I just bought a BMW 316 compact (in red) today. Really pleased with it. Very tidy and a nice car to drive. Spot on smile

What I want an opinion on is whether I should get one of those 24" Pistonhead smilies (in white) and whack it on the bonnet.

I think it would be pretty cool, the missus thinks otherwise. I'll let the PH massive decide.

Edit : If you have bought one, post a pic. I want to see just how big they are.

One assumes they're about two feet.

Or possibly 600mm

You're not the bloke who was going to have the PH tattoo are you?

no.

I know what 24" is but would like to see it on a car just to see if it just stupidly big.

I'd do it on an MX5 or Caterfield, but not a hatchback

Oh dear. Is the car not hardcore enough to be talked about on a car forum? I'll get my coat...

In my opinion you should just get a small one to put n the rear bumper or boot. In my opinion the tidier the car is the worse it looks with stickers on it. For instance a ratty old fiesta covered in weird stickers is more appropriate than a Shiny '10' plate M3 covered in stickers.

I'm sure one of PHs own cars / fleet cars had one of the massive smilies on it.
Cant remember what car for the life off me though.

I helped a good buddy put an enormous smiley on the front of his car. Good for a gimmick, but not for a normal car unless PH pay the fuel bills (note to eds: I'm available! Please?). I'd suggest a smaller smiley on the rear like most folks on here have - discerning but recognisable instantly.

It was the cliosport200, think it had one on the roof.
Don't think it'll look very good though on your car IMO
