i need sizes and relevant info colours etc on the above, have a place near me that seems confident they can produce good replicas so any help would be handy once i get a sample i need advice on whether they are ok or need tweaking then if all works out then hopefully they can be offered for sale on WC site or direct from company what ever suits maybe a group buy if enough interest
ideally samples would be a great help but historically i think this maybe a problem as people have lent decals out and not had them returned so can anyone tell me what decals are still available from renault :) :)

onto my local renault dealer to find out for definite, are the decals on the rear quarters different in size to the tailgate one ?, should the decals be infilled with blue or not or do they just use the body colour ?

boot is smaller than wing, backin paper has alignment marks too, willy 2s and 3s have blue infils to their respective body colour

understand the whole issue would you consider scanning what u have and emailing the images?, if not would really appreciate as much dimensional info off the ones u have so i can compare what measurements i have with your genuine ones at least then i could work out what if any differences there are as i am not certain if the ones i have are original renault

also anyone need absolute confirmation on which of the decals should be infilled with car colour seems that williams 2 and 3 are infilled 449 and 432 respectively what about the decals for the williams?

unable to scan as that woul prob destroy the decal if you peel the decal off off of its backing paper, it peels front face first revelaing the back of the decal which is all gold, so another thing to bare in mind is that its blue on top of a gold background.


Wing Decal Info So far
Gold edge is approx 2mm wide all over, its a smidge under that where the 'a' come up against the 2nd 'i'

The decal is 160mm in length and 35mm high from the 'W' to the 'I', from the top left of the 'W' to the top right of the 2nd 'i' is 69mm approx, leaving 91mm for the 'ams' and the height of this section is approx 28mm

my opinion is that each decal needs drawing seperately until spot on. If you take a logo from online and make it fit into the above dimensions its miles off, also worth considering is the difference in widths of the lettering the first upright of the letter W looks like its 12mmx35mm whereas in fact the width at the bottom is less than the top making drawing difficult

Boot sticker:

These dimensions were determined by me before making these copies. I measured them on my car.

I hope this can help you.
