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


Look fantastic Mike. Top image looks best to my eyes.

I will use a type of silicone adhesive, I could use gear that would make it very hard to remove them but I want to be able to remove if need be.

These are going to look good on the car and yellow suits it better.

I saw red calipers on the E3 and they did not look right to me, which is just my opinion.

Must say I really do like the yellow, much better in the flesh, I have some black HSV badges the same as what you can see below passenger door, I am going to paint the griffin yellow and leave the HSV part black, think it needs a dash of yellow somewhere else to join it all together, doing the whole HSV badge yellow will be to much I think.
