Default Graphics be gone!!!

I got to old for these......



Started with a wheel change..



Then decided that the stickers were not doing me any favours, if anything - they were making my grey hair stand out more!!!




If you have any grey hair, and stickers like I had, then follow my lead and don't be afraid. I may
even set up a help line for recovering aged stickaholics.

How long where the stickers on the car, and did they leave any marks on the car?

They were on for about 16 months, and once they were off you could see the outline of every sticker. A fair bit of elbow grease though and every thing looks rosie.

The photos don't do it justice. It looks loads better

They were put on by the dealer, and you may have noticed they are not the "full on rally graphics" the dealer thought they would be a selling/attraction gimmick, and fair play to him, they suckered me right in. So in answer to your question they came with it.

I like it both ways.

Yes the new wheels with the stickers looked wrong.

I agree you can't see the remains of the stickers (I had a look at our local meet tonight)

I can't bring myself to remove the flamer kit. Anyway, the dealer fitted it as an optional extra so I might be in danger of invalidating the warranty.

Thanks Nicci.

I had radio 2 on all the way home tonight. I think I'll have a listen to radio 4 some time soon, maybe catch the shipping forecast.
