Question for people with decals - do your decals represent whats actually in/on the car or do you just put them up cause you like the name/stickers?

Just interested.

I wouldnt put any decal on my car if i didnt have any of their products. Pulled up to a petrol station last night and there was a ford fiesta with blitx, hks and greddy decals down the side of his car. I went over to talk to him to see if he had changed the engine or if he just liked the name of the ocmpanies but he left

Another question as well - do people like decals?

Seen some on some cars and they look on awful but on others, they look really good. Opinion?

Do you just mean parts decals or like when people say put sti on a standard car as well?

i've got a few and most of them have nothing to do with whats on my car but at the end of the day i can't afford the real thing and most people don't know the difference anyway! i understand totally with what you are saying but at the end of the day it's just a bit of harmless fun and they come off anyway

just off to get me flamesuit!

catalunya199

oh yeah and I had a car park pass from last years NETWORKQ stuck in my window (cos the fecking thing wouldnt come off)(b4stards)now removed with nuclear fuel!!!!

*Sonic*

I have Prodrive Sticker on the front of my car, but then I do have Prodrive Wheels

I have STI stickers on my fog covers, as they are Sti Fog Covers

But thats it, I guess I could put the 22B Type Uk Badge on the back of the car, as I have a 22B Type UK rear Spoiler (but I wont)

When my car came from Japan. (STI 5 Type R Ltd.)

It had the full, Mcrae Replica job on it. Including window names.

I had most removed ( This incurred some paint damage. Requiring Respray).

I still have large 555 across roof (This is white as the dayglo yellow has faded).

Removed Pirelli stickers as I now run Goodyears.

Put cheap Kenwood in and changed front seats,steering wheel and gearknob, to Sparco .Just to reflect remaining stickers.

Is this MAD, or What?

gljam

yes

corradoboy

I have no stickers, at all. I even get plates made with no company names on. The only badges remaining on the car are the ones set into recesses or that leave holes (I'd get them smoothed out if I could be @r5ed).
If they want me to advertise for them then they can pay my tax and insurance for the year.

sg72

BTW. WTF. is STANDOX

Blue_Boy

Well - almost for mine:

HKS - as I've got the gauges
AP Racing - as I've got the brakes
Eibach - as I've got the springs
Apexi - for the backbox (although it might change)

Blitz!!! - Oooops (Not on the car yet though)

KINGY71

PRODRIVE stickers front & back as i have PPP,Prodrive wheels,prodrive headlights and prodrive spoiler.I don't like the look when someone goes ott but a couple of stickers just makes it a little diff.

love em or hate em...people buy them, and i have made some pretty bad graphics / decals in my time including some fantatsic ones... the worst was a matt black skoda that the owner decided to make it fashionable by cutting the suspension springs down making it about 50mm off the floor... and he decided the slogan up the side to be " how Low can u go " in lime green lettering with a hot pink outline but i dont know if his reference was to how low the car was or a comment on his colour choice and design..utter dog! but he loved it..

graphics come and go and i think we have "the fast & furious" to thank for the last influx of mad ole graphics.. all good for me of course...but some companys really do take the p*ss in what they charge...i saw a full 2f2f kit in a well known motor factors for £530.00s (supply only)whoa! graphics are not that easy to apply at the best of times but i would say that i would find them a little tricky to get on with knowing how much someone paid for them.

I don't see the point of putting stickers on when there's no such product on the car. Just seems a bit fake to me.

But if 'someone' was to tune their car so it was someting special, then cool Of course, it's also kinda cool to have that element of surprise, if you know what I mean. Like what's-his-name with the "1.4 Skoda Octavia". Also

John WRX

full hit and everythin in stcikers is on the car, blitz, momo, hks, sony, recaro, tracker, scorpion etc

GC8

Standox is a reasonable quality automotive paint

*Sonic*

Not used on a subaru then :P

Turbohot

Decals?I don't see why one shouldn't use them as, they show your appreciation for those makes, publicise those products and the car looks cool!
Many people say about scoob that scoob is one car you can load with stickers and it looks cool,even when it's not a proper rally one.It compliments it.Not every car would look nice with decals.

S.B.

What about my horse?

Lol at S.B and jimmy

My mate stuck a Jeremy Clarkson 'I've been in faster wheelbarrows' sticker on the back of the STi just before Japfest.

He was really embarassed about it (Stella had something to do with it apparently) but I thought it was ace so I kept it on.

Unfortunately it blew off on the M6 when it got wet.

What stupid tw*t designed a car sticker that falls off when it gets wet????

Krade

I was thinking about this on the way to work, everyone has the stickers goin down the door from top to bottom, What do people think about having the stickers running along the bottom of the doors from left to right just above the sill?? I reckon it would be a bit more subtle but a buggger to keep clean.

Scooby96

bought my wrx with blitz, hks, greddy + others - removed all but the blitz as it can hardly be seen and when I tried removing these the paint flaked under them so stuck them back on!

dont like decals at all!

ps - car also had Sharon & Tracey sun stickers - front AND back!!

those came off within 10 mins of buying the car!!!

Gedi

I think all stickers look really silly and I tend to get embarrased when I see a car with stickers on. I like the clean look. But I suppose thats just my opinion

owbow

Nurburgring map both sides and on the rear on my Pug and my Fiesta.

markwild

I have a few (3) on the door, one on the rear and a subaru WRC type on the rear valance - BUT I only fit the stickers of manufacturers that I have products from......

(Except my scoobynet sticker, of course )
