VE HSV wheels 'Reverse Mount' stickers - can these be purchased?

[calais190]

I am sand blasting a set of genuine VE GTS wheels with the factory 'reverse mount' stickers on the rear. These will be destroyed from the blasting so I would like to purchase some more stickers to be put back on after the wheels are painted.

Does anyone know if these are sold individually? And if so, where can I get them?

Mate if you can't get original replacement when I restored an old EH I took a high res pic of a sticker and had a sign place print a couple - expensive I know about $25 for a small sticker but it got me out of a jam.
Not sure if they used my pic as guide to re do in their software or what but they came out perfect.

Thanks banpc. I did think about that option. I'm not really after them for originality but more so for when a tyre shop grabs them and has no idea if they're reverse mount until its too late. I may just print some ugly labeller labels for them haha.

For those who have no idea what I'm talking about:

That's a HSV part number on the right hand end of that decal...;)

Not that I have ever seen it but as an alternative to getting new ones, is there something the sand blaster can stick over this area to stop it being blasted off like a piece of double sided tape and a neatly trimmed piece of alluminum or something ? would only need 1 of them, it could be taken from one wheel to the next as he went.

Touche! I'll ring HSV tomorrow and find out the cost.

I am doing the sand blasting myself. To answer your question, yes that is definitely a good way of doing it. I thought about covering them but they would need to be covered when they get powder coated as well. It's pretty difficult not to damage the powder coat while trying to save the stickers with something on top of them so I just sandblasted them right off. It was a lot less fiddly. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Peel them off then reapply when the refurbish it complete or at least price a new one from your local dealer.

How did you go about getting new stickers? I'm about to do exactly the same thing myself and wondering how you went or if you have the number handy, I've just sent my away without checking them, lol.

Ok well I rang hsv and was told that they don't make or sell the labels. Anyone have any ideas. Would have to be a decent label as it was a foil type hard label if that makes sense
