Infrations - what a waste of time if the system is abused.

And, no, don't add graphics/sticker/decals etc. they look [url][img]/obscene-smiley-995.gif[/img][/url okay

Tell it how it is

They look ok on the blue car's but look cr@p on anything else.

Agree about infractions

I would be getting that reversed if I was you.

Graphics seem a good idea at the time but once they have been on a while I suspect you will get bored of the negative attention. I think its very much a "look good on someone elses car". The reality of living with them day in day out on your own is very different.

Obviously only my opinion when there are plenty of people out there that love theirs but if you have any doubts save the cash for something else.

Just to show I'm not an out and out graphic hater this was mine when I first bought it...................8 months later they were off. One too many "Why on earth would he do that to a £20k car"

RLE, i remember before you owned it, it did lOOk damn good with the graphics, but there's no way i'd put them on my car.

I had a martini lancia, resprayed in the works colours, with additional martini livery. lOOked beautiful, but it's something you grow out of. (Only once you've had them i think).

Graphics only belong on the blue scoob. Anything else is an immitation.

Agree Gaz.
When I first saw it (was a local guy on here I bought it from) I said to the Mrs the day that comes up for sale I'm buying it. True to my word and £19k later I did but suspect my love for my first memory clouded my judgment somewhat.
Now as you know I've never actually regretted buying it but after the first few weeks of driving it with the graphics on I realised I was in the minority who actually thought it looked good. Normally such things would not bother me but as I had to occasionally use it for work getting out of the car in a suit etc took people by surprise.
I began to avoid driving it completely save for the odd Sunday blast to the Dales or something and put it up for sale in December 2005. It was then I realised the reason I wanted to sell the car was the graphics and not the car itself. Needless to say I got home one night and pulled the numbers off and it went from there.
A few days later and a quick polish I was back in love with it again Got so many compliments at a Rolling Road Day about how nice it looked I've never looked back.
Totally OTT post there for the OP. On the plus side if you decide to get it stickered up and hate it I'm proof they come off with no damage

If you want to put graphics on your car then go for it, after all its your car so its your choice, the cusco graphics look great on silver cars much better than the standard subaru ones.

If your going to do graphics PLEEEAAASSEE do something different & original, not the same old rally graphics. I'm not a great fan of graphics, but there have been occasions I've thought "oh, they look good" - not with SWRT graphics though I'm afraid.

As for whoever gave the infraction - your an idiot who is obviously compensating for something that should be in your pants. Infract that.

IIRC there are a couple of silver classics over on SIDC with pink graphics - She scooby and Craigy.

Check them out!

I think the graphics look great - if you're really racing or rallying. The appeal wears off a bit when you're sitting in a traffic jam on a grey drizzly day, with everyone staring at you. And think about the extra attention you'll get from our friends in blue...

But if you are going to do it, black not pink!

Very sad that someone infracted the thread. Hopefully they will receive an infraction for misuse of the system.
Sadly it appears the other thread started about the infraction has now been infracted too!

btw, I think black graphics if your gonna do it
