Racing Stripes....YES or NO??

[Alex_225]

That looks sweet. Shame they didn't offer that over here!

 

[Tony Hunter]

If yov'e already got them keep them.But luckily mine came without.Dont try to remove them

 

[portland]

Voted no. Didn't even read the thread. I retract this if you have a Gordini blue model.

 

[mij29]

keep em,
it's makes them that little bit more exclusive

 

[21mc00]

Yeah they look good, but not for me

[Alex_225]

Need to change the title of the thread to 'Racing stripes on Racing Blue' so that people vote correctly!!?!?!?!

Anyone able to do that???

 

[Justin]

poll is pretty close now

 

[Alex_225]

I know but I'm wondering if people are voting right now!? lol

Bearing in mind that from what I've read most people say they like em yet it now shows a majority say no!?!?

 

[makavelli]

the poll is exactly 50% wow

 

[_Kenny_]

not for me

 

[makavelli]

bugger 2 more people just voted no lol

 

[_Kenny_]

I like them more than I did butI'm just plain and boring lol

 

[ja.jack]

I vote yes. They add a bit of much needed distinction.

 

[shortos]

Most of my mates think that my racing blue with stripes looks like a toy car. Therefore I am keeping them as it is clear from their own car choices that they know nothing. And i think they look as smart as a carrot.

 

[Jones]

Stripes are for a dodge viper not a clio fiesta saxo etc etc if your going to look gay you'd better be fast so no one can see you

 

[S77CCP]

There a factory fitted option, not some chavtastic add on. If the vehicle (whatever it is) has them as a option then it's ok in my book. But someone putting them on afterwards is just plain wrong.

 

[Munday]

The Renault Gordini racing cars of the 60's were out before the Dodge Viper though.

 

[Alex_225]

Good point Munday, so they actually have more heritage and as much right to be on there as a Viper!!!!

Nice to see Jones coming up with a constructive point!!

 

[KyleB]

for me, they have to stay

 

[BERTONE]

for me, they have to stay

I love them BUT how come some cars have them finishing ABOVE the plate and badge and some Below?????????

Surely someone must know?

 

[kates clio]

Keep them!! They look great!

 

[ja.jack]

My dealer told me that they were put on by a graphics contractor after the car arrived at the dealership,so up to his interpretation of where the stripes start/finish ,going on a guidline from Renault.

Can that be right?

Really??????????

 

[Alex_225]

I suppose it makes some kind of sense!! I mean I wouldn't trust Renault to clean my car let along put stripes on and expect them to be straight. lol

 

[dazraffan]

Really??????????

there put on at the factory

the length of then change in august 2004 pre to that they where full length after that there only to the badges and number plate

 

[Matteh]

are they meant to be on the drivers side? i.e the drive looks down on them?

or is that just a coincidence/flaw of LHD/RHD conversions

 

[stes rsi clio]

no take them off!!!

 

[Rob.]

Have theses been taken off yet ?

 

[Alex_225]

No they are still on the car!! lol

Having just spent £350 on repairing the damage some cretin did in a car park, I don't think she wants the hassle of potentially faded paint round the stripes!

Interesting too see that its nearly a 50/50 split on people saying to keep em or not.

 

[Type-Robbo]

I've got a Racing blue without, and do prefer without I think. Saw one in the flesh at the motorshow a couple of years back, and wasn't as keen.

It's all down to personal preference, and if you can put up with comments and maybe unwanted attention, keep em!

I'd be too worried about removing them anyway.

 

[Alex_225]

Thats kinda the conclusion we came too!!!

Taking them off could cause a whole heap of troubles if the paint has faded round em.

It was purely the attention that concerned my missus. Then she comes out with 'shall I get the wheels coated white??' lol that won't drawer attention!!

 

[froggygwen]

I say they're.....
















FANTASTIC m8 keep them! they just go with the car !

 

[Munday]

This vote is fixed

 

[Alex_225]

It does seem a bit suspect, unless the people voting 'No' aren't saying much, literally voting and not commenting!! lol

 

[Chris_4536]

Keep 'em on...

Gordini rocks!

 

[ja.jack]

I have white Buddy Club alloys on mine, which I think really compliment the stripes.

 

[DebV6]

I passed one the other day with stripes, the first one I've seen on the road for a while, and it did look lovely!

There was talk from my missus about getting her cup alloys powder coated white, reckon they'll look pretty good.

Got any pics mate???

 

[tomehb]

i say keep them if there standard :>
