Anyone had stripes fitted to their car in Scotland?

Post by finlay » Fri Jul 08, 2016 4:52 am

I fancy getting some viper style stripes fitted to my S2 Exige. Has anyone got some recommendations as to where to go to get a sensible price for decent quality work please?
Had one quote from a crowd in Glasgow who wanted a faintly rediculous £500!

There is a place in Rutherglen who get a good rep. I'm sure someone will be along with their details...

If you are feeling brave, you can do a DIY job on it. Even I managed that. :thumbsup

Cheers

Did a DIY on my old Caterham R300 and I would have said it was "OK" no more than that! Out of interest where did you buy the stripes for your car and we're they pre cut etc?

I've seen some of these guys work, it's first class and they designed and applied sign writing to one of my old vans.

Maybe not close enough to you.

I had mine done by a place in Falkirk. In theory most sign writers should be able to do it. Cost was half what you've been quoted which I thought was expensive. :)

An old school friend of mine owns this place in Kirkcaldy

They seem to do plenty of vehicle livery and wrapping.

Thanks Scott, it's a bit marmite but like you I didn't really like the plain old grey. Looks rubbish in Scotland as it matches the sky and the road.

I like D's stripes a lot. Orange is my midlife crisis colour :-)
