Styling Where did you get the Italian Flag Decal?

[macdebbie]

I'm wondering where some of you are getting the Italian wing badges (flag)?

Maybe it's not available here in the US yet...:-( I don't see it on our configurator - fiatusa.com

Anyone want to ship one to me??

LOVE my Bella - will post pictures this weekend.

Will 500 Madness ship to the US?

Considering the fact that they are in the US......

Wow, tough crowd!!

Sorry, it looked like the site I was on and tried to order them (UK site) and when it got to the end it said they could not ship to the US.

Thanks for the site - all ordered.

Now I'll just have to make sure I don't put them on upside down! LOL!

How do you affix these to the car?

 

[bgunn]

They're self adhesive - they have a trim adhesive pad on the rear.

What's the trick to getting the decal level - let the dealer do it? Not sure they will since I bought it elsewhere since they don't offer it.

 

[RUI]

I think the come with a template

What's the trick to getting the decal level

Whenever I'm doing something like this, I start by positioning it on the car (without removing the backing pad) using a removable adhesive - blu-tack is one choice most of us will have lying around. When I'm happy with the position, I use low tack masking tape to mark out guidelines on the car. Remove the blu-tack & backing pad, stick the decal on permanently, then remove the guide tape.

I wish I were that methodical. But good advice JR.

At first I thought that a little 'level' would be worthwhile using - but the car would have to be on a level surface - so JRs method is the best. I hope the pictures are useful.

Tbh RUI's techqnique is best as there is a template provided with he badges

That should make it easy. I have a habit of just 'going for it'. At least it's not like 'sticking' a bevelled mirror over a sink. One slip and you've either chipped the mirror or you looking at a crocked mirror everytime you're having a shave in the morning.

Blu-tack = poster putty (just in case). I just love household Goop

Not to be an idiot (and yes the pictures were helpful, but I can't see much of the car) - the red faces to the front of the car?

Only for one side! The Italian flag is like this:

so the green goes to the left (whichever side you are on).

Otherwise you end up with a half Irish car....

Some people have the strange argument that the green should be towards the front of the car on both sides as if it were a presidential limo flying flags. Seriously..... wtf??????

As RobinPJ said, the green should be to the left on both sides.
