Title: Decal
Post by: mike the bike on April 06, 2019, 03:13:24 PM: Not happy right now. I'm cleaning up the bike ready for the Llanishen show in Cardiff, bought some Gunk, jet washing the stuff off when my side panel decal disintegrated. I just hope classicreproductiondecals can get a replacement to me by Friday.
