The Chap you are on about on the MK1 OC were copies of origionals.
Unfortunately he left the Club otherwise I would of got some from him.
As far as I know there are no Origionals left out there, based on the numbers produced for the UK Market.
Only 500 odd. Although bigger numbers for the same model car badged as the classic line in Europe and the USA.
Mine are reproduced from photographs taken from an Origional from a Bloke in Scotland, who's car is ridiculously mint.
He even traced around the Outline for me too.

How much for a set of the rivage stickers ? Seen them on eBay at£25.00 but that's a bit steep.

I suppose it's a question of how you want your car to look, as close as to Original factory issue or not.

These aren't for everyone as one of the previous posters said it never botherd him not having any on.

There are some rubbish ones floating about at a similar price, as I have some on my Rivage, so they are going.

Great if you want a game of mini chess lol.



It's very personal as to what people value things at.

How much do you value your work as a painter? Some may say what your firm quote as steep?

So therefore wouldn't use the firm you work for.

But then you would have to say, well there is the prep work and materials and the time to do the job etc.

It's all subjective at the end of the day, I value the stuff I do because I know what it has cost me to do the artwork and the printing and the set up costs at the graphics company and the Vynil and the packaging and the postal costs.

It all mounts up and yes it's tricky to comapre a re spray to some decals monetary wise, but the principal is the same.

So £12.50 a side doesn't seem that steep to me.

These are spot on and it took a lot of effort from a few people, taking pics and other things to get them correct.

I have now sold out on E Bay and Members on here and the MK1 OC have reserved the rest that are coming in next week.

Cheers

Chalky

Alright mate the only reson I asked about the price is because I'm as tight as a mouses ear! I didn't know if you did a discount for members on here or mk1oc.
Cheers,Mark.
