Hello all, as the car is stuck in the garage until I get the fuel pump sorted (hopefully that is all it is!) I was thinking of putting some vinyl stripes along the bonnet area (a la R500), so where would be the best place to get them from?

Thanks

Lee

Your local signwriter place should be able to supply and fit if need be. My stripe was £80 in total, but it also needed a few hours work to do the compound curves round the nose.

There are several different types. For very curved areas there is one that shrinks with the low heat of a heat gun but its best leaving those bits to the sign writer and doing the easy bits yourself. I use a silicon rubber scraper to remove air bubbles, you can use an old credit car but I found those tended to scratch the film. Don't fit them outside in the wind or on a hot sunny day or it will be a mess.

Thinking something like this:

I've got the machine to cut this stuff, so you're welcome to drop me a line if you need bits and bobs done.

im wanting to put vinyl in the side of mine similar to a yelllow r1 mk indy on ph. i think ive found a place local but wondered of prices

Now here here! I stole the idea fair and square from C'ham a long time ago, now everyone wants orange stripes on a white car. I am thinking strongly about the idea of black rear arches though; that looks nice.

Am about to order some stripes, ready for when the car is back up and running, so what colour, White or Black?

All opinions welcomed....

Graphite / light grey - maybe ? think they would look good on a blue car
