Default stickers or not?

I've got a blue classic with gold wheels and I'm toying with the idea of adding stickers. Just after some feedback as to whether or not it would look better to have some kind of decoration to the car - and if so what kind of design - the usual scooby designs or something different?
Any ideas?

I love the look of the car without stickers. Personally i dont think the colour suits stickers, but thats just my opinion.

Had graphics on for around 10 months but never felt completely comfortable driving the car with them on. Needless to say they came off............

At the end of the day its your car mate so do what makes YOU happy. If you decide you dont like them they always come back off

Look a bit boy-racerish IMO, a bit like those spotty yoofs who decorate their high powered Saxo's, Corsa's, Punto's etc....

However, each to their own

Is there any chance of damaging the paint on removing them ?

Mine had been on for a few years and came off fairly easily using hair dryer and a bit of bug/ tar remover to shift the residue.

Must admit I left one of the Prodrive stickers on the front which was removed last week. Despite polish etc you can still see the outline of where it has been albeit very faint. Not too bothered as its going to get the stone chips sorted on the front but this one has been on for at least three years...............

I would not go the sticker route if I was you, but I'm not you so you must do what makes you happy. Stickers can 'photograph' onto the paint though..... meaning that when they are removed the paint underneath has not faded at the same rate as the paint not covered by the stickers, and despite what some may tell you (dependant on the paint type) it can be impossible to remove the effect.

Remember quality and power speak for themselves you dont need to shout about it with a set of stickers. I know not all will agree, thats just the way I see it.

Stickers ?
I don't have stickers, I am too old for them.


I have graphics instead

Your car, your choice.

I am happy with mine, had many people of every age asking questions, giving thumbs up and that favourite, the kids shouting Suubaruuuu as you drive past. To most people it's a thrill to see a car with graphics on.

Just another thought do stickers stop your car getting stolen or make it more of a target ???

I'm 50/50 on this one mate I'd be tempted if you have a Blue scoob as they do look good with the full sticker kit on, just get it fitted so there straight.

please post up some piccys if you get stickered up !

I would have thought less likely to be stolen as nobody would want it.









Just kidding.

Would make the car pretty easy for PC plod to spot - that might put the crooks off !

Yes, get them. It always cheers me up to see someone less well-endowed in the taste department than myself.

I already know your opinion on graphics Bubba, but as I said earlier, it can make people happy, I've cheered you up now, haven't I.

Don't be a closet Scooby owner, just do it, you know you want to, go on, go on, go on..

My 4 teenage sons love it when I take them to Maccies in it. but I've resisted the temptation to go belting up and down Asda car park doing hand brake turns.

End of the day,, they can always be removed from the car (sons or graphics). Unlike my sense of humour.

Stickers are nice but be sure they won't look off.
