I know, I know, it's been discussed before... but does anyone have a reliable source of Wedge decals? Not the TVR logo, that's easy (in fact they're enamelled chrome badges on my car, in some ways a retrograde step) but the 280i/350i and particularly 390SE text?

When I had my Tasmin resprayed in 1999 I think I recall the painter saying he got the 'Tasmin' logos and striping from 'a place in Nottingham' who already had them on file but as that was almost 20 years ago it's not a surprise that nothing leaps out in a Google search.
I want to respray the front airdam so it'll need a new 390SE decal; while I'm at it I may as well get three more for that far-off day when pigs fly, Leicester win a football match (oh, hang on...) and my company gives me a pay rise; at which point I shall have the TVR repainted old ladies' knickers beige or some such.

So what I'm asking is, does anyone have the 390SE decals or do I have to start taking photos and emailing every vinyl-cutter on the planet?
For those who don't know it, incidentally, with the Wedges it's not a simple mater of identifying the font used because it never was a font; the logos were created as graphics (probably by a Blackpool A-level student in exchange for a couple of tins of Special Brew)...

I think the only way to be sure is to take (digital) photos.....and measure for correct size too....

I had very good results from racegraphics. I bought the 420 SEAC door sill logo to hold onto.
My contact was Neil, sales@racegraphics.net

Yup have used these guys before when I bought decals for the 350i

Very nice and I could specify if I wanted gloss, satin or matt finish , drop them a note :-)

Definitely Race Graphics,
I jut bought a pair of 390SE decals, to match up with some I had bought off them quite a while back, only when I came to check them against the originals did I realize they were slightly smaller.

No problem, Neil changed both sets without question, he had got the original smaller size from someone else but when I checked the original wedge brochures etc, the size I wanted seem to be the correct size.

If need be I will try and post the pics showing the difference tomorrow.

Cheers chaps, I'll get onto them. I make the 390SE logo 255 x 30mm (it's slightly italicised of course).
