any tips on how to fit a new TVR bonnet transfer? (Mk1 type)

i.e how to remove remnants of old one and then fit new one so it sticks properly etc?

WD40 great for removing old transfer glue then petrol wipe to remove oily residue then soapy water to replace new decals so they slip into position when dry they stay where put

I agree soapy water to get it in position, but make sure you know where you want to put it before you start! and dont panic!

On my old 280 which came without the nose cone TVR transfer, I did the following:-

Wiped down paintwork with meths to remove wax and stuff.

I then blu tacked two pieces of string running diagonally from the top corner of the left light pod to the bottom of the right light pod and then vice versa. Where the two strings intersect gave me the centre of the nose cone where I lined up the centre of the letter "V" in the TVR decal. Applied the decal slowly and carefully to minimise air bubbles. Jobs a good 'un.

Lighter fluid is better and leaves less of an oily film.
