Sticker my ride?

Del Lardo · 14 Mar 2006 at 12:22

I recently came in to the posession of a SELOC Motorsport windscreen sticker for my car (OK I bought one) and am in two minds about whether to fit it. The last time I considered putting a sticker on a car I was 18, the car was a Renault 5 Campus and the sticker was a rather large Kenwood one. In the end I decided against it and the sticker proudly adorned the back of my friends Metro GTi for a couple of years.

Piccy of an S1 with the sticker on...

I'm currently favouring fitting the sticker as:

I'm taking part in the SELOC Sprint series this year
It advertises SELOC
I think it looks good

On the down side:

It could look a bit Chav
Could affect visibilty
I'm bound to get it wonky
I'd have to wash my car before I could fit it

Comments & opinions appreciated and if a passing Don could make this a poll that would be great.

I wouldn't bother tbh, it doesn't really add anything to the looks IMO.

I would if it was just the white bit but the yellow part could be on the border of your vision. A tint to the top of the screen is usefull but only the very top.
Cut off the yellow text?

i was going to suggest the very same thing, would look allot more subtle without the yellow

No, it looks shockingly ****.

I'm all for little ones in the small side windows...

Elise = YES YES YES in a screaming orgasm fashion.

Elise + Sticker = Just plain and simple, No.

Now all you need down the side is your normal chav shopping list

Bread
Milk
Eggs
Butter
Toilet Roll

etc, etc

I'm always blinded by the sun in my Elise, but I'd never fit a sunstrip.

:down from me.

I think that sunstrips on an Elise/VX are a great idea seeing as they don't have sun visors, however I don't like the style of that particular one, personally I'd just go for a smoke tinted one.

Looks pretty poor imo.

How the hell do you get your car out of the driveway?

Nozzer · 14 Mar 2006 at 17:46

a) It's not his car and b) the pavement dips and those cars won't be there...

Carries it

Enfield · 14 Mar 2006 at 18:01

I for some reason came back to the thread, looked at the picture and thought it was his even though I know it isn't lol. Never mind.

Don't even think about getting some go-faster stripes like that Elise :eek:

Wow, i like it, lots, it makes your car look like an actual racing car rather than a go kart (sorry, im not a fan of elise's, i have no idea why) But yea, to me that sticker makes a lot of difference, the car really pulls it off.

Del Lardo · 26 Mar 2006 at 18:54

Well I decided to ignore the nay sayers and go for it and here are the results.

Feel free to comment though if you don't like it then you are clearly wrong

Looks good, but you need a new numberplate.
