New seat base build # stickers ??

[Miko]

I’ve purchased #036 from Kev a few years ago with the number plate T67phy from its original LY05CWE.
I’m going to be giving it a ground up restoration this year and am after a new pair of the black seat base numbered stickers as well as the side skirt graphics which are in a bit of a sorry state.
Any information on where I may be able to source these would be much appreciated?

Side skirt stickers are the easy bit - just click on the online shop above.

Yes I’ve found the side skirt ones fairly quickly. Didn’t think a replica of the small black numbered one would be that hard to find. Worse case I may need to find someone to send me a picture of it with a ruler in for a reference and see if I can find a company to make me some up. (Someone changed the seats for buckets and I’m going back to stock and want the plaque for originality)

There was a guy ‘autographics’ on eBay doing them, he also does the elf rear window stickers, under bonnet and filler cap replicas etc, I bought a “just to have” set in 2024, look him up on eBay and send him a message, you just sent him your number 00/500 and he prints them, the ones I got were spot on to be fair

He doesn’t list any now but contact him and he might do you a pair, they were around £16 from memory

I went down this exact rabbit hole last year. I initially contacted Autographics, but he let me know he no longer offers the seat base stickers due to the complexity involved in producing them properly.

After struggling to find anyone else supplying them, I hired someone on Fiverr to create a clean vector file of my original seat sticker (cost me about £6). It worked out really well and I'm happy to recommend the person I used, and I’m also more than happy to share my vector files to help you get started.

Once I had the artwork sorted, it took a bit of trial and error to find the right print supplier. I found that Sticker It produced the closest match using their heavy vinyl sticker range. The thickness is very similar to OEM and the print quality is spot on.

My only slight reservation is that their finish has a mild gloss. I’m not completely certain whether the OEM stickers had a gloss finish or not. It’s close, but worth mentioning if your chasing the original look.

If it helps, I’ve got quite a few #256 seat stickers spare and can send one over for you to check out in person.

I have 16 extra stickers. If you or anyone else would like one to do some real life comparisons, send me a DM and I'll post one out.

This is the person I used on Fiverr to create the vector drawing
