Thanks in advance.

Is yours bolt on or guled on

No Mr dislexic, its not guled on but "GLUED" via a decal. But when you find someone good post him up, as my 78 needs Gold pinstripes when it is repainted BACK IN THE ORIGINAL METALIC BROWN. Ummm that brown on those little BMW butterboxes looks pretty good.

Thanks for the replies. My brother had a very large shark printed for the bow of his boat and I think I will ask him for some contact info and let you know how I go. I thought given the popularity of these vehicles the hood "stickers" would be fairly easy to source.

You can try Chevparts, Yennora - or buy direct, the killer is the post, but these should be small. You can get just about anything from the states.

Can any one confirm the colour name of the red within the l82 badge?
Thanks Darylle

And yes, despite the site address description saying 'gold', it looks pretty red to me.
