240 General: Original stickers replicas

[vlv240]

Thanks for your questions & advice

I'll response to your questions in order:

- The lifespan of the vinyl is 2-3 years if they are outside (in direct sunlight, rain...).
Most of the graphics are computer cut vinyl.

I can also laminate but for the stickers that need to be very precise (to mm), an exact outline, small ones I can't laminate, because it wouldn't be aligned properly after printing and laminating.

Anyway, I just gave an approximate price per sticker (a general one).

If there is anything you need just let me know (with photos and dimensions).

Cheers!

If someone has it intact and can provide me a photo and at least some of its dimensions or all of them, I would replicate it immediately and post a photo of it here, therefore, if some of you would be interested in I can make some right away.

That's all (4 2day)

Cheers

I can have a go measuring it later.

Oh, we can do better than that on the Volvo forum.

Here is a 300dpi scan of the sticker pulled off the bottle from a 1986 240 saloon.



PM me your address and I'll send it to you if you wish.

Many thanks for the photos & help Michael J
It's great it turned up so fast (with your help).
This is going to work well and fast I suppose.
I would be delighted to have that sticker.
Therefore, I already sent you a PM with my address.
Many thanks, once again

OK Cabrioman.
I have you in my mind (a pre-order).
I'll post here a photo of the graphic and the price as soon as I have it ready.
We can pass on PM after for the postage cost and other details (payment method...).

Great news!
The graphics for the coolant bottle (reservoir) sticker is perfect! (exactly as the original).
I can make laminated stickers (as the originals).
Price per piece (sticker) is 2 GBP.
Anyone interested in just PM me.

[Cabrioman]

Deal!
Just tell me via PM where to transfer the money!
Thx!

This is great. (You now have 5 gold stars on the thread!)

Can you make some stickers for my 164, if I can photograph good originals?

Thanks

John

@Cabrioman: OK.
@john h: Thanks for the rating! Of course. I need high res photos and all their dimensions (total length, total height, fonts height, frame's dimensions - where applicable, separation lines length and thickness) everything to make an accurate replica.
If you can't provide all dimensions (details) at least the total length & height are needed to make a good replica.

I think, priced with 2 GBP it made no sense sending the stickes registered or insured. So sending by letter would be okay for me.

Sorry that I answer via thread and not by PM, but they don't let me until I have 30 posts.
