stripey car.. or pimp my ride!

[BiggestNizzy]

but bear in mind they will protect the paintwork and after a while if you remove them you will have shiney unmarked unchipped unscratched stripes

So... do the stripes themselves chip?

not especially they are made of sticky back plastic

Didnt realise I could attach files... I got this from somewhere, so you can muck about with stripes.
PM'd CatD but she mustav thought I was gonna give her some virus or somefink as she didnt reply!

Anywho... enjoy!

Now you are asking, I'll offer my opinion ... well you did ask (finally)
I am not a big fan of the twin stripe (sorry Ross, DDtB, Ken, Jim et al). If you do go down that route I think that it is a must that they are emphasied/detailed with a black pinstripe. That said, I do kinda like the twin stripes of two complimentary colours similar to the ones Andy has posted in his link. I have no idea which colours would suit your car best, girls or JJ are much better at hat kind of thing , but you have a great looking car anyway so don't kill it with something that looks tacky .

I still think that the best use of stripes I have seen is on Mandy's S2. The "single" wide stripe in the contrasting silver really enhances the overall appearance of the car.

I always had a secret fancy for matt black stripes on a black car, so shoomer might not be too far off

Of course if i was ever to get any stripes ( ) it would have to be a matt black car, with polished clear topcoat and 2 luminous green .5" pinstripes over it.

[renmure]

Maybe stripes are on the wane. Premier Engraving can also do a full "wrap" of your car.

How about Chrome??



or Matt Black



Infact.. maybe I will look into this a bit more

I like the single stripe, like Mandy and Mass, but the flames have really got my imagination going. I'm thinking a nice one on the bit just behind the back wheels, on each side, like you're generating some real heat from the tyres!!! Very cool!

Not sure the image transfers over to my Europa too well, tho
