205 Gti Advert Files (A3)

[Pugleyrich 37 1 Cars]

Hello,

Does anyone have A3 or larger retro 205 GTI adverts? I know you can buy A3 prints on eBay of the classic adverts but I'm looking to make some into a canvas print. I have looked in the downloads section of PSCUK but can't see any.

Thanks

There is some on one of the french forums, but they're in french

I don't suppose you have any links? Not too worried if they are in French, just want something that looks good. Thanks

I had a look on there and can't see any old adverts (unless I'm missing something!) Thanks for the link though. Really looking for the rally bred/less bread advert and the wolf in wolfs clothing one. Does anyone have a large PDF or similar for any of these that they could email?

Thanks for that link. They're great. Some good pics for the shed.

Do you see all the sales brochures?

 

found these too on net which I hadn't seen before

Nowhere near enough resolution on that to print it, certainly not at A3 odd size!

Can the resolution be increased by doing a screen capture?

[Anthony 1,003]

No, you'll need the original high-resolution scanned image.

 

To get enough resolution to print something A3 size you're looking at an image that'll be several times bigger than your desktop monitor. I imagine a canvas will be more forgiving than a glossy print, but either way, you won't get very far with an 600x400 odd image as it'll just be a pixelated mess.

[dobboy 231 2 Cars]

Cool.

 

Not sure how it works but I just screen captured it and doubled the size, saved as BMP and it doesn't look too bad.... text is a bit fuzzy right enough.

 

It's too big to upload to TinyPic

[Pugleyrich 37 1 Cars]

Thanks for your efforts. I think I've found everything of use on Google etc and I don't think the resolution will be good enough. I might try to put some of the brochure covers together to make a larger picture. Would be good to know if anyone has any ads with a high resolution or the ability to blow up an ad whilst retaining some quality (using some Photoshop skills perhaps!?)

[dobboy 231 2 Cars]

Pugley, PM me your email address and i'll send you the one a resized if I can, it looks not too bad.

You cannot blow up an image to give a good quality large print if the resolution isn't there in the first place.
