Default RALLY DECALS..SHOULD I????????

Have a world rally blue WRX classic with gold STi alloys..Should i fit a full rally decal kit or not.?? Whats the general train of thought on Rally reps?
Will it add or detract from the cars value?

I realise it personal choice to an extent but would like peoples views on whether they look ace or look like a Dogs bum with double cheese on toast on?

TIA

Depends on your own opinion mate. Do you want added attention and to stand out more to police, kids, scallies etc.
Will take you a while to get used to the looks though. im still gettin used to it now.
Heres mine.........

I'm 42 and I wouldn't want them on my road car.

If I was 22 I would.

im 40 and i got them on mine,and i think it looks ace, it does draw a lot of attention tho so if your a shy retiring type i wouldnt but if you like to stand out and you can take the icecream van taunts go for it. ps, it was the mrs that wanted it done but for once we agree on somethin

Take your time thinking about it! I had my 03 WRX done and kept the decals on for around 6 months, but I gradually got quite fed up with all the attention, and removed them all. A pic of my car is in the current RallyXS magazine. I must say John WRX's car looks superb! If you do decide to have them, i've got some brand new decals, suitable for classic Impreza, in yellow, of course.
2 x big side decals, Subaru name and swoosh and stars
2 x STi decals for rear wings
1 x windscreen decal
1 x bonnet decal saying Subaru world rally team

You can have these for £40.

Don't even have to be in Yellow either and if you don't like them then just take them off

Some more of John wrx's work

I didn't go the whole hog, as I didn't want to be considered as trying to be one of the "lads".....

Default Decals

Hi,

I fitted a set of decals to a alfa for a mate, after 4 months he took then off. but where the sun had not got to the paint under the decals, you can still see the decal marks on the paint work!

Make sure you are 100% for it!

Baz.
