Default To sticker, or not to sticker that is the question!!

Have had a box of vinyls for my car ontop of my kitchen cupboard for over 18months, and have always debated on whether to fit them or not.

I know its a marmite thing, but I will probably be getting my car sprayed next year, so would be just for a few months.

These are them.

But imho it wouldn`t look right without something like this on the doors.







Would this if laid out correctly look ok, or have I been spiked with some nasty chemicals??

Do whatever you like as it's your car and taste.

Personally I don't like rally graphics unless on a rally car but they can look good on a road car but they need to be put on well plus you need other things on the car like replica wheels.

Yeah, but white wheels are a start lol.

It`s something that would have to be laid out correctly, and esp when dirty would look good lol. No Monster logos and the decals would be 100% straight and matched up, not looking as if they been stuck where ever after a failed ram-raid in Halfords.

But with things like this there is a very fine balance between not enough so looks $hite, and too much which looks $hite. Then there is the wrong type that looks $hite, the badly laid out, the little bits and bobs that could make it sink or swim.

It needs a few people to help to do it, and a lot of planning.

I am not the biggest fan but as Ty said, they can work with the supporting mods to make it look more like a rally replica rather than just a standard scoob with rally graphics. I am a big fan of realistic rally reps of any kind to be honest.

At the end of the day it doesn't really matter what others think, just that you like them yourself. If i listened to everyone around me when i first told them i was having a kid i would have chopped the scoob in for a "family car" like a nice diesel people carrier or something!

Go for it. After all they're only temporary, if you don't get on with them you can remove them.

Yeah don`t fancy a stripped out car, to make it near a rally car.
Will be tinting my rear windows so hopefully that will avoid the no show of a roll cage.

Exactly, will be getting it sprayed anyways, so better to find out on crap paint than wonder about it on fresh paint.
