What I'm looking for ia a good quality and correct size hood crest decal.
I have to remove the one on the wifes 914 because it will get pried off where she works, but I need to cover the holes. Most I've seen are the wrong size and/or poor quality. GT3 decal form the dealer is $130 canadian (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |

Best info I could find on the metallic paint decals is here:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...227846&st=0 I had one made by a guy on ebay as they are a VW item. I think the link is in that thread. If not, I will get it for you. I'll get dims on the expansion tank sticker after work. Just need to go out to the storage shed and measure. |

GT3 decal form the dealer is $130 canadian (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) $130 for a sticker from the Stealership sounds about right for a GT3. Pocket change. Plus, its good for a GT3 weight savings too. Even more important to save weight on a 914 so you should just pony up and call it a day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) |

Just need to go out to the storage shed and measure. @bbrock Did you end up using the 28mm x75mm size and can you confirm the font used? That should be enough to go on for my vendor! Eagerly awainting the expansion tank dims and I will be 2 for 4. Anyone else have an original emission decal on the windshield and/or engine bay whereby the size can be reference? |

@914_7T3
Expansion tank sticker dimensions are 80mm x 49mm Not sure about the font used on my paint sticker. Here is the link to where I got it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/VW-Vintage-style-P...2.c100227.m3827 The font looks pretty close to what I see in pics. I should have had the guy space the letters a little different though. Actual dimensions of the paint sticker I got are 28mm x 78mm. I'm not sure why the extra 3mm length. |

Please keep in mind that there were two different tire decals available for our 914's.....the one shown in the photo is for a 2.0L car. No one currently reproduces the 2.0L version.

You really going to make this one? its complicated with the 3 x 3 cells which are separate panels only connected at the corners of each panel.
108mm x 42mm. Attached image(s) |
