Default Rally graphics going back on !

Sorry guys but ref recent post and pictures showing my de stickering of my Marmite bug I have to confess I can't get used to how plain my car looks now.
So this weekend I'm putting a new rally replica graphics kit on, no not gold and pink like my last set, light yellow with light blue shadow on my rally blue bug.
Pics will follow ...

I appreciate the different opinions, but Saturday they are going back on. I like to be a bit different and I know that the majority hate the graphics look but I just can't get used to how plain mine looks de stickered lol. I ll put the pics up when it's done

Lol does it really matter??

Some people like being bland and wearing a business suit and driving a bland Audi.
Some like Bermuda Shorts and string vests.

The ONLY difference is the attitudes of the people.

If he likes stickers crack on, if he doesn`t crack on.

Far too many "I`m cool cos I follow the crowd and don`t stand out", so what.



IMHO there is a very fine line between nicely done stickers/vinyl's and pi$$ poor attempts that ruin the car. Will wait to see what you do and what the finished job looks like before I comment.

EFA Thing is imo adding stickers does ruin a car. I don't have a problem with adding stickers per say but only if it's done tastefully or for a purpose, e.g to promote a company on a race/drag car. For example Daz Davies has the RCM logo/gfx tastefully added to his motor and it looks spot on plus it advertises RCM and as his car has plenty of RCM parts, advice and time tied up in it, that is a good thing.

Well said mate, at the end of the day it's his car, if he want stickers on his car fair play! If you don't like them don't put them on yours.

But my point is this. Its NOT your car.

If you walk into a car park and see your car and are happy with it, great stuff.
If someone with vinyl`s on does the same walk, and is happy with it, great stuff.

If someone does the same walk, and has no reaction, or doesn`t like their car that is a problem.

They have to live with it, drive it, look after it, repair it, tax it, fuel it. And imho if it keeps the Impreza going then is a good start. As if we all drove the same thing, looking the same way, we should all have Trabants.

And how many will tell you what they want you to hear/do, but come the other way around they don`t want to know. And often enough will not give themselves the same critisism they give others. And I`m speaking generally about things.
