Hey everyone,
I am wondering whether anyone knows the size and font of the TORANA front apron decal which were on the A9X's. They are available from rares, though I was wondering if anyone knows of the correct font and size as I am looking to get a sticker made up in exactly the same size and style, though saying TORAILER, obviously for my torailer.
Any help would be appreciated,

Mitch

To be honest, I've never looked into the font. I was going to a few years ago, but then Rares started redoing them much better than previous efforts, though still not 100% correct. I'd say you will need to take it somewhere as suggested.

Gday Mick,

Nah mate there is no major rush for it... It is one of those features which I am hoping to get made up for the torailer. Even if it takes a couple of days, weeks of months (before around June), I would be more than grateful if you are able to come up with something which is similar to the font and size of the front apron decal.

Cheers,
Mitch

No Probs Mitch,

If I can get a good run at it, I can't see it taking too long.

I have made a start on the basic letter shapes..
