Don't do it. Spend the money on handling or brakes.

the handling and brakes are great when you are usd to 20 yr old fords running 420bhp

Don't do it. People will laugh at you. You are not in a rally. You are someone driving a car based on a rally legend. My opinion only, I know others will disagree

Go for it dude, when it's done well, it looks fantastic. And of course, stands out a mile away (if that's your thing! )

Nooooo!
Kids will point at you, you won't be able to leave it anywhere without unwanted attention from all the local chavs, people at work will laugh at you, your family will think your mad, and probably won't want to sit in it ever again! Apart from that it's a great idea!
Just my opinion!

Get it done. They look good and you'll love it.

Had two different designs on my last one.
Red Bull was my favourite

Im getting Cusco graphics put on mine this week sometime. There's a seller on ebay (stick-r) that sells them and they put them on for an additional cost of £100 and are based in Worksop.
After 3 years of ownership and constantly noticing new dents and chips i just want to get the novelty back. Then when im bored of the stickers off they will come and its like getting a new car again.

The only people who will point, take pictures and generally be impressed are either
a) 13 year old spotty oiks or
b) will ask you if you want fries with that

But hey, its your car so do as you wish

Hi - asked the same thing about my 52 STi Bugeye (WR Blue) on the Essex Scooby Crew forum!

It was a 98% resounding NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't do it.

The two things that swayed me against in the end were one guy who had done it, and at a later date gone to remove them & it ruined his paintwork (remember they'll fade / weather etc)

and secondly, as above,

The word CHAV.

I always thought they looked cool, but now, on closer inspection unless you go the whole hog, it can look really tacky (in my opinion).

The example I love is Tiny's from ESC, but as I say, he has gone all out, arches, roof scoop etc, hence it looks the bollox.

My car had fully rally graphics when I got it but because I use it every day I decided to take them off (previous owner used it as a "weekend" car/show car) as it was a bit too much "in your face" for me.

Took two of us about 5 hours in total to get them off, there were lots see my garage Came off ok with a hair dryer then my bro got me some spirit wipe stuff from his works to clean it up.

IMO it Looks ok for a weekend car, but bit OTT if used every day. If your going to get it done get it done properly as there are stickers and there are stickers.

Saz, Nat's friends other half had the Red bull stickers put on his blue bugeye by the same guy. After the first week they started peeling off and he wasn't very helpful with replacements apparently

Just a warning thats all chuck
