Just thought I'd post the results of re-badging my Scooby (sorry the pics aren't too brilliant, but had to take them in the garage. Will post better ones if anyone wants).

One blistered finger later:



The "C" doesn't look as bad as it does in the picture - honest. Must be the lighting. In any case, I have a spare set so if it looks bad in the daylight I can always replace it



I'm wondering what the guys at Subaru Luxembourg are going to make of it when I get it PPP'd next week

The lettering came from a company in the US, Your Emblem, and look are darn sight better than the naff "Ford" letters people are fobbing off on eBay. They will offer group discounts if anyone else is interested.

oi ive got scooby on the back of mine and it doesnt look crappy not as good as yours though like it mate

BMWhere?

Looks Good! Is the C on wonky or is it just the funny shaped ends that make it look like that?

Are you still planning to come to the International meet near Stuttgart? We can judge it properly there

Taomyn

Well now you know what to replace them with

Cheers for compliment.

Any one know if there's a PPP badge? If not I might use the same people again.

Taomyn

I'm beginning to get paranoid now, but I'll make a judgement call tomorrow in the daylight. As I wrote, it's not the end of the world seeing as I have a spare. In fact it might be possible to resuse a removed letter if I replace the sponge sticker with some British Telecom double-sided tape (strong stuff).

Not sure that I can now as it clashes with a potential work commitment (and I'ze be needingz the dosh), but I'm still secretly hoping for it to get bumped to another date

I think if u look at the S and then the C u will see it aint on the wonk cos the S has the same slant cut to it, U GO GEEZER I LIKE IT

Infact if i werent doin the rally thing id have it in a flash.

wrxtankie

INFACT IT IS WONKY NOW IM SOBER JUST THE C THO

Taomyn

I'm beginning to agree. Had another look this morning

Oh well, out with the hair drier again - actually if I just soften it up I might just be able to twist it round a touch.

BMWhere?

Where'd the pictures go?
I want to see it without alcohol too
Did look very nice tho!

Taomyn

Sorry, had to reboot my webserver after upgrading the mail system. Plus I think something is swamping it but I can't work out what

Should be back now sort of

BMWhere?

Yeah, back again now! Funny, it doesn't seem as wonky as it did last night... too much beer

Nope it is most definately on the wonk

---=CeeDee=---

imho "S" is turned upside-down (wider "bubble" on letter S allways go down afaik)...

Nevetas

I think it would look better without the scooby writing on there atall, would look classier. (no offence)

Taomyn

The problem is that I must have taken the shot with an upward angle, i.e. I was low, which gives a false impression of this - the black reflection, which is me, doesn't help either. The S is the same which ever way I put, unlike the original S U B A R U lettering.

When I take the car out again, I'll try and get a better shot.

Taomyn

None taken. Each to their own

scoobyDAZZA

the 'S' is definitly on upside down and the c is slightly wonky but do wot u say
heat it up and give it a little twist . . does look nice though ;-)

SHESCOOBY

Hey thats cool i also have different letters

S H E S C O O B Y

Taomyn

I had small amount of time last night to try to "twist" the "C" round, and I thinks it's better. Either that, or my photo is taken at a better angle.



The "S" looks okay as well

BMWhere?

Much Better

wrxtankie

Just got to sort out the spacing now........































just kidding.. LOL

ScoobyTal

much better

Taomyn

Actually, I would have liked to spread them out further, but they're smaller than the standard letters and I think it wouldn't have looked right IMHO.

As an "homage" to the original, I used the old "B" on it's side as the spacing for the new ones.
