Badges and stickers

A few finishing touches to the days work for today.

Here is an original petrol flap sticker, which is actually a very thin sheet of aluminium foil. These were factory fitted items and it would have been sold in the UK with a sticker like this. So ours is having one.

Lift the petrol flap.















And if you buy a remade sticker, make certain that you peel the backing OFF the sticker and not the other way around. If you try to peel the sticker off, it will curl or crease.

No great amount of care was taken when the original stickers were fitted and you often see them at all kinds of strange angles. Just for the sake of it, I've put ours on as straight as possible.















For adding the legshield badges, please see the post on the sidepanels. Fitting these badges is carried out in exactly the same way.

Starting to look like a proper Lambretta now.
