Hey peeps I have been offered the octy below and wandered if anyone knows it? Just want to get more info on it.

Also, is it easy to remove the vynals and stickers?

I must admit I have to agree with you there, go for one without the stickers, the seller would do better removing them first.

I really don't like the stickers either. Just wondered if the owner was on briski . Also is it easy/expensive to remove the stickers?

Expensive?, no.

Easy? Not always.

The best way I have found is to heat the stickers/vinyl with a hairdryer and peel small areas at a time. Keep the bit that you are pulling on as close to the paint as possible to lessen the danger of removing large flakes of paint with the stickers particularly if they have been in situ for a long time.

Was at Castle Coombe last year, but not on the Brisky stand.

Hmmm... It should not peel off paint when removing stickers surely? That would become expensive!

Not keen on buying modded cars of non forum members. Usually (but not always) means they are not as well cared for. Removing the stickers should be ok it is the vynal that makes me nervous.

I think he is a member coz I think he put a post up last month showing the decals coz if I remember right he had two VRS badges on the grill and black spiders.

I don`t think it looks that bad as i suppose it`s something different at the end of the day. I`ve become very fond of stickers on cars since owning my WRC Octy VRS (this doesn`t include the shopping list`s which boy racers put down their doors). It`s all down to personnal taste and i think you would be far better off buying one in standard spec as there are a few fairly priced ones about.
