50 / 50 on the stickers tbh, you would be wise to refit your cambelt cover however.

I'm still no closer to deciding whether to just leave it or take them off - more effort.

Unfortunately my cam belt cover suffered a mishap when someone decided to bury their foot through the cover while I had it off just momentarily  :cry:

You got a build thread for this car anywhere? Looks like a lot of money, blood, sweat and tears have gone in to it! Would be a great read

I'm against them, in particular stickerbombing panels or fuel caps, don't do it for me. But I think they can look good under engine bay in particular under the bonnet itself on the engine bay side of it.

I've not got a build thread, when I put the stickers on I wasn't too sure and part of it is because it's the first time I have ever put any sticker/decal/badge on a car and every time since I've looked at my engine I can't help but notice the sticker alot more. In my mind it's sort of at home now.

The car is a 5 door mk4 1.6 and converted to 1.8t with forged conrods, completely rebuilt, supertech valve stem seals, valve face cleaned, valve grinding, port matched, casting marks removed with the usual bits replaced during rebuild like oil pump and pickup, all bearings and seals, piston rings, tappets and so on. I've stripped it down to 1120kg while I been bored saving for a turbo upgrade.
