Default subtle decals

got a fairly heavily built uk 2000,

it should be in excess of 550bhp when collected, would like some small, subtle stickers, as car from outside looks totally standard,

any suggestions?

has to be small, subtle but still mildly visiable, its 2.1 cosworth built unit, so cosworth decals somewhere would be considered, but something a bit out of norm looking for tbh

I'd keep standard, more of a shock for the competition when you blast off and with scum today eyeing up our cars, it's best to not advertise I'd say.

How about using Ford Cosworth badges, could fit one to the tail gate where the Impreza badge is on a newage, or under the side repeaters?

The one I made was very similar to the Sierra badge above, but the Hatch COSWORTH badge is slightly different.

The top one is the actual hatch Cosworth, the bottom is my basic cad. Sorry no end result, although the member may have posted on here in the members gallery ?

Hi jef. Nice looking car mate. Fastest colour aswell. lol. Sticker wise, I would go for something similar to what you see on a UK 300, but put you're own spin on it.

I would change what you see in the piccy to,
API
COSWORTH
UK 550
Also get the UK 550 stickers done for below the side repeaters. Thats my opinion, but i,m sure whatever you choose, it will look the dogs danglies

I have modded my grill and have a STI badge fitted on one side .....



A 'cosworth' one in a similar position would look good.

To be perfectly honest to meet the requirments I made it from a number plate acrylic, with a silver backing, with the black negative of COSWORTH all under the acylic. It looked really good and offered a 3d effect from an angle.

Sorry none knocking about, and to be honest I have a list of merchandise backlogging so I cant do anything for a few weeks yet, Im hoping to get some breathing space once the kids are back to school next week.

no problem rob, if you dont ask an all that....

tbh i think the pink centre badge would make any badge look a bit naff, i think a complete grill change, then add the badge would be best.

so next question, pics of suitebale grills and where to gt them if anyone can help, be appreciated. i can just buy a ford one and take from there i suppose.

so show me your grills lol, please
