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. Last edited by ford71V8; 15-04-2014 at 10:09 AM. Reason: removed MASSIVE picture of vacationer, was horrible |

All of them, especially the ones with numbers making claims as to ***** size. (Edit: why is ***** decalerd as vulgar enough for asterix moderation, its the medical term for ****) (Edit edit which is a male rooster,unlike Dick) (Edit edit edit, and Dick is allowed!, granted its a derivation of Richard but c'mon)

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

The first Gemini Sandpiper must've been a raging success.......
After all, they went to the trouble of making the Sandpiper II!!!

The Vacationer was an astounding success...it was one of the first "packages" to be offered to buyers. They dated back to the Kingswoods...one of our neighbours bought one every few years, a wagon, always in a similar shade of bronze-gold, from Kingswoods right up to the Commodore versions. They usually had air con and cloth interior with a few other freebies.
The Gemini Sandpiper: yes, once again, an option pack for a low price that made pretty good sense if you added up the extras, especially for things like metallic paint that wasn't even available on some lower end models without packs like this. Terrible stickers aren't the only problem...I vividly remember almost making a fool of myself when I saw the first Falcon GT R-Spec. I parked behind one while the missus was in a shop, and I laughed at how some idiot had put a Supercheap "R-Spec" badge on his new Falcon GT..."if it was a GT...maybe those badges are fake too". I took a photo with my phone, and almost...almost got on here and wrote a thread about the stupidity of the owner, putting an R Spec badge on it like every other ricer with a tatty old Skyline or something. Whoops.
