Okay mate. Good stuff. This list is literally to make sure that there is interest. As before we will accept returns on them if people are not happy with the quality.

Maybe the club may have an interest and stock them?

That's a great idea the club shud really have a stock of these

We'd be happy to sort the club out with sets. But I have no idea who deals with the buying etc.

[Trevhib]

Apologies TC :D

Funny as I saw Goher's old car (which I think is the one on the Azevs) about 5mins later when browsing other threads, lol.

Got to say you boys have done a flippin' ace job by the looks of it. Great stuff.

I'm getting 5 more decal sets tomorrow- 4 are sold already chap. So if you want a set contact R5 Scotty ASAP mate. We don't know when we will be getting anymore.

[Hammer]

Drat...looks like I'll be missing out. Can't afford any until pay day (30th April). Looks like I'll have to settle for one of those French copies on the French eBay site :cry: ;)

Well mike has shown some interest but understandably wants to see some copies first hand before he commits to buying any.

[Hammer]

Don't suppose there's a set still kicking around at all? I've finally got some money!!

That's what I did with the first run of decals. One for my 5, the other for my parts bin lol.

[TopCat]

Things are developing with the decals- Mike has shown interest in buying some. If Mike decides to buy the decals then we will ask all members to buy them through mike.

Scott and I will keep you all posted :)

Do you know what the price will likely be if this happens mate? Ta

[Hammer]

Sorry, just read your comments in the red decal thread.

[djinuk]

put my name down, where do i send the monies :)

[phase i 16 v turbo]

As many of you may have read I have been approached to stock the copy Decals that are being produced by Topcat and R5 Scotty.

What this means is I am fronting the money to get the stock. The people on the list will be given first dids on them and at the agreed price. I am planning on collecting the Decals the middle of next week.

So if you are on the list can you please send payment to:-

gtturbospares@gmail.com

Over the weekend confirming your Full name and address. So I can start the ball rolling. If I don’t receive payment they will be offered to others.

If all runs smoothly this will mean Topcat and R5 Scotty can concentrate efforts on producing the other colours. If we are let down buy non-paying members this will not happen.

RTOC members will be looked after but there will be an extra charge added for non-members. This might encourage more new members!!!

Many thanks Mike

[Andyturbo!]

Hi mike does this still stand for the red car decals, are they been produced now or is there still not enough members?

[Jonny5]

Hi mike does this still stand for the red car decals, are they been produced now or is there still not enough members?

Think Mike is saying that forget the lists of ten etc, he is going to front the cost of getting more sets made and then stock them.
Red and others colours too eventually, by the sounds of it :)

Sounds good to me then I beta get my order in :agree:

[phase i 16 v turbo]

Reds decals are still being tweeked but yes I will do the same for both sets.:agree:

[Angry kid]

Hey How much will the decals be...

[Trevhib]

Great outcome chaps :agree::)

[j4ck-dw]

payment sent to mike and you have a pm :D

[Hammer]

payment sent to mike and you have a pm :D

Can I please check mate, is it £110 delivered? Thanks

[phase i 16 v turbo]

Can I please check mate, is it £110 delivered? Thanks

Yes £110 inc the delivery to mainland Uk addresses.

Thanks Mike

[Chris Beer]

After payment when are they available? From now on??

[phase i 16 v turbo]

After payment when are they available? From now on??

That's the plan but only one person has paid up so far not a good sign.

[Andyturbo!]

Any news on how the red sets are coming on?

[Hammer]

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?

[phase i 16 v turbo]

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

[Alistair Gresty]

[Andyturbo!]

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

110% agree with you on the high level of effort from the guys, been a long time coming someone doing a decent set and this is top! I will have a set, but not keen of having to go through GTTSpares all the time and not receiving replys

[TopCat]

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 :agree:

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..

[car.crash]

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.

:agree:

[TopCat]

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.

[Chris Beer]

This isn't the positive feedback section.. Jeez ! :laugh:

Speaking from my own experience thats all, didnt know I was going to get "teeth marks on my arse" :crap:

[Trevhib]

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.

[r5_scotty]

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:agree:

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.

[Junglist]

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

[Flight666]

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..:)

[casper]

Trims gotta come off or loosened and pulled forward to do it right.:agree:

[Junglist]

Maybe they could be cut bang on wear they meat the arches?
I wouldt recomend you attempt to fit them yourself unless your competent.

[Junglist]

Do the door strips fold around the doors slightly ? They seem a tad too long.

[dj_craig_]

Yes they do mate, as standard anyway

[TopCat]

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.

:)

[Junglist]

Do the sills need to come off to get the rear arches off? I can't remember

[Junglist]

Do the sills need to come off to get the rear arches off? I can't remember

I mean side skirts :)

[TopCat]

I mean side skirts :)

No mate they sit above the skirts. Loosen the arches warm water and a card to move the air bubbles. Ill take some pics of mine if u want me to email u them. Be tomorrow now though fella

[BluntyR5GTT]

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

Ah, that's a bit ****.

[Trevhib]

Bummer.

Wait for TC and the others who've had these fitted to come back with ideas before doing anything Blunty.

Surely the worst that could happen though is that the stickers are pulled off and the glue removed with some suitable chemical?

[BluntyR5GTT]

thats the thing if i remove the stickers it will pull the paint off. obviously the glue the protective cover was leaving could be removed but i honestly dont dare to try and remove anymore as it just seems get tougher

[Penfold aka The Dealer]

That sucks, do you think the fresh paint hadn't helped? Do feel for you tho :(

No way...am going to fit mine after my respray........:cry:

[BluntyR5GTT]

the actual decals look fantastic cant fault them, its just the protective film thats not playing ball at all, so id say the paint really wouldnt matter in that aspect.

[TopCat]

Hello chaps- what's happened? I'm not really understanding the protective cover? We don't put covers on the front of the the decals.

Blunty PM me mate and tell me what happened.

Cheers TC

[Hammer]

Keep us posted as to what has happened chaps. I'm finally looking at purchasing a set when I can get in contact with Mike, so would like to know what has possibly gone wrong. Hope it gets sorted out for all concerned.

[BluntyR5GTT]

pm sent

[BluntyR5GTT]

all sorted now guys, spoke to tc on the phone and been informed that they dont have a film over the top its just a case of sticking them and getting the bubbles out job done.

i will just say it wasnt my decision to remove what was thought to be a top film it was already happening before i knew about it, as when you look down the one side thats been done and nothing removed looks perfect

so panic over guys at least someone has made the balls up so you dont have to :laugh:

[BluntyR5GTT]

may i also add what a top fella topcat is a real credit to the club :agree:

[TopCat]

Cheers Blunty. Glad it's all sorted and the 5 will be looking the nuts :)

Get some pics up when the decals are on.

[BluntyR5GTT]

thanks again davo really good of you fella

its going to be a few weeks now until anymore gets done, as my mate goes in for heart surgery this coming tuesday so im stuck until he goes back work, the original plan was get the decals on,waxoyl then fit side skirts, mot and tax it monday then all was sorted.

[Hammer]

Well done guys for sorting out the confusion so qucikly...that's what makes this club great in my opinion :agree:

Does anybody know if Mike is around? I'm ready to buy a set but just want to make sure they'll be with me by Wednesday as I want to get them fitted for Sundays retro show :)

[TopCat]

I'm seeing mike tomorrow mate, will let him know you want a set and get him to contact u :agree:

Hi all , does anyone know where I could get my hands on a adjustable fuel pressure reg this week end in the west midlands area !!!!!

[Hammer]

I'm seeing mike tomorrow mate, will let him know you want a set and get him to contact u :agree:

Thanks mate...I've sent him a Facebook message as well. Got a bloke lined up to fit them for me on Wednesday ready for the weekend :)

[Trevhib]

Really glad to hear this has been sorted. :)

That fitting guide (as mentioned in related threads), needs to be park of the package at the point of sale :agree:

[Hammer]

Just a quick question lads, has anybody fitted their decals themselves without expert help? Looks like I will not be able to fit mine until Friday now and I want them ready for Sunday. However, the friend I had lined up to help me who does vehicle wrapping can't make it. So I'm thinking of doing it myself.

Anybody have any tips please?

Thanks

[Hammer]

I should have added, there's no way I can get my body kit off. The arches have been fitted using grip fill (or similar) and aren't going anywhere!!

Well done guys for sorting out the confusion so qucikly...that's what makes this club great in my opinion :agree:

Does anybody know if Mike is around? I'm ready to buy a set but just want to make sure they'll be with me by Wednesday as I want to get them fitted for Sundays retro show :)

Have replied and have them ready and awaiting payment.

Thanks Mike

[Junglist]

Just a question lads, has anybody fitted their decals themselves without expert help? Looks like I will not be able to fit mine until Friday now and I want them ready for Sunday. However, the friend I had lined up to help me who does vehicle wrapping can't make it. So I'm thinking of doing it myself.

Anybody have any tips please?

Thanks

I tried to fit mine without looking into it. Bad idea. Messed it up and had yo get s replacement.

Best tip mate is get a specialist to it them. Its not worth ruining them and having to buy a second set. It costs between £35-£50 and its well worth it :agree:

I always get the body work chap at the paint shop to fit mine and our customer's ones. When I watched him there is an art to getting all the air bubbles out. Also the correct tools :D

There's a place not far from me who wanted £35 And an hour to fit. Sadly they are fully booked up for the next couple of weeks so off to birkenhead to wrapping shop Friday morning at a cost of 60 :(

Just ordered my decals from Mike, and I've found somebody local who wraps vehicles (amongst other things) and he's going to fit them for me at home. His fee? Lots of cups of tea, not bad hey ;)

Can't wait to get them on the car!

:mad:

[Hammer]

Sorry mate...pity you're not nearer to me, perhaps I could have convinced him to fit two sets!!

There is another decal fitter closer but he didn't fill me with confidence and I'd rather get it done proper.

Spot the difference.

[Trevhib]

You could have lined them up better :wasntme:

The new ones are really are flippin' fantastic.

If your question on differences is genuine, perhaps the colours on the new ones appear slightly richer all over than the originals? Or is it the angle/flash of the camera, or perhaps the age of the originals?! In any case, who cares, they are awesome :)

I was shaking like a sh*tting dog when I lined them up.... ;)

Yeah the age has faded the originals, but the difference in colour is mainly down to the flash

It's supply to the demand mate. We done the red sets as there were 10 people who wanted them. Mikes been effed around with buyers and only sold a handful.

Minimum club buy is 10 sets. :) start a thread up, it might get the ball rolling

Not the cheapest things around 110 for stickers ,they are 170 for o.e ,I think that's what puts people of the price of them I mean 6years ago they were £75

[Bigfoot]

If you think how long those Renault stickers have been sitting around though within Renault, a lot of them will be tatty and more than likely wont stick proper or peel off nicely off the backing.

Also from pictures of last group buy from Raj compared to these, the quality is so much closer to original with the fad pattern and for that reason then price will have to be higher as it was needed to use a different print technique to get it this close.

What does the price of OE decals in 2007 have to do with how much bespoke versions are in 2013? Weren't the OE ones over £200 last year? Wouldn't that be a more useful measure?

In any case, the vagaries of price v supply/demand are irrelevant, the point is, people agreed to buy them at the stated price, and have since pulled out, or so it would appear based on the posts above.

I'm just as saying that's all and people pulled cause of price ,that's why people didn't buy off mike that's my reason.

Like we said before mate- no ones holding guns to heads to buy them. Last time we checked at Renault the were over £200. You can buy a set of originals off eBay for £170 but they won't be in brand new condition.

6 years ago fuel was 89 pence a litre.

People were told of the price before committing to buy. That price is delivered as well- Royal Mail special delivery is £8. Plus the money for packaging, plus the time of me, Scott or mike packaging them and going to the post office.

Bargain if you ask me :)

What was the difference between the original price of these new decals through TC and the price they are now sold at through Mike? I had thought it was minimal?

If it's about people putting their names down for something before the price has been set, and then pulling out when they realise the price is too much for them, then as long as it's done at the very first indication of what that price is going to be, then fine. Otherwise I'd put my name down for buying a new Faberge egg, then wait until they've spent all the time, money and effort in producing it and then pull out because it's eight million quid and I think it's too much for me.

I didn't say you shouldn't give your 2p's worth, I'm just asking that you clarify that it's value is in fact 2 pence. :agree:

EDIT: Interesting to note that if you were to buy an OE decal set from Renault in 2007 at £75 plus say £10 delivery, that comes to exactly £100 in today's money...

[JRP]

More bollox. Prices change with the times big whoop wanna fight about it? No.... Accept it

The copy's are good and once on I doubt the difference is noticeable... Pointless pointless bickering.

Not an opinion or 2 pence as your not allowed to think for your self anymore with out somebody getting offended or making sure there point is more valid.

It's a thread offering a product.

Hi rob

Think you are in the wrong topic as this is for tungsten not red

Thanks

I think the reality is that almost everyone here realises and appreciates the effort in making these and the value in what they are priced at. It's just a fact of life that there is always a minority who're of a different (usually difficult to understand) opinion.

[Chris Beer]

Pay for what you get at the end of the day

Guys, are these still available?

I'm needing a new driver's side door and that could come in any colour other than tungsten, so a set will be useful.

Thanks mate- everybody who has bought a set has been more than happy. :agree:

To people with their arse in their hand about these being offered to the club shop- They were offered back in the Summer & the club politely turned down the offer as the club had spent available funds on the national day.

So, We approached Mike @ gt turbo spares, who agreed to front up the money for the grey and red car decals, Mike is the reason the decals for the red car were produced, if it wasn't for him none would have been made.

People's points of view are always listened to of course, but there are ways and means of going about doing this (a private message to myself, Scott or Mike would have been more prudent) I took the negative comments personally because Scott and I spent 50+ hours & numerous car journeys after working hours to getting these decals developed. I don't mind critique, but to be honest, if we knew the sh*t that came With doing these decals we wouldn't even entertain doing it for the masses again.

We donated 20 gearknob stickers to the club shop to help raise funds for it too.

Don't mind at all mate, your graphics were of an amazing quality and look the business. If you can still get some from Mike Va Va Voom, then snap them up. They are a bargain at half the price of OE ones.

Such a shame that people complained about the production of these, because it really was a great deal for RTOC members and a deal that so many more people could have benefited from.

I would also like to say that if the lads hadn't done this for the members, I still wouldn't have graphics on my car. So I really am grateful.

Anyone know what the tungy decals would look like on a black 5?
