Guest, New Stock alert: Premium CUPRA valve caps now available in the store ? Order now from the merchandise store
I hate the association with burberry and fords. Attend an actual Ford-fan meet like the RS Owners Club and you'll see that 99.9% of those in attendance are mature, responsible car owners with a wealth of knowledge and a very friendly and helpful attitude.
I'm a long-time Ford fanatic but decided to move to the Cupras when I hit a brick-wall with my Fords. (Not literally, of course). I wanted a hot-hatch, preferably a turbo and it had to be recent. So that's the Focus RS and the Focus ST. Both more money and too-high in insurance for me. Which is a shame.
Fords around the globe have been associated with the twin-stripes for an age. Long before this plague of fake burberry (Burberry never made caps.. btw. 1911 English designer label.. destroyed wholey by market tack). And now, if I mention my fondness for the ease of maintenance and modification of the CVH engine, I'm branded a chav!? Madness
In closing: Stop branding all Ford fans as chavs.. it just doesn't wash.. and secondly.. Stripes on a Leon? Please... no

I don't think anybody on this thread branded Ford fans as chav... but they did brand big stripes down the side of a Leon as chav. Quite rightly, IMO
What about these graphics on my Leon, same look dark laquered look on a dark car...
Honeycomb to match that on the front grilles... Yeah or no? Very subtle i thought... so what people think?
I am too cautious on vinyls on cars, most look like shopping lists on a halfords or never match the lines of the car its stuck too...
This i thought was subtle... especially as i said, if done in a dark grey metallic vinyl on a black car...
P.S. sorry to hijack, but its to do with vinyls?!

Subtle vinyls on a car like yours slick can and probably will look superb, as you have the rest of the look to match them.
I just don't think they suit standard cars.

Hmm... stylized graphics, tastefully picked and kept in check with the cars lines, curves and for want of a better word, "feel" are no problem.. in my eyes.
I've seen a Leon with a honeycomb vinyl on a bit of the bonnet.. towards to front, passenger side edge near the lights. They were a 3D effect as if to make-out the paint had peeled back and the honeycomb grille had been applied to a section of the bonnet.
It was tasteful, in my eyes and was on a dark-blue Leon. The vinyls were grey and black. Very nice effect.

I've just spent the last 10 mins goggling the hell out of every combination of "photoshop guides + cars + leon" and "photoshop + tutorial + "car vinyls" etc. trying to find the damn website. There was a link from a .co.uk tutorial page that took you to a site full of ca vinyls and bodykits for "inspiration". I found it last week while photoshopping different alloys onto my car.
If I locate it mate, I'll be sure to post. In fact, if I locate the tutorial site at all.. I'll post that as well. Superb for every kinda car alteration. Photoshopping lowering, rear-light conversions, body-kits, wheels and window tints, vinyls, decals and even front-end conversions etc. The bloke did them all in detail.
Even managed to whack an S2000 front end on a Focus.. it was done so proffessionally, it looked good :S
