I have been pretty much locked out of for some time so if someone has posted about this forgive me.
I am just waiting for delivery of some Decals from a company called F'artifice. Should solve a part of the tyre markings as well as the burn water (Johnnie Walker) decals.
Just google them or Ebay under lemans-88
It might pay to search for "Twill" rather than carbon fibre/fiber
On the subject of Tyres it has been suggested elsewhere to paint the grooves to denote tyre grades, I have done mine with Pin Striping Tape, 'cos I think paint will yellow with time on the tyre material.

I guessed so, but as I say, seem unable to keep a login going here so have spent sometime in the wilderness and if I was honest I was just to lazy to check the posts, just really quite excited to be able to post anything at all. Thanks anyway for reminding me of my abject idleness!!!!!!

F'artefice Decals Carbon Metallic Surface Grey 4L 1:8 / 1:12
From Ebay, I intend to wait for the kit ones to compare but I was more interested in using this on the parts the deAg don't appear to cater for.
