From ‘72T to 2.5 S/T: GeLo #44

I suggest you scan it before you fit it. If the vinyl has degraded or you have problems, you'll be able to get a replica made. In fact I'd be interested to receive the scan(s) if you do, as it's very rare to get an opportunity to copy the exact original logo and font, as fonts are copied and logos change over time. If you were to send me a collection of raster files and a dimension I can scale off I'll happily piece them together and send you back an accurate vector format for the other side.

Thanks for the tip Rob! Not too up on my file formats but as this is still someway off being fitted to the car I’ve got plenty of time to investigate them!

If you put it on a scanner you'll just get what's called a raster image, it's no good for artwork to print or cut from. Most likely a jpeg. Also it won't fit on an A4 scanner all in one go so you'd have to send a few scans. But if you were to send me that I'll give you back a vector format for both left and right which can then be printed by any vinyl graphics company.

Thanks Rob! I had no idea a jpeg / png / tiff etc file format was a raster!

I have an A3 printer and scanner so will use that to reduce the number of scans I need to do
