Subject: Re: [ASC McLaren ] Coupes without stripes

Body:
Yews, Brent an orange ascMcLaren decal should be on the tailgate
hatch door just a a full packaged coupe would have. Rear spoilers on
EuroCoupes were not painted, (for the most part).....
EuroCoupes were black, or white, or medium grey metallic. They also
had a very small decal (ascMcLaren) on the outside of the plexiglas
1/4 window (the black ones that asc installed). The location was the
lowest edge and close to the "B" pillar. THAT is/was the same decal
that had been used on the dash panel of the 1984 coupes. asc was not
really sure WHERE to stick them!!
