Hi everyone, where can I find a replacement sticker?

One day it just fell off, never to be seen again... which is annoying since the car has been babied all its life. Since I'm in the process of doing a back-to-original resto it would complete and pretty-up then engine bay.

Cheers,

I.

Pretty sure I have a couple of them lying around

Oh oh! I re-make mine. Any sticker shop will do it, but it should really be a "high tack" or similar media. The heat isn't really an issue on good stock (sticker material).

I originally did one for my GTVi and now I've done one for the AWD; (http://imgur.com/xjYxj)

By memory I had two made (art supplied) for $30 on high tack stock. This time around I'm not running with high tack, just a slightly thicker than standard stock.

This is all if you want something different, but if its a quick replacement I'd run with what Mal' has on hand.

Wipe the surface down with Mineral Turps before you put the new sticker on.

Mitsubishi sell them new. Just give them your V.I.N and they will get you the correct decal. They aren't that expensive from either.

Metho or isopropanol would probably be a wiser choice, mineral turps tends to dissolve and damage plastic surfaces.

Ralliart stickers are obsolete? Anybody got a decent photo of one (Ralliart engine cover sticker)? I'll redraw it and post the vector file somewhere we can all access it. With that file it could be taken to any sticker shop and reprinted.

If anyone does make the ralliart engine cover sticker i want one. Skapper do you have the dimensions? I can take a photo

I have the dimensions I've used before, as well as the dims on a current (factory) sticker.... and a spare (blank) engine cover. If you've got a decent enough photo I can do it! I'll shoot through a proof once it's done, check dims etc and that's it.

Hope that works

I did these at 240mm x 65mm so there's some bleed (trim) but can reduce the size if needed. The files linked are vector files (infinitely scalable) and editable with the right software, so any sticker shop can hack at it if needed,

Nice work skapper, any chance you can make a sports one if I grab a photo??

I've done an engine cover sticker for my AWD Sports. The catch was the damn font they used in "Sports". All I had to go on was a crappy low res JPG and the embroidered text on my seats. The link HERE (http://imgur.com/xjYxj) shows as good as I could get with what little I had. If you've got a good, clear, top down photo of the actual "Sports" wording I'm sure I can get closer to the original.... so, yes, if you've got a pic' I can do the sticker.

One other (corny) thing I did was Ralliart type build number stickers for both my GTVi and Doddski's AWD Verada. I plan on doing the same for the AWD Sports. These stickers are the same size/layout as the Ralliart build No. stickers, I just change the logo. For the "build number" I used the last three digits from the VIN :P Corny I know, but they didnt look too bad.

I can upload the vectors for this type of sticker for every "badged" Magna (example; GTVi, Xi, Sports) and then leave the numbering space blank... the font there is just helvetica bold so any sticker shop could add your custom build number. By memory I had a dozen of each sticker (Doddski's and mine) done for $20 on a nice high gloss stock. Shop around and I imagine you could get these done much cheaper.

And finally, one project I have to start yet is replacing the sticker in front of my shifter (the instructions for the shift lock) so I can repaint the center console piece. Once I have that done I'll put a link somewhere for that also. If there are any other factory type stickers you need replaced just drop a photo I'll do what I can... provided I'm not infringing on any heavy duty copyright laws. And just check first the genuine price isnt the cheaper option first.

EDIT Added this LINK (http://imgur.com/a/enSb8#0) to show my GTVi custom stickers. I used this same art to have the grill badge cut from stainless.

Just Bumping this up i'm taking the Photo of the Ralliart Sticker (thanks to skapper) down to the local printing shop and will try and get some made for our engine covers. Might keep this for Ralliarts or cars with ralliart parts only ;)

Does anybody have a photo of a Sports engine cover? Kinda keen to do my Sports AWD cover sticker as close to original as possible.

just adding the correct size for these stickers is 232mm by 58mm by my measurments.

The extra is the bleed chief. The stuff that gets trimmed off. This way, for example, if the sticker is printed on white or silver you can trim it back to the original size. If you took it to a sticker shop they'd bill you to add bleed. Without bleed you run the risk of the sticker being cut to size and having a slight edge that shows the stocks original colour.

I will add crop marks though, with your dimensions, so it can be trimmed properly.

thats ok just by the pics i wasnt sure if it would cut to close to the writing or not.

G'day MadMagna mate...I don't suppose you have an 'AWD' sticker for the rockercover of my KW AWD SeriesII...I've not tried 'gen u wine' yet as I am out of Mackay...Taaaaaa
