There are (of course) no replica batteries for a C4 - most folks just put in a modern AC/Delco "service replacement" and take the points deduction.
If you know you can't take that much of a points loss on the battery (perhaps because there are other issues with your relatively high mileage car) you might decide to completely redraw battery labels from old photos in Adobe Illustrator and print them at obscenely high quality on pricy extremely high gloss inkjet label paper. At least that's what I did ...

you just don't tell them.
And yes, repop decals are perfectly legit. now all he needs is the right black cased battery to put these decals on. That is impressive, John! Seriously so!!! |

And I've got that black-cased battery (an AC/Delco with its handle removed and ears shaved off). Only two flies in the ointment: 1) It's obviously not a real Delco Eye. 2) The labels curl after about nine months. |
