Alloys Other Type R wheel cap - Page 2

Yes the sticker will do its job fine! It will look exactly as the cap of the Type R if it will be covered up good with the appropriate tolerance.
If can manage to get them finally!

I've done centre-caps for vauxhalls before. They seemed to be alright. I can do just the red logo if your original cap is silver blank or I can cut the 68mm silver circle and put the red h on top of it like this.....

MakTheo · 4th March 2008, 20:56

The original is silver, so we need only the red H and the red outline as the image you show

FWH · 4th March 2008, 20:57

Probably much easier to fit if it is all in one with the silver background.

Yes I agree that it will be easier, but will the silver of the sticker match with the rest colour of the wheel. I mean, it might be darker or lighter.

Conrad'67 · 4th March 2008, 21:05

It would probably be less shiny or darker. I could take a photo of mine and scale the red h so it would be exactly the same size plus a smidgen more to cover up the black H if that's what is required.

Yeah...Thats the way to do it..

MakTheo · 5th March 2008, 16:13

So Conrad, i can't wait to make some of these and put them on Ebay for sale!

I will buy some of these!

I 've seen your homepage, and your ebay space.

Conrad'67 · 5th March 2008, 16:59

MakTheo,
If you want to go with the red 'H' stickers then I can do this. It will take me a little time as I will have to retrace the logo from a photo of the centre cap and then do several cuts to get the sizing correct. I will give this a try tonight.

MakTheo · 5th March 2008, 17:10

Ok. define the price also

Conrad.. Have you tried downloading EPS Logos from Best Brands Of The World..Its the easiest way to do this,the red H logo is on there I got it today.

Conrad'67 · 5th March 2008, 19:25

Gers,
Thanks for the tip. I was unaware there was a website with eps files on it. I'll take a look. I have the 'H' as a vector but I overlayed it onto a picture I took of the centre cap and they are slightly different. I will probably have to trace it out manually. I'll post my results upon completion. I would probably sell these for about £1 each + small P+P cost. Will have to see how long they take to produce though.

gers · 8th March 2008, 17:55

Had a go at this today, I diddnt have any deeper Red Vinyl, just used this to give me an idea of the size...Looks O.K......

MakTheo · 9th March 2008, 11:50

So Conrad'67, will you produce them? Have you done your tests for the right size etc?

Conrad'67 · 9th March 2008, 15:15

I couldn't get the centre cap off the wheel. I guess I would have to take the wheel off. I did it anyway and the sizing came up short so would need a few more attempts to get it right. If gers has got them maybe he could give you a set? If not i'll just keep trying.

MakTheo · 11th March 2008, 21:01

So Gers, the photo above is a photoshop job, or a real sticker that you made?
If anyone of you decide to produce them, tell us.
You might sell them in Support aera, like CIVINFO stickers for support reasons

robbo51 · 17th March 2008, 07:36

Looking forward to you producing these Conrad.
Put me down for a couple of sets.
You can make a mint on these I reckon!!

Conrad'67 · 17th March 2008, 08:54

I'll assume gers is not distributing them then? I'll try to get the sizing correct after work today.

gers · 17th March 2008, 11:06

I got these done last week using the deeper red, and they do look pretty smart. The reason I did not post was because I know Conrad is the "Sticker Man" on here

and I diddnt want to step on his toes, but if anyone wants a set I would be happy to help.. Also they are not the easiest thing to apply as you cannot use the Application Tape with them ... Conrad will know what I mean...
