Sorry if this offends but stickers are crap, they do nothing apart from collect polish! The only place thay look good is on a racing car of any kind as the logo being displayed have paid for it to be there!

I'm not a fan of them, but not everyone feels the same way.  It was a bit of a childish comment though, sorry if that offends!!

They just look wrong on a current day golf - very 80's along with with bubble perms and suit jackets with the sleeves rolled up.....
IMO of course :signLOL:

That white 'Martinied' Mk2 is just fantastic in my view.

Makes me want to find my old Mk2, which was white, it never looked like that one though..

The Martini colours do look good on white cars, yes more normally on Lancia rally cars, but the VW thing looks pretty smart too in my book.

After all McRae's WRC Focus from from '99 onwards was Martini livery too wasn't it.
He gave them some publicity in 2001 with it barrel rolling along on the RAC, shaken and stirred all in one go.

Mine was Martini'd up for a laugh for Inters, just little accents of it here and there. Cost pennies and easily removed once the novelty wore off.

I'd speak to a member called Very Cherry, if he's not too busy doing his superb work for charity, he may help.

Win.

Sideways yo!
