Default Stop now, or go all the way (graphics content)

Decided that I fancied having my Scoob stickered up (not to everyones taste I know) been applying most of the small stuff this week with the intention of having the large side swooshes proffesionally applied. Got to the stage it is below & think it looks quite cool as is....So options are:

1.Leave as is.
2.Get the swooshes done.
3.Try something different on the sides.

What do ya think? Any opinions??

Dave

Dave, it looks great and the colours of the transfers work well on black. Personally i would not go for a big swoosh down the side as you could get the balance wrong and it may look OTT. I would just go for a small band/strip just above both side skirts in silver with maybe some small graphic text on it like the wording subaru or Sti .. Do you have any side pics of the car that are level, if you have post one and i`ll show you what i mean.

I think it looks excellent! I don't normally like decals but that well works. I'd go for one big swoosh in silver down either side. sort of in the middle of 2 doors and a smaller decal quite long on the side skirts

Thanks for the comments guys, much apreciated. I do like the large swooshes to complete the rally look but as I said quite like it the way it is or something completely different..MMmmmm.

I don't have any full side on shots (can get one of course) is this one any good for what you have in mind??

Not really into the sticker thing but this has really caught my eye, the car looks great, go for the big swooshes down the sides in silver.

Dave, this is along the lines i was thinking of earlier in how to do the side so its not to much in your face like a big swoosh could possibly be. Your car is black and the other 2 colours that are going on is silver and the Sti pink so this is what i did with the side, its a nice discreet pink Sti stripe then you have carried on the them from the back with the Subaru rally team logo and the Sti one as well and a thin pin stripe running down the side of the car in Sti pink. You could make the logos on the side any height or width you like as this is just to give you an idea of the look.

looks lovely as it is, but does seem to be missing something down the sides. wouldn't personally go for the swoosh thing but does need something.

This was mine mate. Perhaps a little over the top for many but you get the idea. Originally only used the car at the weekends so for summer blasts it was ideal-bit like a "toy" if you will). I now use the car for work as I was struggling to justify having so much money tied up in the garage and needless to say the attention got a bit too much for me............now taken all the graphics off less the sun strips and must admit I'm much happier and enjoy driving it more. Still turns plenty of heads without the graphics. All down to taste but at least I've done the graphic theme and got it out of my head!

Good luck....................

Thanks for all the comments guys, much appreciated.

Gastro, Pete1977, all you need to do is select the area you want B&W, I selected the Scoob then inverted the selection so everything but the car was selected. Then just de-saturate the colours, this will vary pending on the program used....

Impreza22b_WRC, certainly looks different, never been sure on pin stripes but the smaller swoosh & the STi badge looks quite good. Gives me something to think about, cheers.

Jameswrx, Nikon D70 with either 18-70 Kit lens or 70-200 F2.8 VR

RLE, your car was one of the ones I was modelling mine on TBH, does look stunning, just got to the stage mine is at now & quite liked it, I think it does need something down the side just thought maybe something different....Just need to make my mind up Mine at the moment is use as a toy (as was my previous Elise) but that will probably change if/when we sell the wife's Saxo. Don't mind a bit of head turning too, lol.

Cheers guys

Dave

Hi Tiny

Yeah have seen Hales Scoob, was another one which convinced me to go down the graphic's route. Did RB5286 do that one?? Looks very well done.
