Default What option should I go for ?

Well, hopefully my car is being sprayed soon and I have a brand new tailgate to go on it, but I can decide what to do about decals etc..., I was going to have nothing at all and have it de-locked, but am kind of liking the standard stickers again now! lol

Should I go for :

1) Standard "Escort RS Turbo" badge and ford badge
2) One or the other of the above two
3) None at all
4) Chrome lettering

Should I get it delocked?, I think I would only do that if I had no decals at-all so the boot was totally smooth.

I put chrome up as option, but im 99% sure I would NOT do that as I dont think it suites the car myself.

Opinions ?

Am leaning towards keeping it standard as I quite like it that way really, chrome is not for me as I dont really like it, and it's been overdone.

Had standard and then went to the MK 6 "ESCORT RS" letters with a silver turbo sticker and then changed the sticker to a "Turbo Intercooler" badge from a Vuaxhall and now have a plain solitary Focus "RS" bade on the bootlid.

Depend what you fancy to be honest. I kow it's not to everybodies taste what I've done with my badging but it's my car and I don't care
