ok, dare i say it, im thinking about having a go at it.

 

yesterday i picked up a spare bonnet for the metro, for a bargain £15 (there is another one on ebay thats £150!)

 

however i dont actually have a use for it, i only got it as it was right on the doorstep and it was a bargain, but now its given me an idea.

 

i quite fancy getting a sheet or two of sticker bomb off ebay and doing the whole bonnet with it. i thought it might be quite fun and i can always swap back to my other one when i get bored of it.

 

what do you think? cool idea, or am i too old for such nonsense?

are you old enough to have sat your driving test?! if so you are too old for it

yes you are to old

It's not so much that you're too old, more that sticker-bombing is too young/naff/pointless.

[andy159]

go for it your never too old but you can be to young according to the law though

i always though sticker bombing was done when somebody had crashed then replaced the panel with a different colour one, then covered it with stickers so their parents wouldn't see. 

 

i dont know what colour your car is but white generally looks good. or matte black.

On the same lines as lapider, if you've got any bad paint/panels then you can always use sticker bombing to cover it up and have a bit of fun whilst you're at it! It's what I did, masked the crapness of my A panels for over a year  

 

 

I wouldn't recommend doing it on any nice bodywork though, just in case when you get bored and peel it off it damages the paint!

thats the thing, its mint! i was only going to do a spare bonnet, not my original one but i have decided otherwise now

I actually like sticker bombing on small areas i for instance have a sticker bombed steering wheel which I actually really like (didnt like the idea before)



I am 20 incidentally so still of the younger age range but I think the stickerbombing will get ditched when the minis made a little bit nicer but while shes tatty it can stay :)

I'm 42.

If its fun I'll do it and I couldn't give a flying wotsit what anyone else thinks.

If it makes you happy, do it.

I'm looking for ideas for my A-Panels, structurally they are in great shape but the paintwork is a bit naff so this might be an option.... and i'm 32!

Sod it like you said you have it as a spare! Have fun go wild with stickers!! You never now you may like it once its done, you may hate it who knows!! GO FOR IT what do you have to lose! If you hate it so much you an always flog it on eBay to some idiot for more than you paid ;)

[Daviewonder]

I thought stickerbombing was for those people who 'have' to modify their cars but only have a budget of about a tenner?
