I have been toying with the idea of taking the graphics off my car but am in two minds so, should they stay or go?

Playing devil's advocate here. It's definately cool, unique and very special, but on the flipside I'm not sure I could drive a totally stickered up car day to day, sometimes feel like a tool even with my nameplates on the rear....
But I did vote to keep.

Definitely Keep it mate, it looks amazing.
Just buy another VX for the times when you dont want to go out in a fully stickered up car.

just think about how many people crowd over your car! and the attention it gets and how happy it makes the younger generation, expecially your little one.
i voted to keep them on.
end of the day tho your car is there for you, if it makes you happier with it just being red take them off.

Keep it. I like the lightening McQueer look. Without it your car is the same as every other VX. It made me think about trying something with my bag of bolts. (thought about a black front with a chequer fade down the doors into the yellow).

Not had the pleasure of seeing it in the flesh, but it's so unique that I think it should stay.

My god son who is 5 absolutely loves your car Mike...he has a picture of it on his wall because he can not believe that his uncle knows of someone who has it.....
It is unique and a credit IMHO to VXs!! He wants me to do mine in the other LMc colours!!

When that girl at the Jacks F&C shop asked if it was the real one, that was priceless. You've got to keep it, you might have someone start talking to it and asking how Mater is ffs

I know but I am so undecided it is nice to leave the decision up to the democratic vote.
