    Did this today, for a friends take away. (IE free)
    Took about 40 minutes, to measure up and fit.

    All applied dry, in blue crystal etch.

    I had cut enough for 4 windows but when I got there one was blocked with rail mounted menus and couldn’t be accessed, that’s why the phone number doesn’t really fit where it had to go, but hey he didn’t have to pay anyway, he loved it anyway.

    Ive taken some from outside and some from inside and reversed them,
    The windows were difficult to photograph because of the reflections at the location

    Very nice, clean & tidy.
    This sort of job never makes for a good portfolio though – photographing it is a nightmare as you found!

    Oh tell me about it, I only had a point and shoot camera as well, not my usual SLR, at least I can use wide angles etc and a bit of trickery usually, but there was just too many reflections
    Thanks for the comment though, appreciate it.

    Steve I’m sure it looks good in real life, looks good anyway, photo’s of glass never seem to work well

    The idea was he used to have an illuminated sign above the shop, but since it changed hands he has removed the halo lit letters, so now its vinyl on holed drilled dibond 😕
    He wanted the etch on the windows so people can see its an indian restaurant as it didn’t now say this on the sign, its at night it should look best when there’s no reflections to see, that’s the idea anyway.
    Ill have to go get a night time photo.

    Seeing as I did the window for free, I bought a bag of free curry home, last night.
    as I did last time I went.
    Its a mate anyway so he doesn’t mind.
    I don’t mind swapping 10 quids worth of vinyl for 25 quids worth of curry, the 40 minutes fitting I would have spent waiting for it anyway I suppose.
    Chicken tikka Jalfrezi x2,
    Chicken tikka madras x1
    Chicken tikka dansak x1
    2 egg rice
    Mixed kebab starter, peshwari nan, 4 pots of chutney and pickles, poppadoms, and Bobs your uncle.
    Not a bad haul.
