The Ford Capri Laser Page

Doe anyone know of someone that can print old car dealer window stickers? I'm looking for one for Soans of Leamington Spa? (Former Ford Dealer). Cheers.

Update.
Although the first sticker DMB Graphics did for me was superb, I later found out that I'd submitted a design which was about 5 yrs out.
However, a chance online chat with a fellow laser owner yielded some positive news. His car was supplied new by the same dealer, only a few months apart from mine and still has the original, albeit tired, dealer sticker on it!
A couple of photos/measurements later and another request to Dave at DMB and he produced another superb copy.
Big thanks to Dave at DMB Graphics and a sticker is on it's way to my fellow laser owner up north!

Hi Nige,
I know that DMB graphics do a selection.

If yours isn't listed on the website, I must admit that I haven't had time to check, they may still be able to make one up if you can send a photograph of an original. If you are not sure, give them a call to check.
I had one made up years ago with the dealer number plates and tax disc holder (how old fashioned is that now? )
The window sticker is good quality, it has held up well and has not faded at all from the effects of sunlight.

AS Andrew says, DMB are definately worth a try Nige.

They used to do dealer plates, tax disc holder and rear screen sticker, but have stopped doing plates now due to the extra hassle with new privacy laws/rules etc

Excellent Andrew will have a look. Ahh yes the old tax disc holder; halcyon days.

Nice one Andy. Shame about the plates though. Sign of the times though eh.

Update: Dave At DMB Graphics Ltd has kindly offered to make one and for a very decent price too. The whole ordering process was carried out so quickly and efficiently. Amazing.

That's great news Nige!
Hopefully you'll post a photo of it on here when you receive it.
As said, the DMB stuff is great quality, I'm sure you'll be pleased with it.

Will do Andrew.

I misunderstood this thread at first and thought someone was actually selling "Old Car Dealer On Board" stickers for retired motor traders.

Nice one
Spoke to DMB and they didn't know of anyone that does them now....

The DMB dealer ones were good, but I prefer the metal pressed ones anyway.

I have dealer stamped plates on the Capri, but I'm concerned the space between the A and 8 is too wide....Sent a pic to my MOT man for him to confirm. So may need a new set which my mate can get done but not with the dealers name.

According to the DVLA leaflet INF104, the gap between the age identifier and random numbers must be 30mm.

Thanks Andrew,
Copied this from the link;
Number plates fitted before 1 September 2001
The characters on number plates fitted before 1 September 2001 must meet the size requirements;

Space between the age identifier and random numbers 38mm

Mine is 27mm between the bottom of the A< and the beginning of the >8, so I assume that's ok.....

That's how I would measure the gap too. So, your plate should be perfectly legal.

Andrew, it was MOT'd this year with them on so can't be a major issue.
Was looking at your pics and the A and 3 are much closer and look more correct though
