I say change them for something a little more discreet if you still want some Mocom's logo on there, either that or all off. The dark wheels at the top look cool as!

Very interesting to see the cross section of replies that this thread has generated so far.
I think that we all like to put our own seal on our cars. This might involve suttle changes to the interia to full blown 600bhp jobbies, but it's the desire to set our cars appart that drive the issue. Hate them or love them your graphics are unique to your car Frayz and have become part of it's identity.
Knowing the time and effort that you have put into the car, do you now fell that it's time to return it to that just out of the showroom look.
I think that you might slip out of the limelight if you remove all the graphics, and your car will become just a black bugeye.
That wont do much for the old ego.
And thats why you should keep them unchanged for now.

Decals redone in Neon Pink, 20" chrome spinners, flashing lights along the skirts, UV tubes, twin 2MW subwoofers and a 42" LCD TV underneath with a playstation in the glovebox..........
Or seriously......
Decals off, widen the body and new wheels to suit......preferably in Gold.

I voted new graphics, maybe something like MTM do, with a massive logo of the company at a slight angle across the whole car......
like you could hollow out the middle of the logo, so the letters like an outline, then even lay some of the design over a window......

wow just made it 36-36
Deffo keep them, they are so subtle it hurts, looks class. Only thing I'd do is get the same alloys in silver. Gold clashes with the decals.

Your car will always have your special mark on it Frayz, just not so easy to spot in the car park.

i removed all mine because i was sick of the attention, then ended up making the car a lot more ***** out looking as i thought it looked to plain LOL
sometimes i wish i still had them on, but to be honest, i actually got a lot of **** for having mine on, from randoms who called it a variety of names (including an advert designer!!!???)
mine was done purely to advertise the business, so no idea why so many people got the hump with it LOL
it was even called a "paki car" once
by a bloke in a battered old escort

junk 'em mate along with the rear spoiler, bonnet scoop, flaps and go stealthly. instead of mounting the oiler cooler in the tmic position, fab something like emb did. i'd be tempted to do something with the wheels as well. maybe a nice set of black / grey comp mos.

I think it depends on what you want from the car as well.
Obviously this is going to be a very track focused car so the stickers don't look out of place, however if you want to use the car as a "normal" car aswell, even now and then, then the stealth look can help the car to be used "normally" in my opinion.
The Scoob isn't exactly a stealthy car anyway but with stickers it looks like a race car to the average Joe and I personally would feel a bit of an idiot turning up to some places I frequent in a "race" car. A clean looking black scoob can blend in a little easier, especially as yours isn't very loud any more with your funky exhaust.
Although clambering out of a full race harness and a recaro bucket seat in a suit can still look a bit awkward!

I'm not keen on the rally slag look, Been there done that and raced everything with an engine from the lights
Your car looks cool with the graphics, I'd loose the wheels though for something in Anthracite or gunmetal. Nice Scooby though otherwise.
Simpsons !

White rims really suits that colour car as I'm glad I found out. Spray the wheels white and ditch the decals.
But if your going to keep the decals still go with the white wheels as I think they brighten up the decals and match in perfectly.

I would keep the graphics package thats on the car now and change the wheels as I hate the whole gold rim thing with Subaru's. The graphics make the car unique as it's not a standard car and not a rally rip off, its a modified road car and so the graphics don't look out of place.

Love the graphics and i know its your car at a quick glance. there are only a few bugeyes in the country that can claim that.
Dont like the pic of the darker wheels.
Why not sit down and think of some more grafics to go on, freshen it up a bit. id like to see some white wheels go on(to see how it looks) maybe despoiler with a carbon boot/wrc bonnet with vent.
End of the day, you have probably one of the most followed project threads ever. Think the car deserves to stand out from the rest. I'm afraid, if the grafics go, it will just blend into the rest of the black bugs unnoticed.(nothing against black bugs, i love them)
Just my 2 pence worth
