    Done

    I did these at 240mm x 65mm so there's some bleed (trim) but can reduce the size if needed. The files linked are vector files (infinitely scalable) and editable with the right software, so any sticker shop can hack at it if needed,

    Adobe Illustrator file link
    EPS File link
    Adobe PDF link
    And a high res' JPG link

    I hosted these from my dropbox account... I'm hoping its a straight download and they dont spam you to death. If there's another option for hosting files let me know and I'll send them there.

    I've done an engine cover sticker for my AWD Sports. The catch was the damn font they used in "Sports". All I had to go on was a crappy low res JPG and the embroidered text on my seats. The link HERE shows as good as I could get with what little I had. If you've got a good, clear, top down photo of the actual "Sports" wording I'm sure I can get closer to the original.... so, yes, if you've got a pic' I can do the sticker.

    One other (corny) thing I did was Ralliart type build number stickers for both my GTVi and Doddski's AWD Verada. I plan on doing the same for the AWD Sports. These stickers are the same size/layout as the Ralliart build No. stickers, I just change the logo. For the "build number" I used the last three digits from the VIN Corny I know, but they didnt look too bad.

    I can upload the vectors for this type of sticker for every "badged" Magna (example; GTVi, Xi, Sports) and then leave the numbering space blank... the font there is just helvetica bold so any sticker shop could add your custom build number. By memory I had a dozen of each sticker (Doddski's and mine) done for $20 on a nice high gloss stock. Shop around and I imagine you could get these done much cheaper.

    And finally, one project I have to start yet is replacing the sticker in front of my shifter (the instructions for the shift lock) so I can repaint the center console piece. Once I have that done I'll put a link somewhere for that also. If there are any other factory type stickers you need replaced just drop a photo I'll do what I can... provided I'm not infringing on any heavy duty copyright laws. And just check first the genuine price isnt the cheaper option first.

    EDIT Added this LINK to show my GTVi custom stickers. I used this same art to have the grill badge cut from stainless.

    Does anybody have a photo of a Sports engine cover? Kinda keen to do my Sports AWD cover sticker as close to original as possible.

    The extra is the bleed chief. The stuff that gets trimmed off. This way, for example, if the sticker is printed on white or silver you can trim it back to the original size. If you took it to a sticker shop they'd bill you to add bleed. Without bleed you run the risk of the sticker being cut to size and having a slight edge that shows the stocks original colour.

    I will add crop marks though, with your dimensions, so it can be trimmed properly.
