    Here is the tyre placard, just need to sort out the font sizing.
    done in powerpoint, this is simple as it has no pictures.
    the reason for using powerpoint is it come with office which most people have

    if any one wants to help out by generation one sticker that would speed things up.

    Edit:
    Rev3 of tyre placard uploaded


    Just need to fix the A in celica & the S in SEE

    used photoshop

    took me about 20 minutes, the rest of the cleaning up and such is such a PITA but if someone wants to go through and clean up all the little bits of grey and make sure all the white is white and the lines are straight go for it.

    my view is, the thing is pretty small anyway so you wont see a lot of the imperfections...

    the other option is to find the font and to go over everything and remake the entire thing...

    I could do it but not using Photoshop, I'd be using AutoCAD and tracing the fonts to get a match (assuming the font can't be matched.

    I also have a friend who is Awesome a Photoshop that may owe me a favour or 2.

    I haven't found any stickers to photograph yet, but I'll get my wish list out, and post it up.

    Cheers

    Missing the TAQ symbol, but looks good otherwise.

    Might be worth getting the correct width of the black sections and use that as a guide to the width of the sticker.

    Being a little pedantic, but the CO at the bottom should have a full stop and comma also.

    and it neeeds a tilda after CO on the idle mixture setting line. the line width on the percent sign is also too big (think all the brackets are too wide). and the 1.0 needs to be closer to the CO.

    Looks damn good though.

    Sneak preview, feedbacks good though.
    Black bars were roughly put up to see the white text, teq's done and I'm having trouble finding a font to suit the commas.

    Your not wrong there, I've looked through the fonts on my computer and can't find one that matches. its rather odd having a squarish top and roundish bottom.

    Before it gets pointed out,
    P/NO.98147. is in the wrong font.
    Anyone reckon the "teq" symbol should be horizontal?

    Tyre placard





    Some of the fonts are wrong here too, will have a look around for something closer.
    I think it’s worth spending a little extra time to get the font right, but as some one said some stickers are small and you would not notice the minor differences

    Good work guys,
    At this rate we should have the completed set in not time.

    Jason (Bluemeanie) should I put you down for the emissions sticker?

    I will keep a project overview of who has the project open in post one this way we can track any changes.

    Yeah, I want all of them, I've only got the one.
    but you'll probably have to have two A4 sheets, one paper, one silver.

    The 18R-G(EU) timing cover ones would be awesome, I'll make 'em up if I can get some photos/measurements.

    Hi,

    I got one for the 18R-G and 18R-GR. It is very faded but maybe you can do something with it. I can neasure it and all, as it is original.

    The 18R-GU is different text and information, but same size sticker.

    Also got to re-fo the one on the brake booster. But that's harder as there is text and also embossed numbers.
