How much would it be for 2 identical small ones? I have 2 rear doors on my van both about 15" square. A small backflash with just 'CF' on each about 3" or 4" high would be ace. Ill have a measure and see what size would work. They would be £8.00 inc for the pair, let me know if you're interested and I'll get them made up cheers Mark

I bought one for my Mk2 Fezz, but it seems to be longer than the screen it's self (it's like 40 inches, but the back flash is 45'') and the striping doesn't seem as long as others, as opposed to the font its self.

All the backflashes are made 1250mm wide, this allows the stripes to be trimmed to suit, the remaining length of the stripes will be different for each car depending on the length of the text obviously.

Got my CF ones fitted, looks ace, pic in my build thread.
For future reference though, and maybe to help others, can you give some fitting tips?
I followed the instructions. Cleaned window thoroughly with panel wipe. Misted window with soapy water, positioned sticker then started squeezing the water out with a credit card.
But even after 10 mins of HARD squeegeeing, when I tried removing the backing it just kept peeling off the sticker. I ended up having to hold the sticker on the window with the credit card while I peeled the backing off and had to cut the backing into loads of pieces so I could keep it all in the right place. I even had one section just fall off. Even after hard squeegeeing the sticker itself onto the glass if the backing touched it again it pulled the sticker off again.
I got it on eventually, seems ok, but was a nightmare to do.
What did I do wrong?
Too much soap (used a couple of drops of dish soap)?

Glad to hear your flashes look good, sorry to hear you had a bit of a drama fitting them, there could have been a little to much soap, just a small drop is enough, just to make the water slippery. The key really is to leave the graphics to dry properly before removing the application paper, hours not minutes when the temperature is cold, in the summer you could remove the paper after about 30 minutes and it should be fine. I think you didn't leave them to dry properly before trying to remove the paper, glad you got them sorted in the end.

I'll get a pic once mine is fitted I had a bit trouble last time trying to get it straight and in line! I measured and put bits of masking tape on the outside to give me somewhere to aim at when putting the decal on the inside.

Hope everyone is keeping busy with their cars, it will soon be show season again.
Just a quick note to say I'm still making these Backflashes, there is a large selection in my eBay shop, if you search for my seller id - mtgraphicsandover - or I can make them bespoke for you.
All the best. Mark
