Reds decals are still being tweeked but yes I will do the same for both sets.
Hey How much will the decals be...
Great outcome chaps
payment sent to mike and you have a pm
After payment when are they available? From now on??
Any news on how the red sets are coming on?
It'll be the start of June when I can pay, so as soon as I have the cash I will check that there are still sets available. Did I read that they will be going on eBay as well?
Went a collected Tungsten Decals from Dave over the weekend so they are now in stock and ready to go at £110 to RTOC members inc delivery to Mainland UK. The people on the list have first dibs there after any RTOC member. If RTOC members don't pay up I will ofer then elsewhere to cover costs. Dave and Scotty are close to finishing the Red ones.
If this goes to plan they will start work on the other colours but need people on the lists to pay up.
Many thanks Mike

Awesome work. I'm in for a Black car set!!
Thanks for the update mike. The money is waiting for a red car set when they are finished
Also black set.. but thought these would suit?
This has turned ****
I need a set for a black car please.
You have got to give it time mate these things don't happen over night. Alot of effort has gone into getting these right, davo and Scotty didn't have to put all this effort in, there helping the club out no end by producing these reps. If you look at the red decal thread mike is keeping it updated with the progress on them and I know that he will sort everyone out on the list with decals. Credit where credit is due pal
We're in the process of finishing off the red decals (slow progress due to the chap who does them being on holiday for 10 days).
It really is a slow drawn out process fella, it took 3 months to do the grey decals and that was with a original renault grey decal as a sample and a tungy car to fit them on as a sample.
I can assure you all of us are working hard to get these red ones done. So we can move onto the next decal sets.
I believe the red sets should be sorted by early next week- as soon as they are done I imagine mike will be asking us to develop the black ones.
Patience is a virtue chap. I know it's frustrating waiting for your ones to be ready, we can only do one set at a time.
Alternatively, mike has grey decals on the shelf, the only difference between them and the ones for the black car is the shade of grey is a bit lighter. Could be worth considering
Given the graft so far, its 100% worth waiting for proper black varients pal..
Perhaps I should be a little more clear, cannot praise you guys enough for the effort, if only you could do gear knobs ha.. !
It's just Mike I'm a bit cheesed at, why take over everything decent, the wanted thread may as well be a direct feed to mikes inbox, no one gets a chance to sell anything anymore. Seeing countless 5's being murdered for cash, a dying breed..

In mikes defence I was at his yard on Sunday, there was 20 5's and a Renault 11.
The ones that were being broken were completely ruined and pretty much no chance of survival.
The ones that were being saved in my opinion were also no good but he's saving them and they are not being broken up.
Most of his spares come with the cars he buys up.

There was a load more too and only one being broken up, which was rotten so bad all over.

I agree mike is a top bloke, starting a witch hunt on here for him will come back to bite you on the arse!!
Mike took over the decals mate due to me and Scott not having the time to post out to everyone 1 at a time, the packaging and posting the first batch took us ages & due to work commitments Scott and i didn't have the time. We approached Mike (he didnt approach us) as we thought he could buy in bulk and make it easier and quicker for members to buy, thus making different colour decals available quicker.
To be honest matey if it wasn't for mike the red decals wouldn't even be getting made,
It's only because he's guaranteed to buy the 10 sets (the minimum i can get printed per go)
That the red sets are happening.
Check the gearknob stickers I had made (not the ones on eBay mine are completely different)- these are available fella- but I'm out of stock.
This isn't the positive feedback section.. Jeez !
Speaking from my own experience thats all, didnt know I was going to get "teeth marks on my arse"
Mike's business has a huge knock-on benefit for the members of this club (and non-RTOC owners of GTT's).
Parts for the GTT are becoming harder and harder to source. They are scattered to the four corners of Europe and his business centralises a lot of what is still available out there. He stocks no end of new/reconditioned parts some that have previously been reported on RTOC as 'no longer available' and the ever-ready stock of 2nd hand parts has been invaluable for a lot of member rebuilds (and for the recycling of otherwise scrap parts).
I say thank goodness it makes business sense for him to continue, the benefit of having spares available at reasonable prices and the part that plays in keeping GTT ownership in the UK a viable proposition, is priceless.
i know a few people have contacted me on the decals now ,as soon as we have more info on the red decals we will post up.
as stated mike is a busy guy and im sure he will contact everyone as soon as he can. as dave said he has the tungy/white decals in stock and ready to purchase. the red decals are slowly being sorted
if you cant get hold of mike for the decals drop me a pm and i will happily contact him.please only do this if you defently want them.
keep up the good work guys and mike you know I will be after a set for the black 5
Can't agree more excellent work I am also waiting for a set for a black 5..
Fitting.
Any one fitted these yet and care to jot down a few notes for me please.
Arches off?
Fold around doors?
Trim ,cut. ?
Fade from top to bottom. Etc
I'll start off.
1. Don't attempt to fit yourself hungover in a Gail. You will ruin one.
2. Find a decal fitting shop in your area.
3.. ........
Thank you
Same here a few hints would be great got a set off Topcat ages ago and haven't had a look as yet as don't wanna cock it up..Really don't want to take of bodykit to fit if I can help it though..
Trims gotta come off or loosened and pulled forward to do it right.
Do the door strips fold around the doors slightly ? They seem a tad too long.
Yes they do mate, as standard anyway
Yeah they do- reason being is the ones from renault actually fall short of covering the door. So we made them longer (as I wanted my door completely covered).
This way you have a choice, cut them and fold them around the door or cut them short like renault.
Do the sills need to come off to get the rear arches off? I can't remember
how many of you guys have actually fitted these?
mine were fitted yesterday/today everything was going fine all fitted and looked the business and then we come to remove the protective covers off them all i can say is it wouldnt hardly budge even with some heat on them was leaving glue behind and lifting the sticker back off , so it looks as if im going have to remove them and have the bottoms of my doors etc re painted not happy at all
