European COTY 1990 sticker..They have arrived!!!

Post by russ92xmsed » Mon Jul 01, 2013 11:58 am

Would anyone have a good picture of the European car of the year sticker Citroen used on the early XM's? I am helping Vince with investigating if it is feasible to have some new ones printed. I have recreated what I think it looks like, but cannot for the life of me find what the original looked like to compare. If anyone has one still on their boot glass, a simple photo would be great.

Thanks

Hi Robert, if you can find it and just take a pic, that would be very helpful.

I'm not quite sure yet how this will pan out. If there is demand for the stickers then maybe a group order might be the way to go. Not sure. Need to find out what the original is like, then find a company that can print them in the same way. Cost will ultimately dictate this idea! ;)

Ahh Russ, We had PM's over this a while Ago. I think it was Vince who was looking into this..

Anyway. My Landlord has STILL got one of these Car of The Year stickers in his back window of his SED XM...!!

Paul can you measure it for me and take a pic if possible. If Robert can't find his, I'll need your source to get the design right.
It was Vince who was interested in getting new ones done. We had a chat about it yesterday.

As I have said above...it will be the printing price that might be the tricky bit and dictate if it is viable or not.

Brilliant! Thanks Paul. :D
That is very different to what I was expecting. Easy to do though.
Next issue is getting the correct size of it.

I want one now!!!

Excellent...it is now roughly laid out. I just need accurate dimensions for it and then it can be set out properly.
