I am about to have a graphics shop that I have dealt with in the past make a couple of S1 European center console Choke & Heater pull decals for me. They have done exceptional work in the past. The cost is $21.00 per decal so I was thinking that if anyone else needs one of these decals we can have them made along with mine.
-
That sounds very reasonable to me. Sign me up for two, please and thank you.
-
Excellent. Hopefully more people want some in which case I'll push the graphics shop for a "package deal". I'll keep you abreast of the situation. In the past they had a reasonably quick turn-around time and very high quality. Do you have an original decal in better condition than mine that you could photograph? They can work with my picture but a photo of an undamaged decal would of course be better.
-
Sadly, I have nothing. I've only ever seen photos, never one in the flesh.
-
Where all these decals in French for heat?
-
I already have the graphics done in cad.
They just need to be scaled to fit.
I will try to upload the graphics in a usable format within the week.

In the link folder there is a file to print. I had a digital print made on metallic foil. UV protection on top. Not very far from the original model

Those are perfect and your interior looks amazingly well done. I will see if my graphics shop can use your images. But first, do you have a couple of extras that you would like to sell so as to save me some time and effort?
-
I’d like one as well and thanks for making them available.
-
Sorry about this S1 but I have to cancel my order. Thought it would fit on my Special, but after checking, the arm rest covers everything.

I only had one copy made. It has held up perfectly since its installation. There is a 21.5MB file in the folder. By opening it with Photoshop, all the layers are visible. This can allow you to modify if necessary.

Thank you, I'm sure it will save me some cost and time. Would you be able to post any additional pictures of your interior? It appears to be a perfect restoration.
-
The interior is not something that I photograph often. :confused:
But here there are: http://lotus-europa.com/picview.asp?page=460009-1 ;)

Beautifully done. Excellent job with the chassis removal/replacement.
Did you fabricate the close-out panel between the backlite and headliner? Aluminum? Is it close to the original?
-
That's VERY nice all around, Hachille!!

Yes it is.
I particularly like the bonnet catches.

My chassis is the original one (N°9). A little modified on the underside because my body remains removable.
I do not understand your question. There is no aluminum plate for the air outlet, the roof foam must be thin enough to leave an air passage.

with modified hinges and the gutter in the front under the hood, the front is completely sealed. This allows it to be used also to put luggage on the spare wheel and behind the headlights

I finally got the choke/heat labels done. I had the graphics shop do a second run as the original set of six were less than perfect. These are pretty sweet. Silk screened on foil. Cost break down is $24.91 per label and I have four available if anyone is interested.

Any interest in more of these? Would be on thin aluminum and adhesive backed, using the same file. Price should be under $20 each at qty 16+, I don't mind sitting on extras for a while though.
