no way, how many scoobies do you see with the wrc graphics and imo it doesnt look right. The wrc car is wider, and has a diferent front bumper, so the graphics just dont look right.

plus there are thousands of em,

plus theyre not actually very nice graphics

Depends if you can remove them easily.

If not they can seriously affect your re-sale value
and also reduce the type of buyer you could get.

Worth thinking about !

You're wrong, and could be arrested.

If you want the rally look, go get your car dirty and put a few dents in it. No doubt you wear the labels on the outside of your clothing as well.

The Thames Valley Fashion police have made numerous arrests, the resultant court cases have all ended with a successful prosecution. Sentances have varied from the loss of kudos to permanent inclusion on the www.barryboys.co.uk offenders list.

If they are removed properly they shouldn't damage the paintwork at all.

A friend of ours asked us to put some stickers on his car, he needed to take them off because of the warranty or something, he did this and took them off wrong and it removed some of the lacquer, he has since had a quote to get the paintwork sorted, the garage quoted him £850 for about 6 areas the size of a ten pence piece (if that).
