De-stickering the car

[TiggsGTI]

Hi guys was just wondering about de-stickering the car as i'm prob the only one still with the original stickers! Seat really are sticker crazy!
What I wanted to know is-these stickers have obviously been on the car since he rolled off the production line and if I remove them will I have an outline and a mismatch? My boyfriend thinks it would look stupid to get rid of them as it will be a mismatch but I don't see how it will
Has anyone had any issues taking their cupra sport stickers off, is there a mismatch and would t-cut be enough to get rid of the outline?
Thanks

yes it does, and I my car is proof, as the sun fades cars paint (look at the kiwi for example) as the sticker was there, the UV rays couldn't get to the paint work, so when you take it off, there is an outline, mine has it, keep the sticker, they are cool as!

 

[TiggsGTI]

Oh. Is it really noticeable? Its just that the blue of the stickers is fading and most of the white is away so I thought I could just remove them and be done with it!

Don't even get me started

I don't see any on yours in your signature, in mine you can see them above the side repeaters

Check first page of my readers ride

I had 16v Cupra stickers on the rear panels, took both sides off and 1 side had been resprayed due to damage and the ****ers didnt take off the sticker, so when i took the new sticker off there was an etched effect on the panel. Looks utter **** and the fact it has faded over time too. Looks twice as bad.

If it's small enough you will get away with it, these were massive. Your paint would have faded though so it will still be noticeable, by you and whenever anyone walks close.

[gtikezz]

[TiggsGTI]

lol why? I'm trying to get rid of them! But since they paint will be a mismatch underneath I guess i'm stuck with them

 

[samc]

they were off when i bought it and trying to put it back to standard..ish lol
so far gone and replaced with standard is
lexarse lights
a piller with gauges (its a 2l 8v ffs lol)
exhaust(mk3 cupra now on)
peice of mesh for a grill
k&n (airbox ftw sounds so much better)
it also had an alloy beesting aerial that never worked so put a standard 1 on and it fell off haha

the previous owner must have used a spoon to remove the sticker on the tailgate cos its took loads of paint off with it
