Default has anyone got pink STI/swooshes etc on their mudflaps?

sorry to post here, but i'm just about to buy some off ebay and i'm having a change of heart about the colour of the writing!

anyone got any pics please?

or opinions, the car is an 05 white sti and i'm going for black flaps (hopefully matt finish) with a 3" long STI in the bottom corner.

was thinking white to match the car, now i'm thinking pink to match the other STI badges. totally confused myself now

what do you lot think?

did think about it, but a bit too 'rally slag' for me

truth is, i'm not too keen on the flaps anyway but the car is getting mullered with **** flying off the tyres so gonna run through the winter and see if i can put up with the look at the expense of ******** up the paintwork.

so they need to be as subtle as poss

nah, seen white flaps on a white car and it looked fooking awful!

granted it was an escort so a litre of petrol and a box of swan vestas would have been an improvement!

Black flaps for the most part are barely noticeable anyway if you aren't too keen on them



What about something like this only with white letters?

White will show up the mud and dirt more so than black. Have you thought about black flaps with black logos??

Plain black - no logos


Logos look cheap and tacky

Carbon Fibre with Pink Sti






White flaps Pink Sti





Have to say the White ones were filthy and non cleanable on the inside hence the change to Carbon

phil - diamond mate love the look of the carbon, but the pink logo is not for me TBH, but cheers for helping me make up my mind

have you ever had any probs with either set mate? the front ones look bloody low in all the pics i've seen, just got a horrible fear of reversing over them and ripping the buggers off!

cheers for the advice/pics/tips guys
