Sign/plaque etc to cover damage (1 Viewer)

[CazPaul]

Any ideas on what to cover this up with, it was on 4 years ago when we bought the van. It’s just a plastic round circle screwed on underneath the top cover to cover up a crease. It’s only little about an inch across but I want something better.

I was thinking of a little Concorde sticker or plaque or even something not Concorde related.

Any ideas?

Could I get something made up, a small rectangular bit of metal and then stick a Concorde emblem on or something?

How big is it? Diameter ? And where on your van is it,rear,side?

 

[NicM]

Is it on the outside? Not sure how big it is but have used stick on reflectors before now.

Just over an inch

Yes in the middle of the garage door the photo won’t upload from a distance

As said ,I would use a stick on reflector .Remove the screw cap .clean the area ,fill any holes and stick on a reflector.

You could always stick on a dummy round vent but not sure if you would find the colour to suit .

Nice one they look great, I can’t see if they are just stickers or are they a plastic/composite material?

A thin sticker would show the bit of damage?

Edit I see it says on the title, brilliant thankyou so much for finding them.

It says they're domed so I think they have some thickness,usually stuck on alloy wheel centres,I've been looking for some for our Carthago without success

Yes if they have a bit of thickness and if the rear dome is hollow then I could take the top bit of plastic off what’s on now and leave the backing plastic on and just stick it over the top. Perfect

Thanks, it’s already got one of the bottom door latches you linked to on, standard on Concordes, I think another will look odd.

 

[M-J]

Get a piece of vinyl cut similar to the bit already on the door, follow the same shape/design and just stick it on after you clean up the area.

Circular air vent??

 

[Southdowners]

What is it? Can you have it removed, filled and sprayed to match?

A domed emblem would do the job mate. I've covered many damaged areas on vehicles over my 40 years in signwriting. I don't do domes though, sorry.

Yes thought of that one too, it’s just a bit of round plastic covering a tiny bit of damage

 

[Landy Andy]

paint it as an eye, and get some sticky back plastic.

We had these on our eura mobil locker door's. Bob.

It’s probably in a place that would look odd having a randomly placed emblem or decal. Do you know the extent of the damage?

Just a little crease and a screw hole where the plastic has been put on.

 

[Southdowners]

It’s a shame they’ve put that ugly plastic on it… I wonder if it was just a temporary fix? I should think it will be fairly cheap to get fixed. Would somewhere specialising in scratch and dent repairs be able to repair it?

You could get some stickers that say 'this vehicle is alarmed' etc and put on on the door and other lockers etc, we've done that with our MH (not to hide dings etc), they wouldn't then be out of place on a MH.

We've still got a 6" horizontal scratch on our large garage door from when the dealer's fitter accidentally caught it with a drill bit when he walked by but so far haven't bothered with it as it's just cosmetic but if I see a suitable sticker I'll sort it.
