    I've seen people talk here about decals. Putting the word into google / wikipedia didn't help me much. Can anyone explain to me what decals are, and how do you even pronounce it ? dekals ? or desals ?

    It's one of those words I musta missed all my life :)

    I just saw it come up again in this post. Is the author referring to the Saxo wording ?

    Yup, any stickers that are on the car.

    Pronounced de-cal.

    Im amazed your Google search didnt help; if I Google "decal" I get a wealth of information, including a pretty explanatory Wikipedia page :pac:

    Yes I got similar search results. But form reading the word here a few times and imposing my own context and meaning, the results I was getting from google didn't match my expectations. :)

    Pronounced deck-al, is French in origin. Just means sticker.

    I thought it meant "boy-racer", or "chav":D

    That'd be more "Decko".
