That just looks like any bonnet that is being prepped for a full shoot you do this to remove the stone chips rather than feather every one just take all the paint from the worst affected area. Did you have a sticker there like?

How can you own an Impreza and not enjoy the rally nostalgia

Tbh I don't think it looks bad, in fact as rally reps go it's quite reasonable. That being said how ever I would never buy something like that or do it to mine because I'd feel like a right **** driving it.

i like both the monster and the plain! amazing paint job on the black though massive respect. job well done. but my 2nd scooby had the monster decals and loved it. really is a marmite thing. i notice petrolheads hate em most and kids girls and half normal public prefer with stickers lol funny thread though!

I can imagine me in that, next to a Fez ST at the lights and the chav shouting "Oi Grandad, give your boy his car back".

Nicely done (re)conversion btw.

hold the **** on! you saying that just because someone likes either a rally replica or just doesnt want a plain looking car so puts stickers it makes em a paedophile?!?!?! thats the stupidest comment ive ever read on here.
from what ive read time and time again on this forum is that we all love to modify our cars be it for power, looks or fun. whats right for one isnt right for others. same can be said for your house decorating god forbid what some of your houses look like, all painted plain magnolia be the sound of it! personally i like my car to look a little different ... thats my choice.its certainly not so i can as you so eloquently put it "get more underage poontang"

LMFAO, beautifully reeled in .

I actually think that ALL stickered up scoobs are nasty and that was one of the main reasons why I sold on in 2008 and went to "better" cars because I was sick of chavs in stickered up BECAUSE RACE CAR banger scoobs with drainpipe exhausts hooning around the area. I had built what I don't think many people can argue wasn't a great looking scoob (save for budget running out on the wheels....) and seeing all those stickered, knackered ricermobiles going around made me feel mildly sick.

Seriously, with a great big smile on my face I will tell you that your car looks awful if I ever bother going to another meet in my lifetime and see it

My opinion and if it winds you up, brilliant

your opinion i assure you doesnt wind me up. everyone has the god given right to like different things.... and thank god for that. what does wind me up is only the insinuation that people sticker their cars up to attact underage poontang! i unfortunatley am a bit more anti paedo than the average as my daughter fell victim to one and CERTAINLY dont like the isinuation i am trying to emulate one simply because i have stickers on my car. ******* idiot.

Mmmm.
I had a Christian upbringing and have always tried to stick to the Christian ideal.
I find your usage of 'god' without the capital quite offensive.

But then,you didn't know that, I realise and accept that it wasn't an attempt to provoke me and I'm not going to launch a crusade at you for it.

I'm also sheepish at making this post because it might split opinion between what is a community that sticks together, looking at most threads on here.

Sorry I've gone straight off on one.
In hindsight I should simply have PM'd you, to avoid embarrassment all round.

I think you would have probably done another post, accepting that it wasn't the cleverest of things to say with hindsight.

I - nay, all of us here on SN - hope that the trauma subsides, and of course that the b'stad gets their come-upance.

That's got to be a wind-up, putting a sticker on your car saying you don't like stickers.

In a moment of weakness, I once wrote 'Do not write on the wall' in biro on a toilet cubicle wall at work. I've felt guilty ever since.

I like the look of the WRC replica cars, I have one myself

I wouldn't buy a silver car, but other people do so there is no wrong or right, just having a WRC replica narrows down your buying market.

Keep the car and enjoy it.

I personally like the car "stickered" up.
Mine used to be, the only reason I removed them was because I am performing a bug hawk conversion and the stickers are different and would need replacing. So I removed them.
I got to tell you when I did it looked so much better without than with, and as far as damage so long as they are good decals and you apply even heat you will be fine. I did mine the third week in July this year, the weather was that hot I never needed mechanical heat they peeled right off in about 20 minutes.

Classic thread this
Generally stickers don't go down to well with the enthusiasts
On the excellent ""badly modified "" page on FB there is some great examples complete with
Dump valves ,roof scoops, funny stick on things ,weird DIY spoilers and all sorts of weird modifications to make them stand out from the crowd

They do work though for the McDonalds crowds but not for the masses on scoobynet .

My blob has wrc decals and a roof vent but I'm prob one of a very few that wont get abused that much for having them on as I'm building a wrc spec blob out of steal just so I can justify the decals lol

That said I do think all cars should have more go in them than they do show and if your selling then a blank canvas is always best as a buyer would just think your hiding scratches with stickers
