Default HSV........I Just Beat One.

Hey guys I was reading the latest Street fords mag and I saw a BA ute with a "HSV I just beat one" sticker in the same format/style/font of the real HSV ones.
I was wondering if anyone new where you can buy em from?

Decal makers are pretty nifty these days, give them a design and they can print it.

I guess it's a self actualisation thing.

It's not like you'd see an HSV sporting a sticker that reads "BA ute I just beat one".

Any one doing stickers can make one to whatever design you want.

Not a bad idea to be noticed but some people can take it to far.

One bloke over here xt3valve has LIONHUNTER plates on his car, he came to find his car one day minus the plates.

Somepeople are very insensitive and dont have respect for others property. Sure the sticker looks good, but i wouldnt be driving around with it, i would cringe at the thought of "accidental" damage of shopping trollies.

Also depends whether it is capable of beatig an hsv . :

Yeh I have LIONHUNTR licence plates as schnoods pointed out. Some sad sack stole them one morning when I went into the shops to get a coffee. Didnt take them long. Even took the screws the idiots.

Someone cant handle seeing just some plates like that they must have problems. Its just somthing you have to think about when you put stuff like this on your cars nowdays. Too many overly proud holden lovers these days.

I had "HSV - I dont want one" made up once with the real logo and all. Got followed one day by some psycho holden driver. Ended up taking the sticker off.

Came across a sticker in a U.S Ford mag once utilizing the old Skool Chevy sticker, CHEVROLET, the HEARTBEAT of America. But instead read This is were the HEARTBEAT STOPS! in the same traditional design as the Chevy sticker.

I've got a couple of stickers that that look like the 'HSV - I just want one' sticker but instead they have 'HSV - I just ATE one'.
I haven't had anything powerful to put it on yet, but gives me a giggle when I look at em.

I like au3xr6's one. That's cool! :P

I would never want to put a sticker that has the potential to offend people on my car.

There are just too many idiots out there willing to damage it for almost no reason, why provoke?

I've seen the HSV - I just beat one berfore. Nothing to do with any other make of car but on my old panelvan i use to have "DON'T LAUGH IT COULD BE YOUR DAUGHTER INSIDE" safe to say i got some dirty looks off some old people but most people thought it was good.

Speaking of stickers. Does anyone know how much it would be to get a decent size tickford logo made as a rear window sticker

I saw the "HSV - I Just Beat ONE" for sale at an ALL FORD DAY afew years back. Wanted one ever since, also considered getting the Plate "TAMMER" instead of V3RSAC3, but I thought against it seeing as I wasn't looking for trouble, espec in a Holden dominated state lol ... However, i didnt have this sticker on my car, but with the increased number in tailgaters and people trying to run me off the road late at night, I removed it. Suited me well though, the people thought twice about tailgating me when i put my window down and looked at them :P :P



Now I just have one of my cousins workshops one on the back
