Default advice on stickers

Cheers in advance

I'd take them off personally as I prefer a nice clean looking car rather than on overdone one

its your car m8, you could remove them and look the same as the other million blue scoobs or be a tad different and leave them on, im not a massive fan of the swoosh decal kits tbh,. but its your car so **** what anyone else says,.

Remove them, they look daft as no other part of the car has any resemblence to a rally replica or original.

Less is more, same goes for stupid bodykits.

I would imagine they are easy to remove after all they are just stickers, I think I recall some people saying that they leave a residue behind that should come off with T-cut

I agree, unless its an actual rally car then i hate stickers on a Subaru. Just makes it look chavy mate, theres millions of ways of being "different".

I wouldn't recommend T-cut on a Subarus fragile paint. Best way to remove them is with a hairdryer and warm them up one by one. Should peel off easily enough and any residue can be taken off with a clay bar or good degreaser that's bodywork friendly. On my last Impreza before selling I had a couple smallish decals (God WILL forgive me I hope) on the mirrors, doors and spoiler. Above method on red paint and no unsightly blemishes.
