Decal Placement
- Thread starter polaris68
- Start date
Attached are both stickers I could find that resemble that, one is the fuel door and the other on the passenger side fender, yours looks more like a fuel door sticker but if it doesnt fit....are you sure it's the correct one for your car?

I think it's a euro decal, someone will have to weigh in that has one. Steve posted the typical US tire decals and their locations. It may go near the VIN tag on a euro car but that is where the DOT/EPA stickers go. No one sells the gas door sticker but you can trim it in half cut the top off and shorten it and then attach in two pieces.

Decal with spelling mistakes
Polaris68
The decal should be placed in the engine bay on the right hand side. However, the decal is not a correct copy as there are many spelling mistakes in the German part. Try first to get a correct one.
Pls take a look at the fourth picture via the link below. You can see the decal behind the air filter:

You can see it here but with one too many "f"s in Reifenlufdruck. The car now has a "single f" Reifenlufdruck sticker. {:>)

And only found there on a euro delivery coupe I believe as this example is a CSL. Dirk, your photo is from a CSi as I see the airbox in the photo. Does your 2800CS euro have one as well?

This is what I had on my Euro 2800 CS. I doubt that it was the original.
It is not logical that this decal is placed under the hood. Placing it on the inside of the fuel door makes much more sense. Why should one have to open the hood to figure what the air tire pressure is supposed to be or the octane of the fuel ?
In my case the decal should have been cut in half and only the English or the German part should have been used (on the inside of the fuel door), the other half should have been discarded.

Dirk,
Actually yours does look original and later CSi coupes have had it in that same position. The 3.0 decal has a title line that spans both sides of the decal (unlike the 2800) requiring it to be cut off and repositioned over the bottom half. Does your gas door also have a decal?

I had to close my eyes, it is sad to see a CSL or any coupe in this bad of a condition.
