The AF set is £110 plus £30 if you want them to fit it.
They are painful to communicate with, and timescales can get ridiculously long if designing new graphics, but the quality is second to none, and I've tried loads out there. They were the only ones able to do the graphics for my Gold Leaf Team Lotus bike to the standard I wanted, but I do dread it if I need any others :-?

Thanks for the info mate :)

Makes you wonder - especially in these hard times - how some businesses manage to keep going! Maybe it isn't a full-time business if they are this bad at communicating with their customers!? :?

Anyway, I've sent them an email, so we'll see how long it takes them to reply ;)

What i've asked them, via email, is are the logos/text (ie. AF, Team Rayspeed, Stage 4, 58mm stroke, DTC etc.) all supplied as separate graphics, or are they actually part of the main graphic block (if that makes sense?)??

The reason I ask is that - not having an AF kitted scoot - i'd like to use the main block graphics on the front and rear panels/legshields/mudguard etc., but then add some different logos/text, which I would purchase separately.

Maybe Bazman would know and could reply :) as I'm still waiting to hear from them?? :roll:

Thanks,

Tom :)

Didnt know you could get the graphics for the the main part, thought it was only the words...? i have done a DTc style on my scoot but with paint. I looked at lots of different DTC paint schemes and there do seem to vary, so i just put my own take on it.

Anyway heres my attempt. Col at Garageworks will be doing some lettering on them when i have some spare cash, done a pukka job on the toolbox door.....good work fella.... :D

Tom, either way, they will be able to cut or print whatever you would like onto the main body of the graphics ;-)

Sef, are these the panels you painted yourself?

Yes they are, took me 4 goes in the end but all the mistakes were my fault. If i was to do them again they would turn out pukka, providing i didnt repaet my errors... :D I have got good feedback on them but when you have done it yourself you notice the bits that could have been better done even if others dont... :D

Im waiting on some more paint then loop and leggies. Have to say i have enjoyed the whole process and would reccomend people trying it.
