Check out Dave Patek, Performance car graphics in Florida for some accurate graphics. That may give you a template or you may even find one close enough to meet your needs :thumbright:

Andy, have you thought about painting it?

a. You get the coulour / shade you want
b. no shrinkage in the sun
c. won't catch polish when you clean it or dirt when you use it.

I got my stripe from US ebay - it was about $50 I think. Size/shape/fit were excellent but there were only about 5 colour choices. Might be worth a try - cheaper option if you dont like it and want to rip it off.

Might be worth having a word with Hugh Potter. He's supplied Mopar decals in the past and is back on the board as MoparManUk.

If you want a factory correct one. You need the correct file to cut out. I looked into buying these a while back, but would of cost me thousands!

Options are..... get your man to do some rough ones and pay till you like it.

Get a rubbing from an exiting car, make up file in correct application, then cut.

Buy a factory correct one, take dimensions from that and do as above.

Buy the file to cut from a US supplier, give that to your man.

Cheapest option is to buy a white one, use that. OR buy a white one, and pearlise that.

Hope that helps Andy.
