Looks great mate. Fair play for painting them and not using stickers.

I started to lay out the graphics but decided to start from scratch. The old one actually looks nothing like what's on the touring car

The original

So produced a template that looks something like. I've gone quite big with it because it was actually bigger on the car in the 90s as can be seen in historic pics

My template Image
All masked ready for the blue

Nicely done. Which livery are you replicating, as there were several different liveries back in the day.
Previous:
China Blue 1989 Vauxhall Cavalier L 18SV
Kings Blue 1992 Vauxhall Cavalier LSi Auto C18NZ
Smoke Grey 1994 Vauxhall Cavalier V6 C25XE

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...
