Now thats an interesting thought you have there. Along those lines I would then think that the one shown on GREMLINS headtube is the Japan version as his entire frameset was a Proline II. I could be wrong but I think all the Carreras were USA made which may suggest that the black outline version is from a Carrera. As we can't be definate about this I'm thinkin I'll provide both versions on a decal set once then it's up to each individual as to which one they use!

Thanks for your help guys!

All MK1 Carreras came from Japan, the US frame sets are the ones without the rear brace at the bottom bracket. 

Good idea doing both styles :daumenhoch:

Someone put the details of the stickers on OS BMX or Vintagebmx a few years back, but I can't remember the info :-\

I'll get in my loft tomorrow night and check my Carrera, it still has the factory stickers on it :daumenhoch:

Cheers for the info guys... knew you wouldn't let me down!
A scan of the Japan sticker would be much appreciated tricky!!! I still need scans of the dwntube and seattube decals before I can continue with the work. With regard to the downtube decals, whats the score with the wraparoud situation??? GREMLINS downtube stickers were individual for both sides but you say yours are a wraparound version TRICKY???
I guess when I do them I'll do them as wraparound then people have the option of cutting them if they want!

The wrap around covers only the front side of the seat post tube, on the main frame sticker the wrap around goes over the top of the tube.  In either case it does not wrap all the way around.  If you can see what i am saying.  This is how the originals were produced.  I can take some close up pics if that will help as the stickers are still on the frame.

Mine are the same as Trickys...  up and over on the down tube, and no black outline on headtube sticker, around the word 'REDLINE'.

Redline:
Cheers guys.... if you could put up some images that would be great!
