Have any of you added graphics/stickers to your car?
« on: March 28, 2011, 10:14:52 am »
Was wondering if anyone has done this to make the car look more sporty? ie like Subarus have rally graphics that make the car look sporty. The only issue is that the GTI is such a nice looking car that doing this may possibly ruin things rather than enhance. Any thoughts?

Vinyl’s/stickers are more suited to Ford’s, Vauxhall’s & Subaru’s (and maybe a few others).

But VW’s are more classy and so vinyl’s/stickers would ruin the look IMO.

Anything can look good if you do it right, but I think a subtle touch is key.

I had Martini stripes one year for GTI International (we have a tradition of doing something daft each year), it looked pretty good on a white car! I can only find one of the front, but there were little accents around the car.

Yup, RR does indeed - more advertising than style... same as this I guess?

Regal's subtle side stripes.

Aaahh !! I'd asked a while ago on here if anyone knew who the guy was in the gulf colours and didn't get an answer !  This is the white ed30 that had the orange bits left on for the castle combe track day ?  Is it big turbo or K04 ?

Sorry off topic !

Chris.

Scrap that ! Just searched and his is a silver 5dr.

No , not that car, that car was in quite a bad condition with those wraps on, close up didn't look good.

if you look in the Superchips rolling road photo's, I'm sure there's a pic of Cocopops car with all it's livery :happy2:

Parked next to mine in this photo :happy2:
