Rob, how long before the gov. figures out that the decal business is only a front for you buying Opels and righting them off as tax deductions?

Love the new design. I've really like seeing stuff with that logo on the German Ebay and LONG for a set of floor mats like my uncle has in his wagon.

Decal # 6

OK, here is number 6.
This one is strictly for fun, and is a good one to put on your non-Opel forms of transport.
Measurements are: 8 1/5 x 2 1/2 ( 215mm x 65mm)
Available in white, yellow, orange, red, silver and black.
Cost is $2.00 each.
See below for fitment example (poor pic, reflections from the lights in my shop).

Rob;

I just sent you payment for the following. 1 # 1, 1 # 2, 2 # 3, 2 #4.

You should bring them to Carlisle next year. You could probably pay for your hotel with the sales

It's an outside the glass sticker....these stickers are made of a top notch vinyl that lasts about 10 years exposed to the weather.

I'm chomping at the bit now. Everyday I ask my wife if anything came from Canada. I'm hoping to see it today.

My 4 "Opel Motorsport" decals arrived yesterday, they look awesome. Will get them on the Wagons this weekend. And thanks for the extra one. The shop you get them done at does great work.

I'll have to go back through the thread and figure out how to order some of these.

Back in 1980 I redid my original Manta Rallye in a solid orange/butterscotch paint job that was cheap but awesome (I slipped the Maaco painter an extra $20) and looked even better when I found some transparent Opel decals that ran just above the rockers from the front to the rear wheel wells. There were two black stripes and an "OPEL" toward the rear and they looked fantastic and lasted for years. I am heartbroken that I don't have pics of this car.

Anybody remember these decals?

Jim
