Managed to get hold of some 'williams 2' decals off ebay, theres pretty good quality being as tho they didnt cost me much atall.
If any one on here could do some measuring around the rear quarter decals so i can replace them in the right position that would be a great help, cheers guys

Hi mate, dont suppose you have an ebay link for the stickers have you?

I have emailed a few people but couldn't do the willy 2 for some reasons.

Thanks

Are these actually the proper size now?
Ie they are longer than the Renault badge on the boot.

Good question actually, what are the decal sizes?

Thanks for the link mate.

Is it me or does the 'm' look too spaced out? I don't remember seeing the 'm' arches having that much space between them.

They look like these, only with the blue infill:

Every ebay replica I've ever seen has been shit - they also all have a strange addiction to making the 'A' centre way way too big.

MatrixGuy
22-01-2009, 15:40
Yeah, there not so good.

The W is wrong angle and size, the 'o' in the a is wrong size & dimension and the arches in the 'M' areo far apart.

The only bit that looks ok is the number, lol.

dickies_willy2
23-01-2009, 15:28
Just gave the williams a good clean and polish, tried the decals from ebay... the size im not too bothered about but the colour.... O NO!!! so they came straight off again :(
Im trying to the my car back to its former glory so if anyone has got willy 2 decals or knows where to get them thats all i realy need.
cheers again

23-01-2009, 15:42
if someone buys my car I'll have some genuine ones for sale for the back - thats the most important ones!

dickies_willy2
23-01-2009, 17:53
Can u still get genuine willy2 decals?
I rang up and they said that they only have wiily 3 in stock?!??!

Daz.
23-01-2009, 18:31
no not anymore, well at last check last month you could get the williams but not the numbers..

24-01-2009, 09:48
theres a bloke in st annes who "traces" decals then makes copies.

he has done mine twice now. i'd say next best thing to the originals. im certainly happy with how they have come out.

Just priced up full set of Decals for Wolfie's willy 3. Kin Hell!!!!!!!!! Only £115 and thats trade!!

He really wants it to look the biz and will put copies on if ok, so..........does anyone know where some good copies can be bought for a little less :shock: than from dealer? Or................has anyone got the original sizing, colouring etc on a pdf/ file, as I have a guy who has made decals for me in the past and he does them identical to the original in every way, then I weill distribute them at cost to all members on here! Does that sound a good idea??

Cheers Chaps

titcharoony is getting some proper replicas(using my brand new original oem set i have) done as we speak! he should be making a post any day now

Wolfie
16-02-2009, 19:46
What's titcharooney's intention regd rolling out for other needy willy owners?

Kneesparks - Regd your arches, if you don't mind travelling, it might be worthwhile contacting my mate simonciodimma. He has just done my arch and its the works plus he is very competitive too!!. He has his own bodyshop and replaced by cutting out the whole arch using a new clio arch t make good with no rust and minimal filler. When my willy 3 is all done I'll post pics but if you need photos (before/ after) pm him and im sure he'll oblige.

Cheers

Heeee why not :lol:

I did quite a few sets of these in the past with happy results - not the ones you thought were too small though - I wasn't a fan of those either so I had them re-done and was much happier... I stopped doing it a while ago though....


titcharoony quotes


12 March 2008

"im just gona get sum decals made up myself. cant be that hard."


07 May 2008

"to put this to bed once and for all, i reckon I can get as close to original size and colour as you'd need. I dont finish uni for about a month n a bit, and am busy with work fo' northy n obv uni work till then. after that Ill get on the case."


14 July 2008

"dont worry guys! Im on the case for getting some top notch replicas! i now have a set of original williams + 2 + 3. these should be done in a month."


07 October 2008

"im gona get a rollicking for this co ive been doing them for ages. but guys and gals i AM on the case - worst case scenario, ur looking at 2 months"


02 November 2008

"i am currently in the process of creating all stickers needed for the club. Smile not long now folks!"


24 January 2009

"forgot to update you all on my progress with decals, paid up in full day, next week shud be decal week. yay"


So remind me again when they'll be ready for?

Oh and I did them for a fiver ish to cover costs not the £20 plus you quoted.

I must admit I've enjoyed our banter on this subject! :lol:

im in comms now for final proof being sent through within 7 days, regardless of quality ill upload pics of them. Daz you dont really know what you're talking about, so im not prepared to discuss design with you. Your £5 jobbies werent that dissimilar to the ebay comedy efforts. Off on size, and a seperate blue and gold (both off on colour, and no mettalic finish). Im talking laser printing, with metallic finish, at proper sizes. Not being funny mate, but not prepped to banter with you anymore. It's like being at school. If you've something you want to say, just pop it in a pm and dont clog the forum with your dissing. Matter closed.

Wolfie
17-02-2009, 11:51
Hey guys, neither simoncliodimma nor myself meant to stir up a hornets nest! Just want to resolve my decal prob and help sort future ones for members if poss!

I'll wait a couple of weeks until you have something titcherooney, as not essential at the mo. However if no joy I'll ask my mate (simoncliodimma) to order from Renault, copy and send back saying customer didn't want em! Sneaky......... ye!, but Renault should not exploit us asking stupid money for a bit of plastic.

MatrixGuy
17-02-2009, 13:53
PMSL! @ Daz, that was funny, but glad to hear there nearly ready titchy mate :)

Looking forward to the pics

Purple
17-02-2009, 14:12
I posted up this high resolution shot of the of the original sticker some time ago. The blue base colour is tricky, as its very dark and has tiny metallic flakes that only shows up in high res. Dourdin were the original printers of the sticker for Renault.

Purple
17-02-2009, 14:15
Whereas this copied sticker blue is quite far off.

Good luck!

titcharoony
17-02-2009, 14:28
on saturday im going over to visit my mate who's printing them. incidentally, i emailed dourdin (difficult to do i assure u!) and they insist there was no difference between willy 2n 3 stickers on infill. or rather, that its highly unlikely. weird eh?

Daz.
17-02-2009, 15:30

Wife to be infact - she loves me - and my decals...

:lol:

And Dourdin are WRONG or your french to english sucks.

Did you read my reply to numb skull the ones you saw we're all thrown aout - nobody saw them apart from you and me...

And if a mod would be prepared to go through all the kind responses my threads have had from you I believe it would be you first in detention earning a deserved whipping young man!

The facts still stand your all talk right now - I'll happily eat my words when I see some sat on someones car.

Wolfie
17-02-2009, 19:55
Purple - Yes the copy you showed has nothing like the pearls as in the original. To get an exact copy I think the same paint as car will have to be used. Ill enquire.

Thanks

Wolfie
26-03-2009, 23:29
Apparently the guy who is printing said decals has been burgled/ or moved premises (can't remember which!!) and will sort the decals as first job. Bet he has gone bust as this was a few weeks ago!! Reckon i'll get a set and get them copied as this is running on a tad, alternatively contact T'rooney for details. Ha hum! said the wild goose chaser to the rouge herring.

I cant see the point in these. They are trying to get the impression of purlescent 449 behind the gold egding the same as the paint?

So why not just fit the williams 1 outline stickers and actually HAVE the blue purlescent 449 paint behind the gold?

If i had a williams 2 or 3 in good condition i would fit nothing but the renault originals. Its only the willy 1 owners that have the dilema of not having a genuine renault sticker to buy.

These stickers are already available on ebay for as little as 3 pounds and are perfect copies.

Daz.
21-05-2009, 19:07
eBay stickers are very poor, its only until you have them in hand you realise how poo they are!

I had brand new genuine decals on mine the day out of the body shop and 3 weeks later had to rip them off to get the blemished fixed.

After putting williams 2 outlines on I can honestly say only up close and licking the bloody car you could see the difference

you cannot get the Willy 1 outline orginals anymore from Renault - they come already infilled in 449 blue. You can still get hold of the full Willy 3 set too, the ones you can't get any more ore the "2"'s from the Willy 2.

I dont see the problem with the ebay ones. Some are shite, some are actually quite good. They are just gold stickers in gold vinyl. For £5 a set i would just fit these.

I think sometimes this club over complicates simple processes.

You maybe right, ive some they dont seem to bad...anyway,,,,titch rang the guy doing these decals has fled (with some of titchs money and proofs etc) Titch appologises for not contacting people but he is attempting to put things right,

and will contact the club shortly . In the meantime ive got to pm Paul

yes completely agree this site has a mass of advice and data which is specific and unavailable elsewhere without it i for one would have been stuck on a number of issues whilst i can see your frustration at the events re the decals this is not really an issue for the members to receive the backlash for but im sure everyone would support your actions at tryin to sort a major prob, no decals decent enough to put on your cherished vehicle

so just to add in conclusion you and all mods do a cracking job and although sometimes not apparent all your efforts im sure are appreciated

I've spent over £60 on travelling, posting stuff and all for nothing as the first ones I got made were rubbish - only good ones I got were the outline ones and everyone pulled their face - even though people have acknowedged them as the only decent reps they've seen.

2 pictures - tell me which one is the non standard decals?

Ive had ebay reps on 0200, 314 and 0020 for years and we measured them against originals and they are about 1 mm out and from a meter away are impossible to distinguish.
