a year ago this week.   Got them from an American supplier on ebay for $3.00

To be honest, I'm getting a little tired of it as people keep asking why I have a picture of a Devil on the side of my car, then I tell them that it's not a Devil but a rabbit.  That's when the strange looks and comments of "riiiight" start.   Wait and see!
