Cobra Stripes - opinions?

Got bored of trying to sort the alternator and spent an hour Cobra striping the Liz. :lol: Was going to go yellow at some stage so thought I'd see how it looked with the white vinyl I had in the garage. Now I reckon I prefer the stripe in white. What do people think? Should the stripe stay or should I just revert to plain Racing Green? Or go the Type 23 wide yellow stripes that I originally wanted? Apologies for the quality of the pics...

At least it'll stop the stone chipping!

tbh i really like this! - think the white should stay at least for a few months and then if you fancy you can change to the typre 23 stripes.

my gf hates cobra stripes tho - too boy racer apparently!!

You must be hand with the vinyl and stanley knife!

Looks cool. Does it go up and over then down the back?

I guess they'll be staying for the near future then! There's a few untidy bits when you look real close and no it doesn't go down the back (yet...) but not a bad way to waste a couple of hours. The vinyl is just the Fablon sticky back stuff that you get from B & Q - it was left over from some ill advised door squares I used to run on an old XR2. Not hard to apply as long as you're patient...

With the car being fcuked, at least it wont get bug splattered! :cry:

Then if you get bored, wait till its all bug splats and peel them off and have "bug-splat inverted stripes". Could start a new trend!
