    Just finished this in time for a photo shoot this morning. Don’t know if we’ll get asked to do anything with the Bentley or Merc but the Ferrari is in the cards for a checkered flag in the wind.

    Did you charge them half price? :lol1:
    I always have to laugh when I see those cars. They have nothing comparable to them here in the states. The new mini cooper is probably the closest.
    If their website was any longer you would have had to put it on two lines! Looks nice.

    From what I’ve been told all Smart Cars are LHD.

    Ferrari is a 355

    Just thought that you can tell we are in Essex.

    Look at the dice hanging from the rear view mirror.

    Nice job, but wonder if the logo might upset Bentley!
    Smart cars were all lhd so start with, and wern’t offically launched in this country in rhd untill two or three years ago.

    Thanks for the comments.

    The files that you kindly converted for me Andrew, I imported into photoshop and then re-sized the image to the actual size to be printed first before importing it into signlab. When I tried re-sizing in Signlab the prints pixelated.

    Naturally, soon after my post saying that I was informed all smart cars are LHD I spotted several RHD models.

    Come to think of it the logo is rather similar to that of a Bentley. Our client supplied the graphics and as one of his cars is a Bentley, and he has an eye for details, I’m sure he is aware.
