Hi!  I did this last year, but I used a plastic wreath.  I didn't get as

many comments as I thought I would, but a few people noticed it.  When I

took it off, there was a BIG UGLY BLACK MARK on Baby's nose.  At first I

thought it was through the paint, but it turned out to be on the surface

where the wreath had been pushed back at speed.  A little elbow grease took

it off.  So keep the wreath tight, and make sure it doesn't touch the

paint.  Keeping your speed in double digits will probably help, too.  This

year Baby ('90 red) is going to wear a BRG hardtop instead of a wreath!
