Saltire stickers ( Not)

Post by Kinger » Mon Dec 05, 2016 10:19 pm

Hi folks,

I've been searching for Saltire stickers to replace my Union Jack stickers on my Cup spoiler without joy. Nothing to do with Yes or No votes etc, just fancy the Saltire as I'm Scottish first.

Does anyone know where I can get them made up to suit each winglet, I would need to supply a template as the flags are not symmetrical and each flag would be mirror images.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

We've used the guys at Rood Signs in Inverurie for the last few vans. Should be a simple job for them.

Just don't mention that you know Clarkie.

Hi,

Appreciate the thoughts of the collective, I've done a Saltire paper cut out and now not sure if it make it look better or worse. It might just be my art work, of course the blue would be a bit darker, and does the cross need re-styled too ?

What do you think ?

I liked your idea but not sure when I see your templates :?

Different thought. Your car looks fantastic but I thought the grey :?: wing mirrors looked odd. Red brake calipers, red wrap on the mirrors and also plain red on the spoiler ends would look great. There was a black Exige 240 for sale at Lotus Newcastle that had red calipers and wing mirrors when I was buying my Exige 3 years ago and it looked fantastic.

I can see where you're coming from but I was never a lover of the red accents on the LF1 V6's, I really like gold accents with the black and on that theme I was considering silver wheels to go with the silver mirrors and caliper's. Hoffan's have a black one with silver wheels etc and I liked it.

Current thinking is start with the Saltire stickers on top of the Union flags, if I don't like them they can be removed.
Option 2 is 2nd set of Silver Team Dynamics wheels and track tyres to go for the silver on black look complete with the silver mirrors. etc.
Option 3 something different all together.
Option 4 back to as it is now as I still like it as is.

I used to be indecisive now I'm just not sure :D

Dont like the Saltire, weak colours.

Prefer Dickson's idea with the red callipers, mirrors and spoiler ends. I also think red wheels would look good as well.

Don't think the red wheels would suit my shy retiring persona :D

Looks better with the Union flags on the end plates, how about adding metal Saltires to where the Union flag is normally fitted on the wings?
