Default Need a tailgate graphic design..any ideas.. mine inside

Just had my new tailgate, with the lock, wash wipe, and all other bits removed, welded and smoothed and sprayed for the wrc rear spoiler

rather than leave the tailgate bare, i need a logo/graphic

the std 'escort rs cosworth' wouldn't look right imo.. also want to leave the scabby ford badge off!

ive thought maybe something like this



in dark red to blend in with the red tailgate.. or black maybe? (no Damo, NOT gold rofl)

any ideas on my design above? or any others?

(cue the comedians )

Doug, what you fail to realise, is i have the original tailgate, badged as it should be.. with the orig spoilers all wrapped up nicely ready to be refitted if and when...

Im assuming your horror is at the 'away from std' look ?

I like your design Dave, but definitely black and not dark red, it wouldn't stand out enough I don't think.

Yes Dave, I'm sure it will look "OK".........but IMO the WRC look is best on a white or fully "stickered up" car.........

I just cant see it looking right on a RED road car

Sure I'm in the minority here.....

Look at the classic shape \/ \/ \/ \/

OK, I misunderstood , take it as a compliment, as you don't normally do things by halves

Reckon WRC sticker in black, and personally, I think the chunkier 'Galaxy' Ford badge would look right in the centre of the boot as on later EsCos' also with the 'Cosworth' 'chrome' badge in preference to a stickered 'Power by' badge, imo

Dave, here is one ive done for a customers Escort WRC.

Not to everyone's liking but do that in a nice silver, or charcoal fray & i think it will look right. Not over the top just plain and suttle.

Take your pic Dave


Dark Grey, Silver, White, Black, Gold or White. Or if you look to the back on the shelf there is a nice shade of dashing Pink

Mike, having the sticker on a standard tailgate is ever gayer.
