Racing Stripes Yes Or No
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

I'd say crimson red with black n cream though

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.
Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

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.

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

Definitely. But personally, I would go for different widths and offset rather than straight down the middle. Just my preference
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

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.........
been a bit of a rush job really, bodged it all together in just 5 1/2 years.

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!!!!!

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.
