Graphics/decals application need help!

[Martin H]

Hi I am wondering if anyone would be willing to help me install some graphics/decals on my Scoob? I just ordered them today off ebay this is the 1st link so people can know what size they are http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2709429783...84.m1423.l2649 this is the 2nd link for the other one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1610275602...84.m1497.l2649 I hope someone will be able to meet up with me and help me install them on to my Scoob.
Thanks in advance
Martin

How big are they? Is the second set a large full rally decal as that would be pretty tricky making sure you don't get air bubbles.

Most decals come with a paper front so it's as simple as removing the non stick backing, place the decal in the desired space, rub the front paper then peel off to leave the decal. I'm about next weekend and hope to get mine back on the road so ill need a test run out.


When you get them through see what you think if you want to give it a go yourself or if not give us a shout if you need another pair of hands for an hour.

The set from the 1st link are 200mm (width) and 300mm (height) the set from the 2nd link are as follows:
All wheel drive AWD graphic is 200mm x 70mm
The 2 Subaru badge's (text graphics) are 95mm x 75mm
The 2 Subaru swoosh graphics are 200mm x 40mm

As I have never attempted it before I don't really have the confidence to do it on my own as I don't want the install of them to go wrong, so your help would be very much appreciated kind sir

One tip is to spray the car with a some water & washing up liquid which will allow you to move the graphics about, however this does not work with all graphics.

All we can do is see what type they are when they come through and have ago, I'm pretty fussy with the way things turn out and like things spot on and pay attention to detail so if I think it's possible we'll get them on.

Let us know mid week when you get then and perhaps sat morn ill shoot over and take a look.

LOL you sound exactly like me, just will be nice to have your expertise and help to install them spot on as you say what sort of time were you thinking sat morn? Just I am out between 11am and 12.30pm in after 12:30pm though, I will let you know when the graphics/decals arrive in the post mate.

I had full rally graphics on my classic as bluebugeye said you can use soapy water to move the graphics about where you want them to sit but I did it different by using masking tape to tape them on the car where I wanted them then used a cloth and put them straight on as you can do that and if you get a bubble pop it with a small needle but now I have taken them off for the clean look now .
