   Okk....
   
   I'm after some opinions (and i may regret saying that knowing what you guys are like) on graphics!
   
   Not just sax-p stickers, oh no, but decals like big rally-style "Saxo" stickers or flames, patterns, stripes, etc. etc.
   
   #1 Has anybody got any i could see pics of?
   #2 Will they look totally shite?
   #3 If not, what design?? I've found some company that will do whatever design i'm after (if i decide to get some)
   
   Please don't just yell at me for suggesting such an obscene idea No but really all input gratefully received

   Thanks very much Abi...the poor sod in the second pic seems to have lost an alloy somewhere along the way lol!
   
   ...And lol at the sax in mid air
   
   Those paw-prints would look very cute on your car! maybe u should ask someone to photoshop your car with the paws on?
   
   Think i might look into some side graphics similar to the pinstriped ones in pic 1 they're very cool the spoiler is HORRIBLE though!

   lol there is a sax round here with a very similar spoiler (its even worse in the flesh-so to speak) lexus lights and dustbin exhaust its so funny if im out the front with my sax they 'cruise' past aobut 5 times and when i go in i here them go past again but no more after that lol i have a good laugh at them
   i like the graphix in 1st pic aswell, might go and photoshop the paws on but that involves me going upstairs lol im feeling lazy

   aslong as you get the colouring sorted then i recon i would look good, nice simple stuff, just wouldn't go over the top if your gonna do it.

   decals =
   
   Actually looking at the photo it doesn't seem to bad. A guy at work has a fookin HUDE alpine sticker on his inferior clio. When i asked about his ICE setup he said he had a JVC head unit. WTF?!?! so why have on in the first place?! the Grade A tit.

    i think graphics can look good if they are kept in line with the colour/theme of the car. as long as they don't go to over the top or use stupid colours they can look good
    
    lozi - have you made some designs at all ?

    Watch what your saying mate, thats verging on just being ignorant! Have respect for other peoples taste! They don't change their car to impress you
    
    
    I don't like decals at all, of any description - BUT this girl wants info on them...
    
    and have you given her any?No
    
    What have you done?expressed your unconstructive critism
    
    nice one!
    
    
    Anyway back on topic - If you were to plan on getting any decals on your car, as Allan has already suggested - get something to suit the theme of your car!
    
    If you have a subtley styled saxo - put a few little touches here and there...but if your planning on heavily kitting it - get something to suit the kit
    
    i.e the Cituning S3 kit:
    
    
    
    
    and IMO - I quite like this car (apart from the spoiler)

    Yeah I'm really sorry about that everybody especially Robert_Erk
    I sent it and forgot about it... then realised what i'd said and came on here to give my apoligies.

    Thanks for the opinions allan, joe and others...
    
    I've got rather 'subtle' mods at the moment (i.e virtually non-existant) so i'll go for subtle designs.
    
    Might go for a large saxo logo like T0BY's - looks v cool, but mine would be silver. Robert_Erk i think your car looks awesome by the way!
    Or i might just go for some stripes down the sides, kinda graded in width. That's fairly subtle?
    
    I'll keep you posted whatever I decide
