Yeah something similar @Kev_ . A quick search always come up with Pink Floyd. Maybe I should have called my van Gladys.

@ACM Could I quiz you on something? I have been trying to convert a PNG image into SVG suitable to make vinyl sticker out of, (I have been considering treating myself to a vinyl plotter for my birthday) but despite everything I try, it won't do what I'm trying to achieve.
Tried Corel, Inkscape, Illustrator, SignCut Pro and SignCut Draw but I fail every time.
Basically I would like to make some more stickers that are replicas of my avatar, I had some done a long time ago but I've run out and the guy I got them done by only seems to do printed stickers now not vinyl layered ones like I got before.
I've imported my PNG image into Inkscape, done trace bitmap and got to where I can separate the layers and I can get a pretty good outline drawing of the image, but I can't seem to fill any areas in?
In SignCut when I go to cutting page I get too many layers, and what I want is a black background with the brown cloak, flesh coloured fingers, darker brown scythe handle and silver foil blade stuck on top of the background, but the cutting layers cut out the black where the face would be when I want it a single piece. (if you see what I mean)
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

@Grim Reaper you seem to be nearly there with it.
Your aim should be to create a cut file for each colour of vinyl. To edit the line you need the second icon down on the left menu in inkscape. It should show dots, which you can then either delete or move. Usually I make the layers in one file then delete and save to get the colour files.
You don't want to cut holes for different colours in the layers as they will shrink at different rates and gaps will open up.
There is other things you can do to improve the layering post cut.
Hope this makes sense

Decals anybody? Show off your decals - ( maybe I should put the wine down): black gloss VW badge on the front?
I'm holding off decals on my Starlight Blue as cant decide if anything goes for my subtle tastes although I did get a couple of Beach decals in gunmetal grey....
Not sold on coloured badges either

I’m sure there are some areas in Cheshire you could park up at and let the local tag artists loose with their rattle cans?!!
Far too posh up your way!
Subtle for me also: having the van ceramic coated in April, so I am getting these thoughts out of the way now before that happens.
Big fan of the designs these guys at Multicamper do, in fact love pretty much everything about their vans and has made me decide the direction I want to go in with my van. Check out JoeMulticamper on Instagram. Side note, the poptop they use is the best design I’ve seen.
I have simple decals on my van with a red and white VW decal stitched onto a full bonnet bra....
