Carrera Graphics Install Early Car. Need Help.

[rennch]

Hi all,

According to this image, the Carrera graphics start about 50mm up from the bottom of the rocker cover. But, on the early cars, I have no rocker cover. Does anyone have the correct measurement for me?

[Brian 162]

I measured mine 2 inches from the bottom of the door.

[rennch]

Brian...pictures?

[Elombard]

I looked at the R, RS, RSR book and estimated it from some reference point (cant remember) in the pictures. The bottom of the decal roughly lines up with the wheel centers.

Here you go.

use some tape,5 cm wide at the bottom from the door




please wait 24 hours before removing the backing foil...............good luck

I thought that the top of the decal stripe should be on the same line as a line that runs from the tops of the front & rear bumpers of a longhood car....imagine a line strectching from the fender/bumper seam in the rear going to the fender/bumper seam in the front....the decal top matches with this line......however, the stripe on an impact bumper car is lower.

ok...so maybe 2" from the bottom of the door is just for short hoods. Anyone have longhood pics or techniques?

Check out my website.....I have installation instructions.

[rennch]

Hey Mike...it's not about the install as much as the placement location. Thanks for posting those though....very helpful.

[Joe Bob]

I also have 3-4 pics on the website that shows the typical location.....

[rennch]

Well, it's hard to tell mm from pics. Thanks though.

[Joe Bob]

If you have a longhood, envision a one inch border on the bumpers....like the chrome strip or on an RS a vinyl strip.....

Center THAT strip in the middle of the Carrera Bars on each end. THAT is the proper height.

[rennch]

mike...is the "strip" in the center of the bumpers?

Man, it sure would be helpful if someone had a pic of an early car with carrera graphics.

[rennch]

Thanks Mike...that's helpful. I see what you're talking about now.

Also...I need the "Carrera RSR" graphic file for the ducktail. Can I buy that file from you so I can get it to match my vinyl?

[Joe Bob]

RS or RSR? I should be able to cut that....black doesn't have many different shades....

[rennch]

If I was using black I would have gotten the graphics from you in the first place.

[Joe Bob]

What color ARE you using?

[rennch]

It's a grey a couple of shades from the color of my car. Subtle.
