This happened today... Very pleased. But can anyone spot the error? Yes, it's 1cm too far back and 2 mm too low. LOL. It occurred to me that by lining up the bottom edge of the decal's backing paper to the bottom edge of the door, it would make installation easy and perfectly aligned to the door edge, so I was ok with the 2 mm drop. But my installer (he was doing PPF on windshield so I had him do this while he was here) measured and marked the 30 mm back from the leading edge of the door with tape. But he measured from the bottom corner of the door rather than the middle of the "0" in 4.0. That resulted in 10 mm difference. I told him to peel them off and I'll re-order new decals! (Kidding! it looks fine (which is what I'm telling my OCD). Plus, I received several different measurements from people, so who knows, maybe there's some margin of error from the factory anyway.)
Mate, you worry too much! Who the hell’s gonna notice a cm here or there? The important thing is…the car looks great. Seriously cool colour.
I see you've gotten windshield protection film. Let us know how you like it. My concern is how well it survives the use of windshield wipers, especially when you hit the spritz button and are wiping crud off.

Keep your blades clean with IPA on a microfiber about once a week or so.

Thanks everyone!
Measured the 'GTS 4.0' decals on the doors of my car and the above is the same as mine:
