I'm thinking of buying this decal to put on my (black) bonnet. I've never done anything like this before so even though it might sound like a stupid question I'm just making sure. To apply the decal is it as simple as just pealing the sticker off and sticking it on? Or is there more to it?

Can decals be easily removed? Do you personally like them and would you advise me to have one? Also is it silly to have this sticker on a non sport Clio? Or does it not matter? I don't want to look silly.

Oh, so it's not as easy as just sticking it on?

Think it is just peel off, stick on to be honest...make sure the ares clean though!

Oh no it is (pretty much). He makes them I mean.

You need to make sure the area is really clean, and dry. I'm not sure how you take them off but putting them on can be a b*tch depends on how good the sticker/vinyl is.

Putting it on you will need to clean area, dry (use kitchen towel).
The sticker will be cover on both sides remove the back carefully and select area.
Then gently put one corner down, see what you think, If you like the area its in, if not its easy to remove at this point. Then if you do place down smothly from one corner to the other. People use credit cards etc to get it smooth, i would just use my thumb and a cloth. Then you remove the top protection really slowly so it doesnt remove the sticker. The carefully go over the sticker and make sure it is all stuck..

Hope this helps and makes sense..

Ok cool. I do think I want one... I'm just concerned about how to get it off for example if I put it on wrong, or if it starts to peal, or if I start to dislike it or need it removing for some reason. Any info on removing would be helpful.

peel off carefully then use AG tar and glue remover

iirc heating with a hairdryer makes it easier

I see. What about if for example 5 minutes after I've applied it I realise I don't like it, will it come off easily because of the short time it's been stuck on for? It would only take me a couple of minutes to make up my mind.

This is the look I'm going for. What do you think?

Comes off easily mate. Ady usually sends a little info sheet with his stickers on how to apply them correctly, so you'll be reet

It's as simple as peeling the backing off and slapping it on. Will come back off easily using a hairdryer and your nails, and no before you ask it won't damage your paintwork as long as you don't go scratching it with your nails or something.

Thanks for the help. I'm going to purchase the decal at the beginning of next week. If I have any problems I'll let you know
