Spoke to my mates mate the signwriter about the Vinyl Graphics i want on the car.
In order for them to do the 'Chevrons' for the roof/bonnet i need an exact & to scale drawing/cad image with the correct measurements for them to be correctly portrayed.
Obviously i can't just take any picture off the internet as they may not be to scale (width V height). The measurements are nessecary as my printer may not be the same as yours and vise versa etc.
They can scale up & down from the original so it doesn't matter on the size of the original as long as it's correct.
Kind of hoping this is the sort of useful thing Vanny has tucked away in his neverending box of tricks
I'd hate to have them looking like a 'Mens Toilet' sign
never seen a perfect specification, but if i'm doing anything proper i tend to use images directly from there site.
However, i've had a few dealings with citroen global support (ie Citroen UK Customer Services) who have always been VERY willing to help! This forum has verbal permission to use the Chevrons for example, and i suspect that if you drop them an email and explain just exactly what you want to use the images for (non profit, one off, citroen racer) then i imagine they can send you postscript or the like files!
If needs be i have chevrons off the car and can make a cad reproduction? Any idea what format your printer needs them in or just in global references? THe badges on the car are both identical size, but the published images are different top and bottom!
Tiolets sign is just a random one i have on my laptop, so normally you cna tell if im on MSN on laptop or home PC or uni computer (Uni comp is side profile of my alloys!)

IE it would look really stupid blown up to any significant size and would be quite obvious as well. Having seen some rather large versions on citroen racers you do really need to have the two different sized/angled chevrons!

Now that makes sense! I had noticed the difference hence needing a proper original.
Will email Cit and see what happens, still searching my Vocab for the right Terminology so they know what i want
Bored, waiting for library to open at 12 so made a vector of the file (which can be infinately resized) and then had a play (its NOT perfect im well aware, there are no dimensions associated)
If you want specific point perfect dimensions i should be able to do that, just tell me total size you want covering Jay (or i can take the tape measure to my car )

Your local dealer should have the relevant information as the colour and dimensions would need to be given to local newspapers etc for advertising copy.
