De-branding - opinions wanted
 
going to get boot lid resprayed tomorrow as there's rust on the lip (and bumper cos I reversed into a brick wall and just scuffed it :cuckoo:) However I am thinking of getting the 'subaru' letters removed (while it is being done) and have a completely smooth back end :norty:

Personally I think it will look great as car's lowered and small spoiler anyway. Plus it's not like people don't know it's a Scoob :wonder:

I prefer it without the sticker that should be there on the Type R

Looks weird without the SUBARU letters, IMHO. Like it has a huge ass, you know?

I had my boot lid resprayed, the sprayers tried to put the letters back with the original stuff, but they fell off. Luckily, wife had collected three before I noticed, so when I said, "Oh sh1t, the SUBARU letters have fallen off", she produced them out of her handbag. Who says women are useless? Not me.;)

Anyway, mime are now back with proper double sided tape. My preference anyway.

Being a woman I will collect them also... when they are handed to me after respray's been done :thumb:

I actually don't use anything special, just some zipwax shampoo and a cheapo Halfords wax :) I think that Black is the best reflective color though. But as stated by j4mou alot of elbow grease is the key :norty:

Deffo de-badge :)
