    Help me choose a decal for my doors - need to cover holes :(

    My car had some ugly Vitaloni type mirrors (no offense intended if you like those) which have been removed in favor of stock, leaving holes in non-stock location.

    Ok, I realize that the real fix is to weld them up and reshoot the doors but I am enjoying the car too much to do that right now.

    So, I was thinking of putting on some decals / vinyl graphics to cover the holes. Since it's not really the location one would typically have a decal, I'm struggling with choosing. Thoughts so far: pegasus, skeleton pegasus, Heuer pentagon. Open to any ideas. Here is a pic to show the offending holes to be covered.

    a decal would seem out of place, I would rather paint a small rubber plug.

    +1

    And you could pre-paint the plastic plugs in body colour before installing them, as opposed to leaving them black.
