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!!

Well this is what I have at the minute;

But you could go the extreme such as;

Or the interior;

naw naw suttle :Llike the first one the seat is a suttle car like i want something to finnish it of just :L

focus_mad · 30-12-2011 04:10AM

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

I usually get a laugh out of people with the dubway

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

no point in haveing it there if nobody admires it

now the "never been" was one i was serously thinking about doing

cause i think that ring stickers is pointless and silly :L

ottostreet · 30-12-2011 11:46AM

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!

dgt · 30-12-2011 05:46PM

Do it!!!!

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

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

I'm showing my age aren't I?

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

ToyotaMad94 · 12-01-2012 03:11PM

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!

scoobymunster · 12-01-2012 04:39PM

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?

scoobymunster · 12-01-2012 08:12PM

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
