Default rubiks cube advice

Is anyone able to help me, I cant get all the sides of my Rubiks Cube to match up.
Is it possible to peel off and transfer all the same colored squares onto the same side, or will this void the warranty on my cube once done?
Once i complete this cube, I want to upgrade to another brand, something a little bit better, any suggestions?
I am sure we have some Rubiks Cube guru's on our forums.

Id suggest a bigger exhaust and flash tune......oh wait...

Once youve worn this one out, go to a 19" cube, should look good. :

You may need a mod plate for that. Best check with an engineer.

It's a known issue. Take it back to the dealer and ask them to perform the TSB on it.

The colours don’t match up with it you say? Is it a Ford cube? … ah well they all do that and that’s within tolerances?

The centre square of each side is the only square that doesnt move. Match up the colours to match the centre. Saying that though it sounds easier than it is.

I agree, putting it back together is more fun than the original concept.
(after pulling it apart about 100 times it does get a little loose though)

Define "complete"..... and you want to upgrade?

You will need a pen licence for that.

Sounds like the muffler has a hole in it mate, so you've had leaking gases that have been leaking out gases. It's fairly easy to fix all you need to do is get a screwdrive turn it clockwise insert it into the hard drive turn it off do 10 star jumps kick the tyre and BAM if all goes well your rubiks cube will turn into a giant laser gun and kill some mega hot alian chick and ashton kotcher or how ever you spell his name will find his car.

If it doesn't buff out six cans of paint (one for each side) in the six required colours will do it.
