Id like to Chequer Plate beneath the black rubbing/protection strip along the sides of my 300 D1 but with vinyl graphic that looks like Cheque Plate rather than rivetting the ally type, so, anyone know where I can get some?
Cheers

whats the point in using fake stuff :roll: it wont stay like new for 5 minutes use gpr chequerplate instead

You can have a look in the local DIY or Carpet shop. I have seen it used for flooring.
I do tend to agree, why would you want to.... Use the real thing!

I agree, but I'll help you out anyway - B&Q do it in mahoosive rolls for kitchen floors, which by the way is an infinately cooler way of using it than putting it on your truck.
For the cost and messing about, why not just use the real thing? My disco is an XS model and its got the 'bubbles' type vynl graphics and it's staring to peel of now and looks hideous - as yours will very quickly as you wont be able to get it any where near as clean before you apply it as LR had mine on the production line................

Fair points folks, I meant stuff more like a quality " sticker" in thickness rather than a couple of mil..................bad idea Ill just leave it - the truck is too good to drill holes and use Ally - just wanted the look..............If it was a rusty shed I wouldnt be so bothered...........thanks for the replies tho........

when i started reading the thread i assumed you meant vinyl as in stickers which you clearly do and to be honest i dont think it would look that bad as some sign writers have programs with vehicle dimensions and can cut them to the exact size and fit them perfectly.
what ever were you lot thinking i mean who puts lino on their cars lmao :lol:

Try amari plastics and vinyl corporation. They are my usual places to look, try an internet search for these as I know they both have sites ;)
