Hi I have just bought Karlosfandangos Acid Yellow V6 and it has 2 black racing stripes, I hate them and they will be off as soon as I get time to do it. I dont think the car needs them.

ollie · Oct 13, 2006

hate is a strong word :rasp:

sorry but thats what I think of them, and cars like the Fiat Panda and Suzuki Swift are now getting stripes so that cant be good.

Scutch · Oct 18, 2006

I would personally say yes, only on the Racing blue. It was sold this way, so its not an aftermarket chavvy addition in my opinion. Here's my girlfriends old one...

ollie · Oct 19, 2006

oh la la :X nice

madmatt1 · Oct 20, 2006

dont let kully see that

Oliver_K4M · Oct 20, 2006

I would also say yes.

I love mine, even the car is red, but the R8 Gordini was in his later years also sold in other colours, red, yellow, black and so on.

madmatt1 · Oct 20, 2006

still think they look fab on the 172 cup

mike_1506 · Oct 22, 2006

Keep Them On!! Nice Pix By The Way!!!!

Tyler B · Oct 24, 2006

On the racing Blue 182Cups yes, anything else no.

Why specifically on a cup and not a ff?!?

Tyler B · Oct 24, 2006

I think they just suit the Racing blue better than most other colours and the fact that the Racing blues were sold like that, the others were not, its just what different people prefer.

djmode · Nov 6, 2006

i absaloutly hate the racing stripes but each to their own

Stuart.Atkinson · Nov 6, 2006

Keep Em!

Raining · Nov 8, 2006

Personally I think they look good on the right cars. It just depends on the look of the car.

I prefer to call them go faster strips

, because lots of people seem to think that just because they have the little strips they will be faster then everyone else.

But yea, they look nice on most looked after sporty cars.

Matt 16v · Nov 8, 2006

if you like em then keep em, you cant let the possibility that someone might damage your car put u off having your car the way u want it....have it your way and f**k everyone else...life's a bit short and all that b****cks

pacey · Nov 12, 2006

Keep em on

Get them off. They dull themselves. And if you leave them on now you will ALWAYS have to have them on as the paint underneath will NOT match the car.

lambo7 · Nov 14, 2006

where would I get some stripes put on my clio 172 cup around the stevenage area.......anyone know..??
thanks

joel_b · Nov 16, 2006

No from me, think they look tacky

GazCB · Nov 17, 2006

I'm undecided about putting stripes on after buying a non-special edition. But I would never, never take the stripes off if they were on there from manufacture. (as is the case with your gf's car)

Justin · Nov 17, 2006

same here, partly for the reason that i like them, and because it would probably leave a mark lol

GR7 · Nov 21, 2006

I'm not a car stripes person but my friend has a mini (bit darker than yours - it's hyper blue)
and her stripes are black with white edging and I like it better than white stripes, maybe you
could try changing them! Same as this grey below but hers is blue!.

Munday · Nov 22, 2006

This thread still going? lol

Still got my stripes and going to keep them (well I cant take them off anyway as paint would have faded!) lol.

ElleDiva · Nov 29, 2006

i dont think stripes looks good on the road...it makes it look like more a display car...but if ur going for the racer look then why not!

Jay · Dec 13, 2006

Can't believe this thread is still going!?

I still have my stripes.

Justin · Dec 18, 2006

brisa4984 · Dec 18, 2006

cbscup · Dec 18, 2006
