Title: Clubsport side decals revisited...
Post by: Exonian on 14 April 2021, 19:23
Ignoring the actual text on this car, the side stickers do look more finished than the standard front door only items.
Replace that guy’s social media handle with some mk7 “Clubsport” wording and font and we have King Monkey style...

CS decal thread you say? I’m in!  :grin:

Think this is a great find Andy and makes the car look much better. More finished as you say.

Alright, stop, it's still that crab inspired bumper I can't get on with.

I see the crab but it reminds me more of a Space Invader, personally.

It always reminds me of a spider’s mandibles from the front.

But banish those thoughts, adjust your vision and behold the actual inspiration:

Ah yes, much. Couldn't have expected it to be a new design idea after all  :laugh:

I guess they couldn’t have continued the mk7’s plagiarism of the R8’s slatted strakes after Audi decided to make the later facelifted R8’s look like Skodas from the front  :whistle:
