Gordini striping

[mickey205]

what are you views on the Gordini stripes? I have a clio 182 cup in the Gordini blue and was looking into buying some. also where can I get these from and fitting of them in my area?

They divide opinions, I like them, others don't.

pm n2graphics I'm sure they can make you some, they're just strips of vinyl.


orrrrr, ask renault Wolverhampton for a quote for the 200 gordini stripes, they have little 'G's embossed into them and would look cool on a 182

 

[cat171]

Rubbish. Leave them off.

 

[JAParker]

Above two comments sums them up perfectly

 

[Advikaz]

Full on bent.

 

[Addicted]

Not a fan, especially the OEM ones which don't go the full way around! (on the bumper etc)

 

[KitsonRis]

stripes are cool. Just make sure it is a good job otherwise it looks shocking.

Making them is easy, the first time I put stripes on a car I just bought a roll of Fablon and cut it into lengths. The second car I bought pre cut ones. Clio is the first car I am not putting them on

my twingo got new stripes on the boot when it had a rear shunt, I think they come as a full set and it was £280 or there abouts lol

Renault have a brilliant sense of humour.

Can someone explain the origin of people calling racing blue gordini blue? It's seems to be all over the net.

They work on angular cars like that - looks fine.

182 / 200 / 197 shape - NO.

 

[Chili Red]

Looks far better without.

My first RB had them and I liked them, my current one doesn't and still looks fine. Personally I wouldn't bother if there isn't any on there already.

I'm too of this opinion, however I bought my 182 new in 2004 and specced the stripes. The car has lived an easy life being garaged for the majority of the time, but I still fear a difference in paint colour if I were to remove them so they're staying put.
I quite like that they're part of the heritage though and the fact that the invoice has an additional £125 on it for the stripes means they are staying as I want to keep it how I bought it. RB looks great without though and if I were to buy again I'd not bother.

I really don't mind the stripes on any shape, as long as it's racing blue.

The Albi blue they used on the mk3 gordinis is just wrong. As is the black.

I personally like the stripes on a nice RB

 

[bloke]

did mine with dulux gloss and joined two rollers together

[Marshall_Helmsdale]

My mate has stripes on his

I like stripes on an RB 182 personally. I like the contrast of the white against the blue and I like the heritage behind it.

Just don't buy them from Renault. The stripes on the 133 and 200 Gordini models had embossed G's on them, goes some way to explain the ludicrous price. The stripes on the 182s were literally just white stripes.

 

[COLZO]

Stripes on the RB 182 look fine. Better than tacky black diamonds/bullets!

 

[Goodj]

good Gordini stripes are good.

If you end up with something more like a set of Viper Stripes, that's less good.

I had 2-tone stripes on my 172, they split opinion like a axe through would

^^ This. Saying that I did have Viper stripes on my....wait for it....Fiat Cinquecento! But I was taking the mick with it as I also had "899cc and trying my hardest" in massive letters in my back window. My Skoda I did it two was two different sized off centre ones.

Do feel that stripes add that little bit extra to the car, but as many people have said the colours need to be right. I wont be putting any on my Titanium 172, but the Gordini blue is a good colour for white ones.

I'm going to have a bash at plasti dip stripes in white, if I don't like them then I'll peel them off. Otherwise, I might then consider proper fitment in vinyl.

Gordini mk3s weren't Albi

 

[Matthew]

They certainly weren't Racing Blue that for sure! f**king abortion them things...

Lol this.

they're closer to albi than rb

 

[mjf93]

I like them on a rb182 but if the car didn't already have them, like mine doesn't, I wouldn't bother adding them.
Also it looks horrific if they go down the bumper as it just screams viper stripe.

 

[unofficialPete]

Thankfully the dealer who sold me the car took them off.

Putting them on out of choice, just no.

 

[celicaturbolly]

I hate the spacing on the stripes, they look the same as a double yellow line on the car but in white imo :/ Stripes are a no no
