Fellow Villan.....the more I see the R26 the more it grows on me.....I want one!

If I go for it it will be full decals - IMO a definite yes.

Want a white one though :(

I've ordered my R26 with the decals, I'm gonna see what it looks like when it arrives leave it for few weeks then remove the ones i dont like.

Least that way it gives u the opportunity to make ur mind up, wouldn't u be gutted if u ordered it without the decals then changed ur mind.

I dont think thats right about the laquer.

And what are you doing believing what the dealer says? They are the least informed people to ask about a renaultsport!

I'm really not sure. Without the decals the car will look like a cup. But I don't like the decals.. If it were me, I'd see if I could leave some, maybe just a bumper one, and delete the rest..

My local dealer has a liquid yellow ordered with decals, one of the roof ones was already peeling off on delivery. So they removed all roof ones and left the rest. As is quite often the case your dealer is spouting sh1te, they do not have a laquer over them.

I told the dealer to check it out properly,and now says it can be removed at a later date if i dont like it.

Thanks for the pic Marc,doesnt look too bad might keep it on anyway.

Yep was in the stealer today, they are actually raised stickers, so easy enough to take off :)

I was also told they can't be removed. I'm leasing mine and was told they couldn't supply one without. I visited the dealer (they didn't know I was leasing one) and they told me the same thing - only the roof ones can be removed as the ones on the bumpers were too thick. I then realised that they were just trying to chuck one they had in stock to me rather than factory order me one. After a lot of moaning, they've ordered me one.

I also suspect the info they were giving me about the stickers not being able to be removed was a load of bull. Mind you, I don't expect any better service when dealing with Renault. I've got a few good stories from my time with my 182, but I won't bore you all!

Yup they are all just trying it on, the stickers can be 150% removed.
