We were given a wheel cover last Christmas which has one of our own photos printed on it.
I had mine designed and produced at a banner printers in Broome.
I supplied the ordinary plain spare wheel cover, they designed the graphic, printed it on to banner vinyl, and then they took it to the local upholsterer who sewed it onto the wheel cover.
I wouldn't think you'd go to Broome to have it done, but you may be able to order by mail/email. B K Signs did mine.
I would think anyone in the banner printing business could help you.
With the computers these blokes use it seems nothing is impossible.
Your own photos, a family slogan, a nickname or anything else you'd like to display - check them out.
The most expensive part of the deal is designing and setting up the type graphic.
Have fun with that. I do.

Similar to you Granny ours was done by a caravan repair depot here in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Material supplied by the company. The design is taken from the caravan design to more or less match but they will do anything you want (within reason!!!!) Perhaps there is a caravan repair place near by that can help you out Rosey. Cost to us was $90 much the same as most places. As Granny said getting the design is the hard but fun bit. Good luck. Sorry about the size of the photo I got carried away!! Terro

Geez Bazzer, when I first looked at that I thought that it was a material sample for a new awning.
There ain't too many of the hoi poloi who would recognise the reference.
As a non combatant, it would not mean much to me either.

Saw a bumper sticker once which had the ribbons as pictured and the words "Uc Dailoi" Sorry cant spell it...I am Australian I think it means in Vietnamese. You'll remember it!
Doesnt matter that not many recognise it...the people who do will understand.

The ribbon stickers I can do, in fact I did up a batch for some Vets on here who had been in some odd places.....Getting them to be UV resisitant is the trick.
