Carrera Script Placement

[mikeferg75]

This one is "correct" higher than you think




Heck mine is to low, but I'm not the one that installed them, and it's not a big enough deal to me to redo it.

I have the factory dimensions from the 1973 Carrera RS if anyone is interested. At least you will know how they were installed originally.

The top of the solid block portion of the sticker, should line up with the gap between the rear bumper and the rear quarter panel.

This is not a exact measurement, but something that I noticed looking at low mile original paint cars online, and seeing a few in person as well.

If it were me, I'd look around for a original paint car for sale and email asking for a favor.

This is what the factory spec says that goes along with these photos:

1. Mark front and rear location of lettering [50mm] above the door lower edge.
2. left door: Align the letter "C" 10mm behind the forward edge of the door.
right door: Align the point of the "a" at the forward door edge.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT

1.PORSCHE LETTERING Mark the location of the lettering 25mm from the bottom edge of the lid on both sides and 36mm from the bottom of the lid in the center.
2. CARRERA RS on lid spoiler. Mark location of the beginning of the lettering 160mm below the spoiler inner edge, and 95mm to the right of the lid center.

COLORED LETTERING

Carrera vehicles painted Grand Prix white are furnished with lettering in colors matching the respective wheel color (red-blue-green).
All other vehicles are furninwhen with black lettering.

REMOVING DAMAGED LETTERING

Heat the lettering with air heaters, infra-red lamps etc. to the opint where it can be peeled off without pulling the paint off in the process. Wash remaints (sic) of adhesive off the paint surface with a cleaning solvent. [ have used naptha]

I think it is a great idea but... not as cool as expected. Found these in a really old thread.
