    hey oop, sorry to be on the asking twice in one day, i wnt and saw a customer yesterday about doing a vw caddy vaan, i took all the photo’s needed, but forgot to take a measurement from it, it’s a 2001 vw caddy sdi, the one with a box type back on it,

    i dont need the outline or owt, just a measurement of a door length or something ! thanks. Hugh

    Hi Hugh

    This wont be of any help to you today but this is a nice trick for the future.

    I would like to say that I invented this but I can’t because Mareck told me about it.

    What we have done is cut a piece of magnetic material and cover it in contrasting checks.
    Ours is 500mm x 100mm with 50mm checks in red and white.

    Next time you go to photograph a vehicle, just stick the mag to the side of the car and take your picture.
    When you get back to the office it is simple to scale the photo because you know the size of the magnetic

    Don’t worry about the back as most numberplates are 520mm long

    dreckly
