iRC Stickers

[pipsyp]

Hi guys,

A bit of a silly one but just wanted to see what people make of the new iRC stickers on the vRS.

My car being a late 2011 build came with them, I didnt really want them or like them but kept them on for a while to see if I'd grow to like them......needless to say I didnt so the wing and rear window stickers were removed today whilst giving the thing it's first wash.

Votes please!

Not sure yet since I don't know what they look like on white. How easy were they to take off?

[Auric Goldfinger]

...............and what do these stickers look like??

[dickyd]

No for me

Emailed dealer today requesting they be removed prior to car being delivered

Look a bit of an after thought in my eyes but hey , beauty is in the eye of the beer holder....

i like them and have ordered a set :yes:

[Didescharlie]

I'd keep then on my car if it comes with them, can't see the point of retro-fitting a set though.

[VRS-Powered]

I like mine on the car, just a nice little touch IMO

Wing stickers are very poor quality, dont think they would have lasted very long anyway. Gave one a slight tweek with my nail to see how well stuck they were, got damaged and had to come off. Both sets (wing and window) v easy to remove

[JamesDensley]

I thought these stickers look pritty smart but would only keep them on for awhile reason being it says 2010. If it didnt say 2010 on the badge i'd keep them.

not a fan myself, off with their heads i say

[pipsyp]

car definitely looks cleaner without them. They're not tacky but do think they are somewhat of an after-thought. If the wing stickers didnt have the year on and were painted would be OK i guess

[MartynVRS]

Need pictures to see what they look like. Isn't there one in the rear window too?

If you do a quick search in the forum for "VRS - IRC CHAMPION 2010" you’ll find a post from '32KOFDATA' who’s made a Pdf of the iRC stickers compared with the original ones.

ive actually told my dealer that IF i ever get the damned car, i dont want those (or any) stickers on the outside or inside of my car. lets see if they listen eh

[Turbo Dezzel zz]

100% yes

[pipsyp]

Interesting views, was expecting more people to be negative about the stickers.....car without doubt looks better without them so I'm glad they're gone on mine. I'm also not that bothered Skoda won the 2010 iRC championship not why I bought the car haha

[Jayw]

Just out of interest, whats the best way to get the stickers off with damage to the pain?

Razor blade and coarse sand paper to finish? Blow torch and scrapper seems a little like overkill

Also got a dealership sticker in the back window which i want to get off & a Skoda assist on the windscreen. I thought they might peel off nicely, but no luck

Any hints appreciated

[pipsyp]

The wing stickers I peeled off with my nails, came off in bits but without leaving any marks or glue. Rear window sticker came off easily by hand and in one piece. Dealer stickers are often a pain though, didnt have any one mine fortunately!

[Rsrob]

Have to say i like the stickers and think they look very good

[MartynVRS]

I quite like the stickers. The only one I don't want is the dealer one in the rear window. I'll have to tell them not to put it on. Not that fussed having dealer markings on the plates either but I'm hoping to get some Dubmeister ones

[Rsrob]

I remove the dealer sticker from the back window when i got back from the dealer with the car they are a no no :no:

I quite like them. Think they're 'different'

[pipsyp]

Yep definitely surprised by the response on this, was definitely expecting more negativity about the stickers as whilst they arent bad they are an acquired taste.

Those of you still waiting for your cars that are going to keep them on, be interested to see how long the wing stickers last before they start coming away from the car. They seemed way too easy to damage and remove; also appeared that dirt was already starting to ingress around the edges of mine; on a white car not good!

I did quite like the rear window sticker but personally I still think the vRS looks much better without all the decals. Let Skoda advertise their rally wins on billboards, not our cars I say!

Personally i am proud to be buying a car associated with motorsport success, and like the stickers for that very reason.
