Evening All

I have a black dax rush with black and cream interior and i'm toying with the idea of having racing stripes fitted.

Should i do it?, if so what colour stripes would you go for?

Cheers

Matt

Defo. Got to have them in white.

I'd say its personal preference so you should decide yourself!!

I'd say crimson red with black n cream though

Yup. Loving the racing stipes. Saw a very tasty Triumph TR4 with some in a classics magazine. Very nice too

matt black


iscmatt - 11/3/09 at 11:33 PM

yes! maybe in an off white?!?!

Gunmetal grey, if you have to.

If I had an all-black seven though, it'd have to be this livery:


Second only to Gulf-on-powder-blue in my "modern classics" list.

Yes go for stripes.

I will be getting one yellow stripe on BRG soon.


speedyxjs - 12/3/09 at 07:07 AM

Twin gold stripes


iank - 12/3/09 at 07:09 AM

Yes, in matched cream.

I've gone right off stripes now their sold as standard on shopping trolleys like Ford Focus’s.

In the old days it was a way to stand out with your smart motor like an Allegro or Bluebird but now their stuck on cheap tacky crap, its all gone right down hill like stripes on some greasy chav’s tracksuit trousers.

How about black car with a slightly lighter / shade of black in the stripe

Matt,

I'd go with stripes.

A lot of good ideas ^^^ black and white is a really big contrast, but black and silver may be easier on the eye.
Whippy has a good point about the tracksuit don'y know where you would but the fag burns though


Daddylonglegs - 12/3/09 at 09:00 AM

Definitely. But personally, I would go for different widths and offset rather than straight down the middle. Just my preference


pif - 12/3/09 at 09:36 AM

second the black on black, matt over gloss looks great and unequal stripes off set to one side is even better.

do it do it do it do it.........


Mr Whippy - 12/3/09 at 10:03 AM

you know you want too...



Findlay234 - 12/3/09 at 10:37 AM

Ive got a pic on an MK at home which is black with twin stripes down the middle. If i remember at home ill get it for you.

I was thinking about doing this to mine but thought on a dark day it might look a lot like road to an 18 wheeler!!!!!

I like this stripe, maybe with the two side stripes a bit wider
