stripes on or off.....opinion needed.

[lbrench]

After getting my car broken into and my windows smashed and seeing another abarth with no stripes im very tempted to take mine off as i think the car draws to much attention to itself and im going for the clean look with this one.........what do you guys think?

and also what colour should i do my wing mirrors? was thinking either baby blue, burnt orange or bright red.......

mine with stripes

without stripes

cheers

So you are taking the stripes off to make the car more subtle but then you are going to paint the white mirrors a bright colour ....... and this won't attract attention more than the black stripes because ..... :S

because the massive 'ABARTH' down the side makes it stand out like a sore thumb....other plan is just stripes off mirrors and roof black, and the one without stripes looks so much smarted

^ He's got a point

Leave the stripes imo

Flol, exactly what I thought.

 

[KEVRSI]

if your going clean then off

 

[Xanda73]

Personally, I think if you do either of those things, you will make the car look worse.

 

[Italian_Job]

maybe just cos im italian but you cant take the stripes off a 500 abarth.
i love that car btw!!

 

[Addicted]

your two suggestions will ruin the car imo!

 

[coxy777]

There's one round here with no stickers/stripes. Looks very nice imo, subtle but to people like us still stands out.

 

[d4nmc]

If you want to... Take them off, it's hardly a big deal just being stickers and is easily reversed.

 

[Brian]

Leave it as it is, I think you'll regret taking them off otherwise.

You'll sell it next year when you're bored!

 

[Englebert]

Car looks ace as is. Sorry to hear about the vandalism, cnuts.

 

[Goodj]

leave it as is, aside from the broken window of course.

bad luck fella, any way to wire the body striaght into a nearby electrical transformer? That'd stop the f-KERS

 

[Naith]

i'd say take them off as i saw one without the otherday and it did look good, if not a little like a normal fiat.

keep them on for now.

 

[danzel]

Leave them on

 

[Riad]

Keep them on

looked nice in the trafford centre before

 

[Italian_Job]

yeah dont do it! in the name of ABARTH

 

[Brookie.]

Leave the stripes on, looks great with them.

Either leave the mirror covers as they are, or match the black of the stripes or the red of the centre caps/calipers.
