I like them! Maybe a little wider would be good, and carry them on to the bottom part of the nose cone. I'm doing the same in carbon fibre vinyl at the moment.

Cheers

Adrian

Looks good. I think stripes are a personal thing really and not to everyones taste no matter how you do them.At least if its stuck on you or the new owner should you sell have the option to remove them easily.

Definitely yes with the stripes, looking very good. Wider might look better, but I like em the way they are. Definitely makes me want a white car now, have toyed with every colour under the sun, but do like the look of it in white.
Think mine'll have blue striped tho

I'm afraid i have to agree David, twin stripes do look nice but i think they need to be wider.

Looks ace,I think we have just found the right stripe combination for the TeamTrain/Saturn race car as it's white too and will be red/white and blue.

id say personally its your car so only you should make the decision. they look ok i was going to do mine white till i saw yours in white and changed my mind only because youve done it and the fact it will look to alike with the r500.

what has your mrs said ? find the answer and do the opposite
