Hey fellas.
I had a sticker made at a signwriters shop, from a CorelDRAW file I made on my computer, and stuck it onto my engine cover. It has the Opel symbol with 'OPEL DOHC' next to it. Looks trick in real life. You could make whatever you wanted to stick on there, and do the same thing. Hasn't bubbled, and it's been on there for about a year. Actually, I think the engine heat may have permanently melted it to the cover!
