Make your own etch

First you'll need some window frosting plastic, I got the Fablon plus stuff from B&Q

Print up your design and a mirror image of it too

Stick your design to the paper side of the frosted plastic with pritt stick

Nows the tricky part, you'll need a steady hand and a sharp scalpel

Stick your design onto another printout of your design with the plastic side down using pritt stick again. This will make sure your design is all lined up properly and it will help when it comes to applying it.

Peel off all the backing paper from your design, now you're ready to apply the etch to your window.

Tape a mirror image of your design on the outside of your window, this will help you line the etch up.

Apply the etch and rub it down well before removing the paper backing. Then you're done...

I'm looking for some more opaque window frosting at the moment because its still a little too see through
 
No probs Animal, I'm working on making a case badge at the moment, just looking for the right glue.
 
Cheers for that, Zax. Gonna try this out when I get some time. Any way to do coloured etchings?

Is that a water rez in below your window ?.

It looks intresting did you make it or where did you get it from.
