Who makes the most accurate Coil decal?

Anyone know where to find an accurate reproduction of this decal for the CDI & Coil?



I spent hours gently scrubbing away 50 years of grime from the decal on my CDI and it cleaned up very nicely. I purchased a reproduction for my coil but you can see it is not very accurate (original on top, reproduction bottom). Colors are off, typography is wrong, and even the lightning bolts are flipped. It's just not close enough to use.

This is sold as part number 911.701.201.55 but is clearly a poor repro decal.

Anyone have any luck finding a better one? Looking at photos maybe the Car-Bone one is better but I have beefed burned by them before on decals so looking for someone who has actually purchased one of these decals they would consider an accurate reproduction.

sent you a private message. And, by the way, the colors AND material varied on the Bosch originals. Sometimes they were foil, sometimes not. And the shades of yellow varied from what you show to almost a greenish tint.

Weltmeister decal and 2.2 decal both varied wildly from originals in color and typography. The Weltmeister was the dealbreaker. It wasn’t even close. That said the photos of their coil decal look decent. The extra spacing on either side of the “o” is annoying but the rest looks pretty good.

I do have a very decent one (right format and colour). You can have it. Send me a PM with your name and adress and I will send it to you.

OK. Thanks for clarifying.
