Tribute decal to Malcolm...

[silestanix]

Afternoon all. I was in conversation with LostKiwi and have mentioned in my project thread that I want to have a small tribute on my W202 to Malcolm.

I went to a sign print place today (second one, first one was a bit of a pain) and I can get a batch of 26 printed, so 13 pairs.

I was going to have:

Built by info from Television
forum.mercedesclub.org.uk

Coloured in silver, 20mm high and 120mm wide and located in my rear door 1/4 windows...but I know that's not applicable to everyone...

So, any suggestions...?

Also, who would like the other 12 pairs? I'll post up the artwork design from the signwriter once done so I can get approval...they'll cost a few quid each.

Cheers,

H.

Before you go to print - it's forums (plural)

I would very much like to have one .

Cheers GLK will add that...here is the print proof though,any suggestions welcome...

 

[silestanix]

Changed built to Maintained as most of us can relate to that I think?

 

[silestanix]

Ah the printer got it right haha, forums

Include 'Malcolm Watford' or 'Malcolm' in there somewhere. Whilst forumites know the reference to 'Television' many know him by his worldly name.

... and you don't need the colon before 'Malcolm'.
Pedantic I know - but a job done right was Malcolm's ethic.

After some thought tonight maybe this would be better,

I would probably go for the latter one - not even Malcolm's knowledge could make me actually maintain a car by myself, but most of my mods were done thanks to his invaluable advice.

BTW, the new forum platform is absolutely brilliant at not showing annoying posts, with only two clicks required from you - I use it extensively, and it's a much, much more enjoyable experience these days

Just tell people what you are having. The only question is "Who want's one?"

Put my name down ,, I will go along with what ever comes . But i do think Malcolms name should be on it

Thanks for your replies all,

Think I may settle on:

Perfected with help from Malcolm W
Mercedesclub.org.uk

Or

Mercedes by Malcolm W
Mercedesclub.org.uk

Thanks for the idea Tode... it's simple yet effective.

Such a difficult decision, completely unlike me to be so indecisive!

Love the way you didn't show the full reg number. "On reflection" you could have covered the SL55 plate too

full reg not important, it was the MDW that's nice......everyone knows the 55's number, I think it has had 5 different numbers on that car
