Over the last day or 2 i have had a few folk ask me, Do you not think its time you take the tributes off your car as the moment has passed. When i feel i have them on the car as a memory of Colin and Johnny. i might be wrong about this i dont know? What do you Guys think?

Mine are staying on for the foreseeable future. And I'm still getting orders for more.

I may remove them after a while but when I get round to getting the smaller signature stickers for my UK300 wing I can see them staying permanently as a reminder...

I have both the CM and RB sig stickers on my car and have no plans to ever remove them from it.

The OP's large rally style stickers I think are maybe slightly on the large size for me to keep on constantly... think for me I'd have kept on smaller ones but ones as large as that I would probably remove in time. Saying that it's entirely up to yourself as to what you put on your car or what you keep on your car.

ScoUK - going from your post I'm assuming you got the stickers printed up? If so can i place an order - I think they're ace and will have them on my RB permanently!

I think those folk dont understand the full impact of losing Colin (and others) and may just think you are jumping on the bandwagon.

i'm keeping my tribute stickers, black ribbons on mirror and aerial on the car until they fall off, and will be adding the smaller signed sticker that Class A are doing on the panel next to my front driver side wheel, under the STi badge.

Everytime I drive the scoob and see the ribbon round my mirror blowing in the wind, I get a surge of emotion and I dont want to forget that...

I'm keeping mines on until they fall off or I get rid of the car Hopefully they'll last at least until the memorial run to Prodrive).

I'm also waiting on the smaller ones which I ordered about 2wks ago

I've removed my ribbon though as it was getting a bit battered looking and it's now hanging in my garage.

I'm not fussy what others may say / think, I know why they are there and what they mean to a lot of us.

Order them by Pm'ing me (Eep!! that almost sounds dirty!)

Sweet! that'll be 3 RB's with my stickers on them!!

Still got my ribbon ont he wing morror.. Looking a little frayed but it's still on! and no intentions of removing!

I may remove the rally style stickers after a while but no intentions of doing so at the moment.. And if I do. I will have some other tribute somewhere on the car like the singature stickers on the rear wing. Fixed permanently on the car in reminder to what Colin Meant to me and Subaru.. If someone had a Colin McRae tribute on their car then decided to clean it all off without replacing it I'd be offended to be honest! not a true Scooby Enthusiast IMHO But that's my thoughts on it... Never forget!!

Well as it goes, I removed my ribbon just this evening... not because i dont care any more or that the moment has gone, but because, I dont know, the balck ribbon, I feel that If i had left it on, It loses meaning... I dont know if that makes sense to anyone else, and to be honest I dont care, but i just think that, if thats there permanatly, its just not as special after a while...

but the stickers... nah, they are there to stay, and in fact, although I never got them before, (and Yeah Ive still not ordered them yet!) I'm still ordering the vinyl stickers, the signature ones, for me tailgate... i dont expect that I'll get rid of them any time in the fuchooor... just because the time of mourning is for all intensive porpoises is over, dont eman that i cant still have my tribute...

We still need to remember him....

Remember one thing, that rememberance, is not only for one day of the year... (I feel the same way about rememberance sunday)

Cheers guys will deffo be keeping them on now might down size eventualy but they wont be comming off.

it will be my permanent tribute to the great man Colin McRae ;)

Haven't got my stickers yet either but just before I read this I was actually cutting some new ribbon to put on the car for Japshow tomorrow as my first ones are looking a little tatty ( a quick blast up the A1 last weekend finished them off), I think it's all about your own personal choice so if you want to keep them on then that's exactly what you should do :guinness:
