We run into that all the time. Measure off the pavement if it’s level, and that should put your copy right on track.

Hi Jill
A very Big Thanks for Getting me out of the mire recently I have been going to send you a post but you now how it can be sometimes.
Try getting a 1 mt steel rule from B&Q and sticking it to some magnetic
tape then you can put it on the side of the van. Move it around till it looks right then take your measurements from it or use it as a guide.Once again thanks and regards to Steve.

Jill, as Robert has said there are quite a few posts about this so if you do a search you should be able to bring up quite a bit on the subject.
Something I try to do on vans like Combos, Astras, Peugeots etc where you can get these sort of problems is warn the customer before we letter the van, this way they cant come back to you and tell you it is all squint. As has been said in previous posts however you end up measuring it tack the graphics in place step back and check it by eye before applying it. That way it is hard to go wrong. If it looks right by eye then you cant go far wrong. -
Well, Martin’s spot on…..can’t really add any more to that !
Cheers
Joe
