I lost my drive not long ago and the mail will not reimport back into outlook (cheers uncle Bill) SO can all who mailed about the EPS mail me back as I have lost your addresses.

Edit 21:27 It'd be useful if someone could measure the width and height of the OZ lettering ON THE WHEEL (dont worry about the curve) I've had a few to drink, and dont fancy moving the car out of my tiny garage..)

ok- so I took a digital camera pic, (super hi res') with a ruler next to it for scale ref, then took it into photoshop and traced over the edges using paths (scaleable to huge sizes without blurrines) and now I have a spraying template for my wheels!!!



so for those who want P1 alloys refurbing- I can provide the EPS or PSD file via email so you can whack it onto a vinyl cutter and have your own lettering mask for any spray jobs!! hurrah!

ashley- thanks for the offer
- its Brad btw
I was asking if Mike Wood (Prodrive) could help out with the paint formula..

Scoobytowers- dont want to have to fork out for new wheels.. can get em sorted for 60 a wheel (or far less if you know a certain someone) so 100 for one new rim seems madness to me- thanks all the same.

in that thread i posted a set of white oz rims i had, the red text in the top pic is actualy paint from oz themselves, the bottom one is red vinal i had a graphics place knock up, asked them to slim the letters down a touch so it looked better

cost me iirc £32 for all 4 wheels and 2 wheels worth of spares if i ever needed to do them again
