Its wicked cool... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
But... Each one would be unique artwork,. unless we found a place that could make them with unique numbers. The other thought is that we couldnt sell any extras to people who just show up at the gate, or if we made extras, we might have to eat the extra plates. I really like the idea...how big?...are they wearable pins?...simple stamped metal plates?...mountable emblems for the engine grille?...whats the preference? I think a plate without the specific attendee number would be better, but they could be made up in a quantity sufficent to give only to pre-registered attendees...with a cut-off date for sign-ups. |

Size would be something in the range of 12 to 15 inch (wide)
Most classic european rallyes provide this type of "numbershield" to their entrants They're some kind of PVC/plastic that is screenprinted The "unique" numbers could be done seperately in vinyl and stick 'em up Usually they're zip-tied to a bumper or a grille Pro: Prolly cheaper in big quantities Pro: cool piece of memorabilia after the event (garage wall decoration) Con: How to stick 'em on a 914 Other option would be to have them done in vinyl all together Pro: Easy to apply (don't think there's much zip-tieing oportunities on a 914) Pro: Relatively cheap in a small quantities Con: Prolly more expensive in larger quantities (compared to printed shields) Con: Once you take 'em off the car... they're thrashed (no memorabilia) cheers, Jeroen |

you could print em on a magnetic surface = more cost
or you can put them behind the passenger seat in the rear window. I'm sure we could come up with some way to attach them there. |

As far as attachment goes how 'bout this?
The gray area at the top is a hole. We supply a small bolt and washer with the proper thread for the rear tow eye. Attached image(s) |

Ideally, I'd like to put 'em up front somehow...
If we're outta luck there, I think the rear window would be a good option (behind the seat - no chance of loosing it either) cheers, Jeroen |

I'm sure we could come up with some way to attach them there. I like the magnet idea. they can't be that expensive. I just received one in the mail today with a calender printed on it. It's a free promo from an accounting firm. It measures 6"X4" or 150mm X 100mm. I think this size would fit on the rear panel. Or they could be that Vinyl our club stickers are made of. |

Jeroen, I am really glad this thread was revived, I think the rallye plates are a super cool item. There is a certain vintage and european quality to them and it would set our club apart.
You had provided pricing on them as I remember and they were not that expensive. Can you update me on options, pricing and availability? bowlsby@aol.com I like the idea of attaching them to a bolt through the rear tow bolt location, but that would never happen on a real rallye car. They could also be attached to the front license plate bolts so they would not require removal of the front license plates (which are required here in 914 paradise), or even to the front fog light grille bolts. We can figure that one out I am sure. What will it take to make these happen? Jeff |

Plastic screen printed is ok, but are they available in say painted, embosssed metal? I know it costs more, but is painted vinyl our only option?
I only ask, because I would sure want to make something special out of it if possible. Every years event could have one a litteel different to memorialize the event and give it european cache. I could not get to sleep last night thinking about it on the cars. I claim plate 001. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) |

Just got the prices from the printer for the rallye shields
Shield is matte white polysterene 1mm thick max dimensions 310 x 192 mm (cut to shape of the design) prices for a 2 color print 50 pieces - $300 ( $6 each) 100 pieces - $350 ( $3.50 each) 200 pieces - $450 ( $2.25 each) These prices are excluding dutch sales tax (19%), but my little company can eat that I'll sponsor the shipping as well (hopefully, I'll bring them myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)) Production takes 2-3 weeks If I need to ship 'em, count on another 2-3 weeks So the need to be ordered 6 weeks in advance to be on the safe side!!! Lemme know what you think... cheers, Jeroen |

Jeroen,
That pricing seems very good! Don't eat the tax, we'll just add that as part of the price. |
