Under Bonnet 'stickers'

[Goaty Bill]

Something of an odd one here.
Chimaera 500, ordered late 1997, delivered Feb. 1998, so 'facelift' model.

I need to accurately identify the stickers that were on the inner wing. Near/passenger side, for that year (presumably the same across all models).

Just had some paintwork done, the shop removed them, and unfortunately didn't retain them for future reference.
Other than that, they appear to have done a great job throughout.
Final inspection and, all things being as they should be, collection tomorrow. But I'd like to acquire these asap and ascertain the exact placement of the originals.

So..... Close up pictures in situ would be ideal


Thanks

Try sending Lestershaw a PM - he has contributed to the Thunder in the Tunnels thread, and has a T reg 500. He's a nice guy and I am sure will jump to your aid

Oddly enough, I think they may have changed again by then, i.e. late '99.
I have seen pictures of '99 and later that have metal plates on the passenger side, as well as on the driver's side.

I don't know if these will help. Taken from a February 1998 Chimaera.

Thanks for that. Almost exactly the same, and I had forgotten the sticker below the metal plates on the driver's side.
The shame of it

I didn't ever have the third 'lowest' sticker on the passenger side, but the other bigger ones look correct.
I can now drop in on RG and show it at them

Can I assume you wouldn't mind me emailing these to them?

Thanks again.

Feel free!

Had a brief chat followed by an email of the pictures, so awaiting a response.
They seemed hopeful.

But if you ever see me near your car, razor blade in hand ..... I promise to carefully polish the affected area before I leave


Odd that mine was delivered Feb 1998, though registered as a 1997, and there is a one sticker difference.
Surely they couldn't have been all that far apart on the assembly line?

The one in the middle of the three in the picture as mine has been damaged by the end of the bonnet stay. Just cosmetic, but if there are any around I'd have one.

I'm also looking for the same sticker - for the same reason! Mine is a '96 Griffith. David.

Try Surface & Design.

I believe they have access to them?

[Goaty Bill]

I found them.
At Racing Green. Not listed on the site, but it was my first call.

The photos were a big help, as there are several variations.
