Default Worst sticker packs?

With the Holden release of the collingwood edition commodore, what are people's opinions on the worst Australian "sticker packs" to have ever been released on a car?
I'd have to say this collingwood pack & the Barina sports girl
In the ford corner the Xr family edition
Chrysler I'd nominate the valiant safari.

Not factory but this will get the second glances




But I always disliked the commo vacationer pack for some reason.
Maybe its the graphics.

In agreement with jpblue1000.
All sticker packs, esp on modern cars they look horrendous when they try to emulate a bygone era.

when I was an apprentice at a well known western Sydney Holden dealer that was located just up the Windsor Road From Baulkam Hills one of the other apprentices got them self a 2 door Barina I have know idea what he was thinking (yes he) but any how.

he wated the factory decals removed as part of the PD (they had some gordy white and Yellow GS Sport or somthing from memory) any how we also had to do the same to a Sports Girl model we decided we would work back to do the removals and well you can imagian how carefully we removed the sports girl stickers unfortunatly some how or other they fell off the sports girl barina and on to the Sports Berina.

When he arrived the next morning he cam to check out his car and he hit the bloody roof

Funny as hell though

Also my uncle owned a G-pak Torana for many years. His was the orange one with blue stickers everywhere, looking like a cheaper SLR5000.
It was indeed a 6 cyl.
Pretty sure the "G" in G-pak stood for gutless.

Hey, I had a Sunbird of that model with the Opel motor in it. I could tell you some thrilling stories of that engine...it's power, it's oil-tightness, it's torque, it's magnificence when backed by a Trimatic.

But I'd be lying.

It was a craptacular, oil-leaking (tin tappet cover on an alloy head), underpowered, torqueless piece of junk. How it was ever allowed into a Sunbird is beyond me.

Here's how bad it was: it made the engine that followed it, the Starfire Four, look amazingly advanced and refined...

My sister had one of those!

One day she took it to my uncles factory and fired it up. At the same, my brother fired his V8 ute up, then turned it off after a minute, while my sis left the Torrie running... After a few seconds, my uncle says "Takes a while to stop spinning!"
