Was there someone on here who has their own/access to a plotter which can cut vinyl decals? I think it was Leighton but I don't want to send random e-mails to the wrong person!
Anyone know? Can anyone help?

Ah right, I've e-mailed Ian asking about it. Can I e-mail you what I sent to Ian to the address in your profile to see if you can help me? It's only a little graphic, something like 300mm x 300mm

Black is cheap and the size of the bonnet is easy to weed 
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Ian said he was a bit concerned about the size of it as it could be a bit small for their plotter. Do you think you'd be able to do it? Here are the files:

You'll need to right click save as the DXF if you need it as my web server isn't configured correctly for that file type. I also don't really need it weeding, just cutting

Your pushing it on the size there, most plotters would eat that up!

I'm sure someone out there can do it, I've seen smaller lettering done before, but I suppose the font could cause an issue as it's pretty narrow.

Smallist lettering I have done was 4mm that was proper ballache to weed. What size is the lettering on that?
Steve black ring map upto 600mm wide would be £8 posted in a postal tube.

It's roughly 11mm tall, though the characters are about 1mm thick. To clarify, I need the letters weeding out to make a stencil, but I can do that myself anyway if needs be.
Just to get an idea, it's for a lightbox that looks like this:

In black, and if you think you can do it, please give it a go and let me know 
If it's any help, here's the graphic with a bolder typeface:
