Mike Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Just to add my two penith worth (?) I think it's a question of all or nothing... Shopping list down the door looks cack and the subtle graphics make it look like a special edition fiesta or something... ....but on the hand, Dale's car rocks...!

SupraStar 3000 Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 exactly my point! Graphics are controversial. Most loath them without any compromise regardless of individual merits. I don't understand that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale B Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Agree with Chris. Graphics are toss. So is Red but I wouldnt offend anyone by saying so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 oppps, didn't want to create any tension between us fellas. Just curious. NB: yea, your right Dale. Red is soooo gay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 So is Red but I wouldnt offend anyone by saying so You wouldnt offend me as its your opinion and I dont exactly have a fragile ego which is dominated by my car gaining acceptance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Graphics are utter toss, but its the sort of thing that the young-uns and chavs seem to go for recently... However Dale B's car looks absolutely superb! That mostly due to the fact that its there's no random stickers, but an overall theme - including the paintwork.

Dale B Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 You wouldnt offend me as its your opinion and I dont exactly have a fragile ego which is dominated by my car gaining acceptance Im too old to have a fragile ego, what I do have is the grace to realise that people like their own cars too look a certain way and wouldnt say any Supra looked "TOSS" unless provoked into a reply.

RedM Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Graphics on a car? Despite his comments about red cars Dales is the target to be aimed for, sticker-wise. Looks amazing. Or go for full D1 stylee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornimac Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Ah Chris, they stick them on so that you know how much they are spending on the car you see. That's the reality! The "sophisticated surprise giver" gets my vote any day. Go graphics if you want but subtle and nice - no lists, my opinion... Graphics on a car? Despite his comments about red cars Dales is the target to be aimed for, sticker-wise. Looks amazing. Or go for full D1 stylee. That's the thing.. full on performance show-time, or chavtastic... not much in between... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 The moral of this story is, if you're going to do it, do it right. Dont stick shopping lists down your doors etc. As stated above Dale's car has done the job right and looks good Wasnt having a dig at your car Dale, it's just the thought of graphics always brings up images of corsas and knackered rover coupes with dragon graphics on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 Never been a fan of graphics (btw, I don't think the Mines wone suit the curvey Supra), but if a trader said "hey Gaz, I'll fit a double decat, e-manage with boost control, pump, fcd and a Nur Spec exhaust, for free, but on the condition that I have my company logos on your bonnet and doors for 6 months..." I'd take them up on it, and do a few trackdays, rwyb's and dyno runs. Sounds quite fair to me.... Don't Techart & Gemballa (sp?) sling graphics on their Porsches?

Jake Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 heres my design. Hmmm. Not for me. You should definitely lose the "Dear Santa" list down the door. Some gfx looks good. I think SupraSam's graphics on her blue car are quite subtle and well done but most are too 'ghetto' for my taste. I've seen Dale's car in the flesh and I must admit it does look good and professionally done but, to be honest, I would be embarassed to drive it. I prefer either stock or the mean/stealth image for my car, I guess I'm too self concious to drive a "LOOK AT ME" type car, e.g. CJ's motor.

Terminator Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 It is you choice, if you wish to stick graphics on your car. If you are convinced it is for you, just do it. By asking are you actually really saying you have doubts. Personally dont think they have a place on a quality road car. Most of the cars I see with graphics in this area are horrid little shit boxes with a huge wish list stuck on the outside. As for graphics on a MKIV why spoil the beautiful lines. If someone is going to pay you a wedge to advertise for them, then it migh be worth a one year contract to pay for more mods. If it will not improve the performancce of your car don't do it.
