Hey guys, I'm looking for some examples of cars (preferably e36, but any will work) that feature a decal under the wing element. Such examples include: "M Power", "BMW Motorsport", & "ORIGINAL BMW TEILE"

Here are a few

It does look good, and it probably doesn't make a noticeable difference on CR cars - but - (don't you love buts?) in the big leagues, that is a big no-no - everything you see on those F1 cars would be painted there. The underside of any wing is pretty sensitive area, and stacking up 1mm+ of decals does make a difference.

Would I put one there on my CR car? Hell yes, I think it looks great. But you would be better off, aero wise, to have a negative decal cut and paint the logo onto the wing.

I'd definitely be down for it, I actually pm'd NakNak since he did something similar and said it got them from ebay. The two examples I could find were:

BMW Motorsport: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=021&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=310033310098&rd=1 (large)

However I can't seen to find the "BMW Power" one...

I'm down for "BMW Motorsport" in black, sized to fit under a LTW wing if anyone feels like putting something together.

Well the one I linked to eBay is ~30 shipped and fits like this:

I made and cut this one out for my MA Shaw rear spoiler when I had it on the car.

Probably going to have to make another one once I get my car back with the new wing on it.

Anyone know what official font it is and where to find it? A local vinyl shop could never get it totally right.The font is a proprietary font from Adobe called "BMW Helvetica". There are actually a couple different variations (bold, condensed, etc...)
For those who do know me, (I'm the one in the red hat leaning on ///Mracer's car in the pics above) I used to work for a BMW dealership and I have my own graphic design/sign biz. I have done decals for some of our local NASA drivers.
I have all the BMW fonts and if enough people want decals, I could do better then $30 shipped form eBay. I use high performance Oracal 751 (German made) vinyl and have tons of black and white in stock.

Scho is THE man. He has cut/applied every decal on my car, as well as painting my helmet. I'll take a picture of both tomorrow if anyone needs shots of his work. He has extensive experience in wrapping cars, and actually now does some work in graphics with some little "redneck" race outfit.

He can also provide you with the BEST NASCAR post-race response ever. He makes me feel good after a race that the car wasn't "prepared" well, when in actuality I suck!

Jesse was kind enough to measure his wing today for me for my max. sizing (40" x 5.5"). Everybody check to see if we're in the same ballpark.
What I going to do this evening is cut two samples, to size, one that is "BMW Power" and one that is "BMW Motorsport". I then I'll post the pics, prices and contact info. Like I mentioned, I do have good stock of black and white, but not sure I have enough silver to do any right now. If a few more people want silver or any other colors, I can order more rolls.

I also will post a feeler pic of another E36 vinyl racing product I might sell as well :devillook
Stay tuned and thanks for the interest.

Sorry for the flash, it's late and dark outside. Anyway here's the pic of the two decals in white.
-the top one is 37" long and the letters are 4.5" tall
-the bottom is 37.5" long and 3.25" tall

Again, this a true BMW font on Oracal 751, high performance, 8 year vinyl. Black or white for now unless I get enough interest for other colors. Please e-mail me for price and other info.
Thanks.

I want to thank everybody for their orders so far. Looks as if I'll be busy for the next few nights. This isn't really a "group buy", I'm just trying to pass along a good deal for fellow BF.c members.

One quick reminder, please measure the amount of room your wing has. Looks as if the MA Shaw wings only have 36" so I will scale them down to roughly 34"-35".

Thanks again.
