I thought you would have gone for a slightly wider stripe than that... but it's still nice.
That side shot.... is the pin stripe on the right longer than the rest? and is the pin stripe on the left not managing to cover all the black at the bottom couple of inches?

Anything else ?

Ken. Liking the pinstripe detail a lot.
Good thing about the vinyl is the peel-off-ability if you get sick of it. Someone on exiges.com recently had their stripes painted on - you`d have to be confident to do that!

Started off with wider stripes - 8" but decided to cut them down to balance the gaps between the lights and the stripe and the centre of the bonnet. I think the smaller stripes really work.
Oops
looks like they missed a bit of the black of the bottom of the side stripe due to the angles - never noticed that until I looked at the photo.
Some of the work was quite tricky with the contours of the car.

I wasn't meaning that in a bad way... before I get booted in the nuts. I was just remembering your thread where you started a poll... and the stripes you seemed to like on there were wider. Hence why I was expecting you to go wider.
You should be able to fix that bit at the bottom yourself easily enough... just pointing it out in case you hadn't seen it.
If you can post more pics, I'll get torn in to them also to keep JJ happy

No problem - yes I was set on white wide stripes however I was given loads of photos and advice from the guys on here and a real cool modelling tool which changed me onto black with silver pin stripe. When the guy put the 8" stripes on it just looked uneven so reduced them until I was happy with them. I am real pleased with the finished article. The guy who did it stated that nearly every person who comes in for stripes starts off wide and ends up narrower.

JJ you are right it has to look good for yourself and it is really trial and error as you stated in your last post which is totally why paint is a bad option. Advice from other guys just gives you more options rather than solutions.

Stripes are the way ahead if you ask me.... not that I'm biased or anything...
