has anyone sticker bombed their cars?
If so. where do you buy sticker from to do it ?
Whats that then?
Putting a load of pointless brand names (Greddy,Nismo,Veilside etc etc) on your car??
Why do that????
I mean you wouldnt slap a sticker on your face with Niva For Men or Gillette Fusion on it,would you???0 -

Do a bit of research before you have a go at some one, would you?
You're completely wrong, go figure it out for yourself.0 -

Well the power of Google does it again.
One question though,with regards to this sticker bombing.....
WHY the fcuk would you want to do that to a car???????????
It started out with drift cars that take regular beatings, a bag of stickers of anything is a lot cheaper than getting a panel resprayed.
It ended up as a "thing" to do in certain modifying scenes and when done right it can actually look decent.
This was done by one of our own

In a nut shell, its personal taste. Just like everything else. Personaly I'm fond of the humble sticker bombing. I dont get the carbon fiber wrap, but like I said just personal taste.
As for the sticker bombing I think less is more. Some people would only sticker bomb a wheel arch or a fual cap. Others might stickerbomb their roof or bonnet etc...
Good example.
Bad example. :eek:

hard to get pics in daytime, dont start untill 11am tomorrow so should get some, one side came detatched today and was flapping around, i drilled a small hole in either end and put a cable tie through it and tied it. Holding solid now, hopefully that is the problem sorted. Plus the cable ties are invisible

You should heat the wrap as you're applying it, not so much the surface that you're applying to. The glue on Vinyl is generally activated by heat, so yes, heating the surface may help somewhat, but direct heat onto the vinyl itself is what will activate the glue properly. It also allows you to stretch and shape it as you fit.
When you have it in place fully, you should have enough overhang of it to wrap around the back of whatever you are wrapping, then heat again and press like fook to make sure it stick tight around the back/edges of what you have wrapped. It should prevent it coming loose at all, ever. 0 -

Now, i do like your stickerbomb effect (dar83's advice as regards applying it is also good. ten mins with a haridryer even would do wonders).
But i must ask as i often see it and ask myself "why do people spend money on mods before the car is in good order".
as in why are you spending money on stickerbomb and the likes but your going around with a huge dent in the car? surely the car would look better without the stickerbomb and having the wing fixed?
your car, your rules, im just asking 0 -

your car, your rules, im just asking I'm in the process of trying to get that fixed, I tried a scrap yard that had the same car and colour but the same wing had almost the same dent. There is another scrap yard a bit further away I might try. BTW... I didn't crash it. Some moron ran into it and drove off when it was parked up. 0 -

I was actually looking at this option a while back for my black mk5 golf
I got a dent on my bonnet a while back and am having huge difficulty in sourcing a suitable replacment. repair cost is over £240 :eek:
I have a spare bonnet (wrong colour and also dented) that I can mess around with. I was thinking something like this...
this is my car...
thoughts? (or is anyone good at photoshop?)0 -
