Since then, he is after revenge. He tried it in this thread
haha. Don't flatter yourself Theo.

Sure, he didn't know that was my car ?
No, I didn't know it was your car.

1. I was replying to Mossman on page 1, and hadn't even seen the picture of your Scooby on page 2.

2. Even when I did see the Scooby, I didn't even notice it was on foreign plates, let alone know it was Belgian, let alone know it was yours. Is there only 1 Scooby in Belgium ?

I'm not going to trade insults with you. Just correct you where you're wrong/mistaken.

they were the only stickers I put on myself LOL
Mind you if I lived in the land of Stella Artois I'd have trouble putting stickers on straight too

Hi Guys,

Been considering getting a few graphics on my car, similar to Wurzels, as the title say, cool or crap ?
My car now has a nice secure garage to live in
I was always worried about the attention on a public street.
My car is blue so I feel the base colour is right !

Any comments welcome!

Its up to you...

I used to have "Puff The Magic Wagon!" in bright green across my windscreen, the wife hated it but it didn't cause me any problems. Lots of strange looks from people!

So, ask yourself, can you live with the attention?

lol nice 1 puff

If I drove around in Croydon with ' puff the magic dragon ' on my car I think the old bill would assume you doing a Zammo and pull you bloody car apart !

I hear you though, its all down to your own feelings on being noticed...

Hmmm, I feel a "Max Power" moment coming on here

IMHO graphics should "stick" to rally cars only as already said, or for display purposes perhaps?!?

I went along with a friend when he recently test drove an 03 WRX and that was in fully rally decals and it looked the puppy's.

We got a lot of looks from people driving around in it - not sure how it would pan out day to day but I think it could be pretty cool!

Andy, if done correctly - with a specific time frame (I mean decals which were for a specific rally as Wurzel has done), it does look very impressive.!

like one of these I mean:

http://www.subaru-global.com/lineup/impreza/10years/wrc_10years.html

You will be stared at as you drive up the street - well for the first month, then people will not tend to notice you as much. Well this is at least what we have seen here with Wurzels. Besides, most of the gt´s / wrx´s and sti´s have bloody great wings and gold wheels - you are pretty much used to being noticed.

Get it done well, with attention to detail and you will be rewarded with a nice looking example. Go for it.!

Dude don't you dare, unless you've changed cars without me knowing It just wouldn't suit your cars colour - it looks unique as it is.

Hi Andy

I assume you are the Andy on Ken's website? I'm the one below you

I was just wondering if you were going to go for the OE graphics or update them? I did see a full set of the originals for sale on ebay a few months back if you are interested.

Horses for courses m8e - whatever rocks your boat I guess...

I imagine that some of your opinions or personal practices I might personaly find strange, odd or downright abhorent. Matter of taste I suppose & mine is decidedly odd

I think they look pants.. Being liveried up like a rally car is a bit lame when it's not actually a rally car.

Sunstrips like Puffs was OK, particularly as he's such a character and it's useful to be recognised by people who know him.

Each to their own I guess, but I do snigger when I see a be-stickered Scoob.

Rum's is more like a rolling advertising board. That's OK, but it's not my cup of tea either.

Thanks for the replies guys, typical its my busy day at work..

Cheese boy and Wurzel-Thank you for the graphics guide, very useful ! To be honest it was Wurzels car that made me want them.

That is me moomin, I never liked the graphics on the car originally
the 555 didn't do it for me so the dealer had to hair dryer them.
I will go for the 2000 car graphics seen on Wurzels motor.

Neno, I thought you were going down your usual road of questioning my cars colour

Puff-you said it m8

One last thing, I've been quoted £340 fitted incl VAT for the two side emblems, boot emblem, and sunstip fitted, sound about right ?

Cheers

Would I ?

'Tis your choice of course. Why not post a pic and perhaps someone would photoshop the logo's on for you, then you'll have a better idea.
