I'm (rather hurriedly) considering some decals for the JAE. Nothing too in-yer-face but I was thinking of getting "GrittyShaker" along the side-skirts or suchlike.

I know there's quite a few who hate decals on here so, bearing that in mind, does anybody have any constructive suggestions?

Thanks

 

Scott, as we were discussing, I think you need to ask about opinions about putting the decals over stone chips though. Wouldn't it trap tiny drops of water?

I hope some experts will come along.

 

Ah yes. I forgot about that bit.

As The Woman says, there are a few nasty stone-chips in that area, will I get decent adhesion? And will it cause any further damage if I go ahead with it?

 

So long as the surface was dry when you applied the decals, and there was a good seal over them you shouldn't have a problem.

I wouldn't ask other opinion on stuff like this, as it's your car so you should do what you want to it.

I'd go for it

 

Just don't do it like this:

 

You apply decals with water

I would have thought it is fine, I've had a various amount on mine with no issues. It may only be a problem if the chip has taken away all the paint???? Not sure.

Plus if you are only putting them on for a short time it will be fine.

 

That's a very good point.

There is quite a bit of paint missing TBH. I'm worried that, if I did it, it would draw attention to the damage. I suppose that's my main concern.

Thanks for the advice.

Thanks, I've been browsing their site already as it happens.

 

OK. Got some ordered from vipergrafix. They'll probably look roughly (if not exactly) like this:



I feel so
