Bought some 390SE decals from Race Graphics quite a while back but never put them on due to wanting to get the paint job done first. Bought another two a couple of weeks back and they have arrived identical to the original purchase, good news then. Well yes until i got the car out today in preparation for the paint shop on Monday.

The issue i have is that the new decals from Race Graphics are smaller than the one on the boot at the moment, but not only that, the E on the new decals has a curved back edge whereas the original has straight pointed back edge as in pics.

The new ones are approx 250mm x 32mm total size and the the original is approx 275mm x 32mm with the letters a little more stretched.

Once paint job done i want to put decals back on.

Anyone know the correct setup, or are there two different sizes? (although the E should be the same).
Thanks.

Actually, i would imagine that the 400SE decals should be same size.

Hi Steve...Someone i know had a different badge supplied but if you are not happy then get back in touch with RG and explain that you would prefer to have something as per original...I think you can create a profile by the old rubbing method and they can work from that...

Cheers

I think the new ones look better and all the fonts match.
you sure the ones on the car are original ?

I think so but only because when i look at other 390SE markings they are the same, also noticed that the 309SE imprint on the kick plates is the same with the straight edged E, 400SE markings are same also.

I thought the font used was the same one Casio uses, maybe MicroGramma. But that's from my memory which can't be trusted.

Sorted, been in touch with Neil at Race Graphics.

The plan is to just stretch the lettering to have over all length as originally measured, the Font looks correct but he will square the back edge off on the letter E.

Great customer service from Race Graphics and would definitely recommend to any body looking for graphics or this kind of stuff.
