The subscription model #6 number font is not the correct shape to match the actual car photo from 1969, can anyone recommend a decal maker maker to correct this?

Hi there,

I used this company when I completed my E Type, bit fiddly but very effective.

Chris has shown where you can get registration plates which isn't what is wanted - good link for the future though.

The actual correct 'number 6' race number decals are here:

Roy's replacement decals work great; correct size, color and font. well worth the effort. To insure the old font did not show through I removed the factory tamponed roundel and number with acetone-this takes off the tampos easily but doe not harm the blue body color.Two decals were applied to get the proper roundel 'white' as the decals area bit thin.

Hello John.
They look really nice but the black circle outline on the roundel wasn't on the actual car.
