With or without

[1.8Stilo]

In my opinion, maybe smooth the whole rear bootlid and have the numberplate mounted on the rear window; i know its a bit naughty tho! I fink loose all the over badges and keep the abarth badge but leave in on the right handside; it dosent look rite in the centre but thts just my opinion!

Like it wiv the tints, light tint but effective what percentage is it.. not to keen on the limo black looks all abit to gangsta wanabe and basically cheap... what you gettin done the whole car or just the rear windows?

why the respray mate??

EDIT: dont do the rear window etched transfer!!!

why the respray mate??

There are a few faults with the bumper and spoiler that need ironing out, both in the paint and on the bumper itself and the paint is bubbling around the edges.

I have one day left to decide guys I still can't make up my mind.

It looks like most people want the car debadged so that will be done in some form. But what am I gonna do with the Abarth badge.....
It has to stay on......

So do I leave it where it is or put it in the middle ? I think the middle personally but others have suggested via PM's that there will be too much space around it and it may look lost IYKWIM.... Unless I put it back on in the middle and get a bigger abarth badge from somewhere... :chin:

Hmm, now I have had a chance to read this, I reckon leave the Abarth badge on, and where it is now....Debadge the rest of it.

I say debadge completely and have a sleeper and a car that only true afficienados are going to appreciate what it is. But if you don't like this option, stick the abarth badge in the centre and ditch the rest.

I have decided what I am doing now... That was quick. But I have no choice because I just made a purchase Watch this space

Cheers for the input everyone

Probably wont make a difference as you say you've made a purchase.
Anyway i agree you cant remove the Abarth badge.
I think you should remove the rather large 'nose' Fiat badge and keep the rest as is!
Ive partially debadged mine and just kept the 'Stilo' on the back and i think it looks good, saw it on the Merkur site (orange stilo)
I personally think its too large an area to have totally plain and also suggests a shunt up the backside that hasn't been repaired properly.
Its up to you though!
The car looks superb by the way!

Thanks for the input and the complement Shminkypinky

The main reason for losing as many badges as possible is to keep people guessing. The amount of times I have heard people say "What is it" and then look at the back end is unbelievable. I want them to look at the back end and see nothing except for the Abarth badge. Then those that don't know what's what will still be left guessing Especially the Chavs
Do you have any pics of your rear Shminkypinky ?

IMHO, when i see a car de-badged or with altered badges, i wonder to myself whether it's a genuine performance model. So I recon leaving your badges as they are makes people realise it's a genuine Abarth.

Don't have any pictures of my car at the mo, haven't really done anything to it so its a bit boring however if you look on http://www.merkur-tuning.de/indexa.html and select stilo (on the LHS) there is a yellow Stilo where I got the idea from. And I love the orange one!
