The V

Krabby · Jun 26, 2023

Honestly-I’m thinking a wrap shop might have some scraps. The letters are not large at all and if you’re only doing the ^ were talking square inches of material.

If your wheels are 17 alloys...this is in my quiver which I posted in the early days and yes tossing up with a black A on the Scottish White Bonnet...

Once I get my hands on the dimensions I was going to do a run of these stickers. I'm surprised they aren't a factory option personally.

This was mentioned by my dealer when I visited last week. He said he thought it was odd they didn't come from the factory with the red V

I wonder if the Greek gods are upset no one is calling it lambda??

bigleonski · Jun 26, 2023

The only concern I have with a sticker ordered off the net is how does it mould into the indentations properly to fill the whole lambda symbol without creases or folds in the tape?

I was planning on getting a paint shop to colour it before I had the ceramic coating done. A sticker would be easier, just not sure if it would look as good.
Thoughts? Or is it me over thinking things as usual?

Oh, and on SW, red, definitely red.

You can buy sample pieces from a online car vinyl wrap store like.metrostyling. it should fit and cost 2 dollars. You use a heat gun to make it fit in the indent and painter tape to make a outline so the vinyl doesn't stick where you don't want it to. Plus you use a exact knife to trim the edges, the painter tape protects the paint.

I have a sign writer just across the road at work, I'll get him to make them up, if they look good I'll get him to do a batch of them for those that want some.

Ignition are using a wrap

The company that Ineos has used for the wrapping of the Hard Way Home, All Blacks & Tottenham vehicles is looking to make these up.

Details & costs should be available next week.

I can totally see how different colour Vs can be used to display virtues and support. Yellow for the Troops (or Cavalry in my case), light blue for men‘s health, rainbow for unicorns and so on…

Would powder coating be a better and more durable finish?

I talked the folks that do the lettering of my company trucks and they said no problem plenty of scraps and would likely do it no charge!!

So it's taking a little longer to sort something out, and direct sales for small value items are hampered by a minimum order value of £45 +VAT, but I've asked for a number of sets to come to me and I'm willing to pass on a number of them at cost plus P&P (at cost also).

Initially, I've just asked for the rear door lambda and the letters for the bonnet:

Cost for both is going to be £7.20 plus P&P.

PM me if you're interested.

P&P? Package and Posting? Abbreviations

I went for a little more of a subtle look with gloss black over satin.
