Title: Graphics??
Post by: gc350 on 07 January 2007, 22:28
I'm after adding some 80's style graphics to my mk2 golf, just something subtle, was wondering if anyone has any pics showing original designs etc.

No fast and furious stylee please.

the only graphics i could really see working would be old audi rally style graphics, as in the grey red and black. generally i'm not a big fan of graphics though.

IMO your best bet would be to look through the endless pages of google images and see if anything catches your eye.

u may laugh... but around me there is a blue asstra that is totally standard apart from a whopping exhaust, and the biggest sunstrip ive ever seen, easily covers 1/3rd of the screen.... not uncommon i hear you say.

but this one just says BABYBOY in some funny font, i will have to get a pick next time i see it, i couldnt last time, i was trying to stop my self dying from laughter.
