Default Finally got myself a Monte sticker

Geek alert!!!
After a long search and paying through the nose I have my hands on the imfamous Monte Carlo sticker.. (thanks to RS1800)
The only problem is I'm not sure if I can get the guts to stick it to the car window!



Out of interest was this the only reference to the Monte in terms of a brochure??

It cost me loads mate.... and constant emails but it was worth it to me as I'm a Geek

Damo the sticker logo is on the back on the brochure I'll scan that and give you the measurements of the sticker, bare with me as I'm useless at stuff like this so I'll get my bro to do it

I had thought about getting replicas made from it but I wouldn't know where to start

Erm it never ends mate but this year I hope to finally get the 18" OZ Mags sorted. Get the Koni shocks and Ahmed springs I have fitted. A stage 3 conversion. Some how find the money for a set of AP 6pots.

Still have a few tidying jobs like the front splitter and stone deflector but its all getting there

A scan of the sticker back to front will be fine I reckon, it will just be the wrong colour, but should give good detail hopefully aswell as what you said and an overall length of the sticker to the outside of the white edge.. actually I'll email you a diagram

Nah dont get replicas made But if I can sort it and it aint too dear I'll get you one that way you can keep the orig safe

Dunno which window thou

Ideally I'd say in the middle of the rear window at the top but that means losing my original dealer sticker which I'm not keen on doing so fook knows

Damo will get my bro on the case

I don't actually know I've only ever heard of one car that had it fitted and that was in the rear window but I don't know where. Like everything with the Monte's it all rumors and whispers I heard that all the Montes had them in the glove box?? but my guess is that where two seperate items that just happen to look good and meaningful together So I don't think it matters THB as they where never dealer fitted IMHO unless anyone knows different???

I think it was more of a publicity thing and the sticker was just a sticker given out with the brochure at the motor show or dealers etc to commemorate the win... IMO they werent ever given away with the cars.. As Paul says though unles someone else can confirm different

Funny thing is the brochure doesn't mention the Monte Esc Cos at all but not bothered as I only wanted the sticker

Thats what I mean, there never was a brochure for the ECos "Monte" (again AFAIK)

Its a brochure to commemorate the MC win IMO...

Paul, if I were you I would get some exact replicas made, cause there cannot be many of the original ones left now; - give one each to Damo and the Radman then remove your dealer sticker and put the monte one in the top center. I know if I was still looking for a monte to buy, as sad as it sounds that would be a real selling point.

Paul this may sound sad, but go and take a picture of your rear window so we can see the 'dealer' sticker?
