Tyre Pressure Sticker for Offset Alpinas

Hi

I can never remember my tyre pressures and so keep having to go searching for the correct information. I'm running 15 inch offset Alpinas with 6x15 195/50/15 on the front and 7x15 205 50 15 on the rear.

I found these on eBay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153621203680
The seller says that if I supply the correct detail he will manufacture them and list, can be made as either an Alpina or standard BMW sticker.

Does anyone have a photo of the genuine sticker I can send him, alternatively just the correct tyre pressures?

Ok, no replies, does that mean I can get the sticker elsewhere?

Was hoping for an Alpina owner to chime in but not yet. This is the old school sticker as used on E21's

Thanks Jeroen. The shipping, customs and tax from US bring this up to $33!
But probably better than me incorrectly inflating the tyres!

Haha! I do believe Pukar Designs is also running a production of these in the near future, that may be a nice alternative

I also checked it, 33 euro in order to be shipped to me as well!! What is this thing with logistics nowadays?...
At least I saw that I have been inflating my tyres wrong up to now since I fitted the Alpinas

I thought it was just one of the many advantages of Brexit! Honestly, buying parts outside the UK is now just hassle and expensive.

So the seller in the UK came back to me with this listing

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153730907619

£9.50 delivered in the UK, can't say what the delivery to Europe would be?

OK, last question, where does it go on the car, where do I fit it?

From what I remember in the alpina and hartge cars this sticker was placed on the inside of the trunklid

I was thinking in the door shut on the driver's side, but inside the boot lid works for me!

Too big for that, inside trunklid is the only place I've ever seen them
