Naked?

KTP · 07-05-2008, 15:29

after having my car for about 8months, i decided it was time to lose the 'Skoda Motorsport' stickers.

this is how it used to look...

and how it looks now...

andy2407 · 07-05-2008, 15:32

What's the next plan then? Have you got anything else lined up?

Jim Rosecottage · 07-05-2008, 15:42

Have to admit i have a red vRS and i liked the Skoda stickers i was thinking of going the whole hog and getting the WRC stickers

Johnny50 · 07-05-2008, 15:46

Keith, i actually prefer it with the stickers, even though i'm not normally a sticker fan.

L-Y-K · 07-05-2008, 16:16

is that a stripe or fade?! on the bonnet! looks great in red though

Johnny50 · 07-05-2008, 16:22

Never spotted that..looks like fade a little.

Robshaw · 07-05-2008, 16:25

I'm sorry but I liked the stickers

Definately a stripe. We are talking about the nearside bonnet aren't we?

Looks like KTP and Mr Makefish are in cahoots

Johnny50 · 07-05-2008, 16:46

Yep. Nearside.

You might think that but I couldn't possibly comment

As for the stripes, from experience they do look a lot better in the flesh than in photo's. Is that a lighter shade of red or a matt finish? Would be better if it continued over the bumper too imo.

I liked the stickers too but the polish round the edges was annoying me so i'm not too sure what i'm going to do with it, currently i'm more interested in spending some time trying to get the best from the paint, just about to order a load of products to hopefully remove any marks and give a deep shine.

yes, the stripe is not a fade, just a gloss red closely matched to the car so very subtle.

steve: i've been thinking long and hard about this and my conclusion is... if i do the bumper, i'm going to have to carry over the roof and down the back, big issue with that is the roof sits a bit in from the side of the bonnet, then i only have the small section of tailgate to hope it fits in without looking out of place, the lines of the car aren't the best for carrying a side stripe the full length. i could do the same as yours with it being in the middle but i'm not sure if i want to do that or not yet.

I think it looks better without the stickers. But that's coming from somebody with stickerphobia, can't understand why people drive round advertising a garage or shopping list of uprated parts.

Johnny50 · 08-05-2008, 13:30

If i remember correctly, that is Keiths line of business.

I really liked the bonnet sticker.

Usually uprated parts they do not own or intend to get

well the conclusion to this thread is after giving the car a good polish and wax, i put the motorsport stickers back on it. i missed them.
