yup those are the ones thanx

thank you thank you

i may be getting a sprite but want them in a non standard colour so suppose i gotta get them custom made?

A couple more pictures but I haven't got the boot decal ,sorry!
I looked into getting some for my 1996 sprite but couldn't find any, although you should be able to have them made up from somewhere from pictures.

There from a mini mag/world copy but I've got them stored on the computer as I was thinking about using them on our car.
I don't think they would scan any better as it's across the two pages, and it would mean searching through our whole mini mag collection!! If no one else comes up with a better picture I'll look over the weekend for you

Thanx
seem like you got the same idea as me
i aint got a mini yet but going to look over a sprite on monday its a 95 but got some retro plans for it if it ends up mine

just doing a tad bit of research duncha know

Ill probably look into getting some made up if i can,i want a different colour anyway so would have to get them made as they were only ever black

Thanx

This is the best that I could find: -

I dont think they had stickers on the back

Take a look at this, you can buy them here - Item number 2, Somerford Clicky

There's more information on this site: -

http://www.minilimitededitions.co.uk/

But still no image of the boot area and boot decal isn't mentioned in the 'Spares Availability' box (unlike other LE's etc). So yes chances are it didn't get a boot decal after all?

Somerford Minis have the side stripes listed, although their described as nimbus grey rather than black: -

I'd imagine Idle Gear could make up a set too?

This, although not 100% clear shows the back

Looks as though the back is clear/no sticker

i posted something like this a while back but didnt get any reply so this was a real help for me too.

[Joloke08]

Thanx guyz for all your help thing is if i get my sprite ill have to find somebody whos made some copies up before,i know theres peeps on here who can make up graphics but without sizes im guessing they will be stumped?

if a graphics maker has allready done some in the past im guessing they will have all the measurements on file somewhere?
if i find anybody ill be sure to let you all know;)

i may have a chat to somerford though as they are only down the road from me
