Need to place the decals in the right place, what looks right? the centre line of the decal on the centre line of the bleed nipples or the circle of the griffin central to the face of the caliper

Difficult to say. because it depends on what you can see when the wheel is on.

How about, putting the brakes back on, and attaching the decal with blue-tac? Then bolt the wheel on, and see what you think.

Once you are happy with the placement, you can epoxy them on. smile

Your probably right Araf, things don't necessarily look right if central or level but need to look right as the eye sees them, I will wait till on the car.

Looking at these, the front and back are at a different height.

They look really good Mick.

Personally, i would go centre of the calliper, all day.thumbup My eye would always be drawn to the calliper body rather than the bled nipple.

But, then again, everyone's differentbeer
