Spent hours and hours scouring online peugeot sites finding all the letters then resized and repositioned them individually until it looked right. The "k" was an absolute bugger to find, it's a good job that some obscure countries call the 307 estate the "break".

Here's my "research sheet" :shock:

I think that looks good as it is.

Besides, as you say it's got 2 match your plates :cheesy:
I don't really understand why but they can't use jpeg files to produce cut vinyl stickers. I think they need an outline only format called "vector" or something? I dunno, it's all beyond me :|

Wow... quite a bit of work went into that then! Hm.... I am sure there's programs around which will convert image files into proper fonts.

Ah... well if you can create the letters as vectors and save them as whatever file format they accept, then you'll be OK. Do you know which file formats then accept? Then I can create vectors out of these... or Niz, since he's a graphics bod.

personally i'd be quite happy to pay £2 each :wink:
