if you stickered the whole car i think that it would pull it off with some decent wheels, but otherwise why not show off the rare colour?

i'm in 2 minds about it really, i would need alot more stickers and a wide variety, i've found you can only really pull it off if you have a massive selection and alot of thought and detail has to go into it. The bonnet took 6 months to acrew the stickers and 2 weeks to do. Not sure i can be arsed doing the whole car. The results however could be potentially epic! Wheels tho are a mystery to me now. I think its now impossible to have "different / unique" wheels. So maybe some cream coloured banded steels. The possibilities are endless. Although wire wheels keep recuring in my thoughts. Saw a set with all the adapters on E38 a couple years ago for 800 sheets. Regreting not taking advantage of that opportunity!

food for thought...



these are only $600 with the conversion adapters!!! Gotta love american websites!

can't decide what to do this weekend. all i have is stickers, tools, poilish and no cash. any sugjestions?

This is my life  :grin:

You've got more stickers than me! I also have polish but not the paint to polish  :grin:

Car looks cool tho!

If you have cash to mod a car well then great, if you don't I think this new age of 'rat-look' is cool!


tis alot of fun. A good way of expressing your creativity too.





one of my favorates.

That is cool, I like the way they didn't mask up the tail lights when spraying it  :grin:

What are you doing to make sure those stickers stay put?

i have thought long and hard about wheels and the stickered wheels might be a step to far i think, although the more i look the more i want! to stop the stickers peeling and loosing their colour in the sun i've been wrapping them with clear vynil. the bonnet has been stickered for over 2 and a half years now. Theres a little wear and tear but generally awesome condition!










mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  :cool:

I was just about to say your petrol flap needs doing!  :grin:

All the above picture look  :cool:...

I wouldn't bomb the rack, perhaps go for something else to contrast against the bombed roof, hazard tape/black tank tape?
