Found out today that while the shop was working on my 914-6, one of the flunky's remove & destoyed my sticker from the door-jam. I had made it Perfectly Clear that this sticker was not to be touched and to be protected during the restoration. But now it's gone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
I was told that you can get them from Porsche? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I know that George sells replicas, but how do you get them perforated? Pissed & confused in Tampa, T.C.   |

I would think making the VIN perforations could be done with some practice and by making a jig with the number layout, but the anti-tamper circular impressions would be harder. Or does the Auto Atlanta stickers already have those?

QUOTE(brer @ Mar 3 2009, 09:22 PM) Laser cutter would be my approach to the holes. This was my initial thought as well, but I'm not sure how one would go about preventing the singe marks around the cut-away edges... TC, so sorry to hear about your heartache. Perhaps this will turn out to be a blessing in disguise, if you can perfectly replicate the original sticker. Personally, I've never liked the masked-off-for-painting end result, especially on a car where everything else is perfect - the overspray/paint thickness difference becomes such an eyesore, and you see it every time you open your door! Until this thread, I didn't realize it was a crime to remove the sticker, but now that I think about it, I see the logic, though I doubt any law enforcement agency would enforce the law. With vintage vehicles that have been restored and passed between owners, how would anyone go about proving that YOU were the one to remove the sticker? Question for everyone: Has anyone successfully been able to remove the sticker for re-application after painting? Heat gun tricks? Chemical adhesive release that doesn't do damage to the sticker itself? There's gotta be a way! |

Anyone else notice that the '7' used in the date is different from the '7' in the VIN? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
