Pimp my Salik!
Doesn't the view remind you of something like this?
I mean, seriously guys .. why does all the tags HAVE to be in that pale orange color? Is there any functional need for the sticker to be spotted a mile away? Why not have it in transparent or black color? If it was up to me, black would've been ideal. Because once you paste it on the windshield, the sticker will virtually disappear.
OK, here is an idea. Since everyone really REALLY hates Salik now, Maybe RTA should consider giving Salik a makeover ... perhaps it would ease on some of the flak they've been getting in the press everyday.
So, RTA, here it goes:
Why not re-introduce Salik tags in a wild range of colors. Giving our stylish drivers the chance to customize their Salik tags in a color that matches their ride, their mood and their personality?
With almost ALL cars in Dubai mostly white and silver; black, white and gray tags will be flying off shelves. Red, blue and their shades can be available..
I've rarely see any green or brown; besides, who the hell would wanna own a green car?!
I think it will work.
I mean, lets face it. We are building towers that spin, buildings shaped after local men and MP3 players, dumping the sea to build islands that look like trees, bars made out of ice and everything from personal loans to grape shisha can be delivered to your house.
Why wouldn't a limited edition colored Salik tags work?
Of course, "special" color collection for our bright-colored-car-owner friends from Oman is available. :)

I know - they're bright orange because they don't really have any wireless technology at all in them, the cameras just check for the orange color :-)

Ah, Salik. A brilliant thing. Indeed.
*curses*
I believe it is orange because there is nothing we can do about it. They can make it lime, and everyone will just have to buy it. Communism :P

emiratesmac - I wouldn't be surprised. Sadly, I know the company behind the implemntation. Each gate has 2 Cisco CAT 6500s installed - those are hardcore routers for serious data traffic management..
kj - everything is a conspiracy :)

LOL! Brilliant! Especially those girly colors for the picky ones.

Perhaps black or white salik colours would be most appropriate? Black, given the tinted black windows.

The colour was why I put off getting Salik for my car until my parents bought one for me... haha... now I think my car looks a little less pretty :(
