Racing Stripes....YES or NO??

has any1 cn the top gear program were they put racing stripes on a totaly standard rover i think and it made the car over a second slower than the 1 without, i myself would rather b going that 1 second faster than the stupid stripes on most cars they just look rubbish!

I doubt the stripes make a car 1 second slower...plus so many variables involved you can't even test this very well. Putting two seperate cars head to head on a track like that will not really show a valid difference IMO.
The stripes look cool, though I would only have them if they were a standard renault thing, would never stick them on myself.

Now, i have just bought a racing blue clio sans stripes and am unsure whether or not to add stripes..... btw, i like the way you have extended the stripes over the bumper kully. 
Im warming to the idea of adding stripes as it turns out someone literally 500 yards down the road from me has a identical 54 plate blue clio (no stripes)!!

On the chic body of the Clio it looks as though the road marking painter couldn't be arsed to walk around the vehicle.

hw hard are they 2 remove? wil it damage the paint?
Wouldn't be hard to remove, just use a heat gun.
Paint work might me a diff colour underneath the stripes though.

I have them on mine and in about 6 months of owning it I have never had a single bad comment, if they are on the car when you buy it don't take them off, Racing blues with racing stripes are in limited numbers I think its a shame to change something thats already there, but I do think it doesn't suit any other colour
they are s**t and more importantly - why would u resurect a months dead thread, particulary one so s**t and clapped out as this???

I'd be most worried about paint fade. Wouldn't wanna take the white stripes off only to find I'd got two blue stripes in their place!

Never ever thought i would say it, but i like the racing stripes on the cup.
On the other hand, if you look at other manufacturers of hatch backs incorporating this look, for example the fiesta ST, then you would realise it doesnt look half as bad as their examples.
