Hey guys,
Had a bit of an accident... well someone hit me while I was parked and then left without leaving me any details and nobody saw them but anyways
My quarter panel on the front drivers side is dented in over the wheel arch, and it being a v6si is hard to find the body part with matching sticker so... anyone know how I can remove that sticker (without damaging it) and put it on the new panel? Kind of grown fond of the sticker.

Buy a new one or get a graphics mob to make you a new one. I wouldn't call it expensive.

All problems can be solved with lateral thinking. You think all the stickers applied to work trucks and vans aren't custom made?
Graphic designers do them. So google places like that.
Or buy a new one from Mitsubishi.

1/ Take a photo of the sticker...use a good camera and take the photo straight on.
2/ Take careful measurements of the length and width of the sticker.
3/ Transfer the photo to a burnable CD or DVD.
4/ Go to your local trash/treasure/flea market and you'll probably find someone who laser cuts and prints sticker graphics on-site. If you were in Melbourne you'd go to the Caribbean Market on a Sunday...three blokes have stalls doing that sort of stuff there. Anyway...find a local graphics sticker guy...give thim the cd and the measurements... wait a few minutes...hey presto! New sticker.
