Smile New Grafix !!

My fella has just fitted unique designed side grafix for my GP sporting. I think they look great and am very pleased indeed.
He is a vinyl fitter by trade and his boss drew them up for us using the original PUNTO logo.
See what you think??

Re: New Grafix !!

Re: New Grafix !!

Looks really nice, but why is the "T" in upper case when the rest is in lower?

sporTing, shouldn't it have been SPORTING, Sporting or sporting?

Otherwise

Tom

Re: New Grafix !!

The letters are taken from software that makes the font correct to the "Punto" logo apart from the "s" "r" & "g" which has to be adapted to suit. The ones that were used looked the best to go with the originals.
Re. the bumper strips, I'm a girlie and I'm affraid I have to retain a bit of practicallity i.e. when parking in Tescos car park!!

Many thanks for your comments.

Still, why not use all uppercase / lower case. PUNTO is upper case on the car, therefore the "S", "R", "I" and "G" should also have been uppercase.

If you look at the back of your punto, although the letters are all the same cap height, the "n" is a lower case n - not uppercase like the "T". Therefore, the graffic designer at my partner's workplace designed it to suit the original. At the end of the day, it's my individual choice and I like it!!

Thanks Tom.

Re: New Grafix !!

I took my rear badge off lol, just had a look on here and indeed the "n" is lower case. For the first time I stand corrected lol.

I like the decals as I said, and I am one for "uniqueness".

No worries. I am now being hassled to de-badge the back by my the other half but so far I've resisted! I did it to my old Sei Sporting eventually but these things take time - it's a girl thing!

Re: New Grafix !!

I think that look great. I like the unique font. Its done really nice but agree with tommy about the side bumper strips does ruin it abit. Maybe u could incorperate the strip with the decals

I think if the rub strips was colour coded then it wouldn't look too bad.

As the guy who applied these grafix for kezza. I have to say that putting the vinyl that far up the door would be like going back to the 70s two-tone paint jobs!! (or just buy a silver car like everyone else )
Tell you what lets go out and get some furry seat covers and matching dice aswell shall we??
These stripes look good and are suble enough for the car without looking cheap and tacky unlike the actual FIAT "stripes" Ltd edition.

Many thanks for your comments though, laters.

Tacky? No, considering 'your version' the side stripes are almost IDENTICAL on my car to the one's you've 'created' (modified)
