[hodadan]

If still possible I would also take a 2nd one as spare.

Coming in late....

I think all the spots are taken but if any drop off... or there is a second order I'd be in.

Ok - if I have a second spare but probably unlikely as I already have 2 members on the waiting list but all will be known in the next 2 weeks.

OK - no problems - you will be #5 on the wait list.

I have not yet received them yet, probably next week and then I will request those that nominted for a set to confirm and pay.

Thanks to @grenadierboy for the group buy. Looks like he secured a good price.

I used my local sign shop. They do vinyl vehicle signage, PPF, etc. For A$85 fitted I got the rear door and bonnet done plus some clear PPF applied to the raised area of the rear door to protect it from boot scuffs when climbing on the ladder. Cost me more than the group price, but the installation was done by them and I got the clear panel also. Look close at the pic. A very neat job.
So if you missed out on this group buy don't abandon your local shop. They will appreciate your business.

Out of curiosity @grenadierboy are the decals you ordered cut to only sit in the flat area as per the ones @Clark Kent got in the pic, or made to rise up the edge as well??

 

[grenadierboy]

They will look like this (I don't have them yet)

 

[grenadierboy]

I think they lie pretty flat, maybe a 0.5/1.0mm coming up the side

I received the 25 sets of V's from the UK today on ORACAL Premium Wrapping Cast 970.

I didn't receive any application instructions but here is a link to the ORACAL websit for vehicle wrapping: https://www.orafol.com/products/europe/en/application-instructions/Information_CarWrapping_EN.pdf

After preping the paint, the ORACAL 970 Rapid Air Cast is not a wet application.

Cost:
The purchase cost per set (1 large & 1 small) is $17.50 plus postage distribution within Australia, if all 25 sets are taken. (there are 6 forum members waiting on standby, so I will assume all will be sold).

Local post office advised the best postage to protect the vinyl letters was a Rigid style envelope ($1.79) plus postage to anywhere in Australia ($2.40); thus $4.19 in total. (This is without tracking; tracking is another $8.20).

Thus total cost is, say, $22 each set.

Can the Forum members who have indicated they want a set please send me an email (mark.evans8@icloud.com) ASAP to confirm yes or no and if yes, with your postal address and I will send back my bank account details for payment.

cheers

I took my Grenadier to Signarama in Melbourne today to investigate & price up lettering for the V's.

They do high quality vinyl wrap, including signage of all shapes & sizes, for trucks/automobiles/motorbikes etc.

Spoke to owner about creating a large & small V for our cars in auto vinyl in red. He said it would "easily last 5 years".

He looked at the Grenadier and took some initial measurements (but would need to perform more accurate measurements to produce the lettering).

So - is there interest in a GROUP BUY. I am happy to organise & post out.

He offered to produce 10 sets (1 x large & 1 x small V) for $600 but said if we want more then his price will be lower per letter set.

Signarama just came back with a written quote and confirmed that for $600 we get 20 sets, with each set containing 1 x big & 1 x small V.

That is $30 per set (plus postage) if get 20 forum members.

Maybe the lettering can be obtained cheaper but this is the first vendor I have seen (based on the post by Acrah yesterday.

I forgot to ask him whether different colours could be included in the initial batch quote but I assume so.

UPDATE:
Thanks to DCPU I have been in touch with Ultimate Automotive in the UK (who do Wraps/PPF/Lettering/Graphics, including for INEOS). UA has already done a set of V's for a group buy.

They are sending me a quote for 20 sets & it should be a little cheaper than $30 a set, even taking into accounting postage from the UK.

Let me know if you want to particpate by indicating/commenting below.

cheers

I’d absolutely be interested. Atlanta, GA, USA here.

Then organise a USA Group buy! A UK and Australian one have already occurred.

Well, I would however we have no actual owners in the USA yet. Other parts of the world have had their Grenadiers for years.

Demand would be exceptionally low until deliveries start in mid 2024. I thought ordering and having the items sent out via post from others who already have put in the research would be a more efficient than re-inventing the wheel for interested US buyers.

Hi SEUSA Mark, I'm in for anyone in the USA putting a full lettering kit together. DaBull

 

[Ex-defender driver]

I think so (maybe a RAL colour) but DCPU asked Ultimate Automotive (who do the wraps etc for INEOS) to match the red when he did the UK group buy a few months ago.

I will put you down for 1 set??

Please put me down for one set. Don’t have my car as yet but should be soon and was hoping to add red decals so this is just perfect.

Thanks in advance
