    It depends really... I have a "dubway" on the rear windscreen on the Beemer..
    Had a "I'm not drunk, I'm avoiding potholes" but haven't gotten around to puttin it on yet.
    Just something subtle may suit the SEAT

    Google sticky rings and go onto the site, it has all types of stickers. Some may take your fancy..

    And before anyone asks...no I didn't come across that site while looking for something else!! :D

    Well this is what I have at the minute;

    Stickers.jpg

    But you could go the extreme such as;

    BarrasStickerbomb.jpg

    Or the interior;

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 738 ✭✭✭focus_mad


    yeah just a couple I think sets the car off well..

    I usually get a laugh out of people with the dubway :D

    Each to their own, that's what makes looking at other people's cars interesting!

    Want to get one of the "never been" stickers too..(a piss take out of the people that have the ring stickers but have never been)

    yea thats wat u want sure :D no point in haveing it there if nobody admires it :D

    now the "never been" was one i was serously thinking about doing :) cause i think that ring stickers is pointless and silly :L


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,987 ✭✭✭ottostreet


    No no no...don't do it man! Stickers in general look terrible! Ones to do with the car like...VTEC, MIVEC, GT, TYPE R, VERSION R (on real cars obviously) or engine code stickers can be cool...but anything else is just tacky as hell!

    Please tell me you sealed them with a few coats of clear, if not they will be coming away pretty soon and the ones that are left will be super pale from the sun, clear coat it or you have just wasted a decent book ;)

    btw that comes from experience and trial and error, im still trying to find a good clear to deal with heat, maybe i need to use more :confused:

    heres what i did

    When I eventually get around to buying a car, you're sticker bombing it for me.

    Yes that would be correct.

    Dub style isn't just about VW's.

    Google it and you will see.



    Danny.. It's so that all the local peeps know it's my car :D

    I'm showing my age aren't I?

    Flat 4 could be Subaru too.. penny just dropped.

    It just ruins the car in my opinion! I might be all for just a small sun strip listing something to do with the car, but not all for this "stickerbombing" craic!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 170 ✭✭scoobymunster


    I know it's a kinda old thread but word of caution to the OP - going by your thread in the motoring forum, bear in mind any stickers/mods you do to the leon(which has you mum as owner/main driver) will cause issues with the insurance company in the event of a crash. So be careful what stickers you add to it!

    Stickers can cause trouble with insurance?
    Want to expand on this?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 170 ✭✭scoobymunster


    Well if the OP plasters the thing in those cheesy slogans "drive it like its stolen" "no smoke no poke" etc. that and whatever other mods they're planning, the true owner will obviously be questioned by the insurance company in a crash. How many middle aged mothers(im guessing) do you know that would do any mods to their car?

    It's not the insurance company's place to judge the the owner bassd on the slogans they choose to put on their car. They could just be there ironically.

    The only way modding a car is going to void the insurance is if you have undeclared performance mod's or illegal modifications.

    Sticker away as long as his mam's alright with it.

    That would be the rational thinking, but we all know what lengths insurance firms go to to avoid claims.

    Talking of stickers, I will have to invest in more for the new car :D

    Always threatened to get one of these stickers for the Bora,but then i realised it was basically just advertising in sticker form how potentially sad my life was at that point that i needed to guage my car against a tiny wheezey Japanese engine inside a honda civic* :D

    hey these are fantastic.
    i have just crashed my adapted van (for disability) :( and regret putting the 'amazing' purple and pink flowers all over it.
    every little glitch you make either parking, over taking, moving out, moving along, is monitored. next time "Ah do you see HER again? she is the one who..."
    well now the said van is wrapped around a tree,which i took down in the process, i need to get a new van for my mobility scooter and wheelchairs.
    but never again putting stickers on the frigging outside.
    i am an impecible driver! so i am told, i believed it until the tree greeted me in not a welcomed fashion. my whole life shot past me..it was NOT pink and purple pretty either.

    Do these stickers have to painted with any sort of finish, once applied to say a petrol cap or even if the sticker bomb is inside the car?

    If your stickerbombing then i wouldnt do it without a few coats of clear over them, gives it a much better finish and protects them from peeling

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,076 ✭✭✭superstoner90

    Oh god no. :D Im planing on buying a mk2 sporting punto, From a good friend. ;) Might do abit on the front left wheel arch and the petrol cap. :cool:


    The yaris is running just about. I have to charge it at night, its as bad a my nokia. Somehow the car is draining the battery. The local mechanic(who had no clue what was wrong with it) is bringing it into work one of the days soon. As he works with another lad that is supposed to be mighty with the cars.

    But sticker bombing the yaris, :rolleyes: Jaysus. I can just imagine the stickers covered with cow sh1t. Oh dear.:pac:

    Oh right. Clear varnish wouldent work? Would it? I know this is probly a stupid quistion. But sure if you dont ask, you wont know. ;)

    Varnish is for wood, use this on top of the stickers and clean the panels with this first to ensure the stickers stick.

    And while you're doing all that, subscribe to these lads. :)

    Ya, Ive learned abit since I gotten into boards. Well still though, Id say I could write all the stuff I know on a postage stamp. And you would still have room to write a 1000 word essay on it. :D

    But the video is very helpful.
