Hi Gordon,

What ones you thinking of going for, the new WRC - or traditional bright yellow? Always had a hankering for getting it done myself - just got the full WRC spoiler on the blobeye and it looks the mutts nuts. Maybe watch your thred and see what everyone thinks.

Cheers

Gary, my car is a black blobeye so i'm looking for silver graphics. Wanting the big swoosh and stars on the sides. Saw so many at the Gathering it's really put me in the mood. ;)

Saw a Black blobeye STi on Wednesday over Whitburn way and it had the big swoosh and stars in gold. As you say either do or don't like it and i guess that's true for the graphics colour choice too.

There's one or two with quite a bit of knowledge/experience with the graphics so I'm sure you'll get good info on it all soon enough.

Here's a pic of mine:

I bought them from Scoobykits who were MORE than helpful and sent me colour samples so that I could check that they would look ok on the scoob before purchasing, IIRC the main kit plus the shadows were about £90 but then you get 10% discount as they're SIDC supporters.

I'm more than happy with the quality of them and we fitted them ourselves, yes ok it took a few hours but I can honestly say once you get the hang of it it's really not that difficult, just start off with the small ones & then progress to the bigger ones once you get more confident. ;)

I fitted mine just before we did the mcrae gathering. I bought them from scoobyworld which was a bit more expensive than most of the ebay stuff. I fitted the small ones myself which was pretty straight forward but left all the 555 ones to a professional to fit as the blue shadows were full numbers and the yellow had to be overlaid on them. The guy that fitted mine said the quality was the same as he would use, ie good. ;)

Hope this helps

speak to Gav(scoobyseller555), am sure a wee while back they got some of their demo cars done with the graphics so he should be able to point you in the right direction...

Heres Mine £150 for stickers and £160 for fitting but only one I have seen so far that didnt just cut out around the handles, they have actually been integrated into the swooshes.

theres a black wrx down my way wilth silver wrc graphics on it and i think it looks pants imo

why not go for somthing like the new wrc car with silver and blue somthing like karps.

there was a woman on here cant remember her name but she had a black sti with babyblue wrc graphics on it and it looked quite good

just my opinion but at the end of the day its your car, each to their own and all that

Firstly, the vinyls they used were not intended for outdoor use or for cars. They were intended for indoor use. That meant that they faded in he sun and before long, they were mostly white! Also, when it came to removing them, they also removed the laquer on two other cars who had them fitted, thankfully, I was able to get mine off without this happening. I never bothered to complain and even went back to him for another design that I did. I had to go to him in Ayr to have the car measured up (£25 for petrol); he also has no premises to fit them, so I had to organise that too, but the clincher came when he stuck £80 on top of the original asking price. I complained about this to him, hoping to have some come and go and he simply mailed me back and said, "I'll just leave it". Nice of him, dont you think?

Hence the reason I wont ever use his services again - ever ever ever!!! ;)
