First reaction to stickers is face palm.
But can you actually make it look decent OP? I usually hate chavved up tat wagons as I browse the for sales in my local area, but there are some cases where it does actually look good. You will definitely need the "walk" to back up the "talk" though.

I've seen this car run. But I dont understand why I will need the walk to back up the talk about graphics.
I am just looking at something different. I followed two scoobies today about 2 hours apart from each other both heading the same direction. They both looked identical apart from their driving techniques 1 respected other drivers and the laws to a degree and the other drove like he'd just knicked it. Other than that the only difference was the number plate.
These are awesome cars and I love them. I only use mine at weekends I'm just thinking about making mine a bit different. I have never seen the cusco graphics on a blob only ever saw them on a classic once and that was mine.

Just remember.......it's not how you stand by your car, it's how you race your car. Also, be careful that the floor pan doesn't **** itself after you drag race your car for the first time.....finally, don't blow the welds on the intake manifold and you should be good to go. HTH

I am going for more popcorn (and drinks) for today.
BTW, age doesn't matter, I had a stickered up Scooby at the age of 60, now gone, but muchly missed.
It was post mid-life crisis for me.
These grafics are trending Stateside....

Now THAT's my sort of thing.
I used to love jigsaw puzzles when I was a lad.
How long would it take to put those cars together ?

As another notts owner I will say go for it.
Like you say a lot of them look the same, I am also toying with a simular idea but I'm already on the hated list for running a carbon wrapped boot and bonnet lol
God knows what will happen when I matt white the car later this year.
The cusco graphics are one of the nicer ones I've seen

Individuality mate.
The car's yours, you want to put YOUR stamp on it.
Go for it.
Just remember that one man's meat is another's poison, so you will possibly be reducing the number of potential buyers when and if you come to sell.
I've only done - and will only ever be doing - one 'enhancement' to the cosmetics of mine - Perrin stiffies.
I know when I come to sell the car I can give any buyer the option of having it with or without them. My individuality without compromising sellability.
Your stickers could be the same.
PS chuck some pics up if you do go for it.

i had graphics on my last car for over 3 years, i took them off and had the front end resprayed. i used a mild cutting compound from a mate in a bodyshop, then layered up the polish. it was smooth and like a mirror, but when it was frosty over night, you could see where the graphics had been 
I wouldn't do it again
