Bonnet Stripes or Not?

I am buying a yellow Westfield which is currently all yellow except for the clack spots, winow surround and weather gear. Been considering whether or not to put bonnet sripes on the car, and/or side stripes. Has anyone done this on a yellow Westfield or have any photo's of any westfield that has this?

What colour option, black on yellow, or orange on yellow?

Any thoughts, or best left as the yellow belly?

For me yes, it's too bland as it is, black on yellow always looks great.

V nice car by the way

If you do use something use black.

There are loads of things you can do, my car is black so no point showing what I have, but the WF logo, or the twin sidestipes are all available ( from Ebay not WF lot cheaper, sorry WF but you are too expensive)

Nice car BTW, welcome to LC builders.

Yes, you can ask the company to redesign them (If they will) the company I used were happy to modify the design. It wasn't either of those links though, pretty sure mine were cheaper than that, not by much mind. The WF logo can be made as well and sized to suit your needs.

Needs tasteful bonnet and side stripes - probably black, needs a bit of photoshopping!

Wow, thank you so much that is just great to visualise. If not too much trouble, can you do one with a viper offset, one thicker line and one small line on one side of the car bonnet?

Thank you so much.......you must share how you do this.

You could always get yourself a couple of metres of black vinyl and make yourself some tiger type stripes.



I bet that car will attract flies etc when parked up in summer. Looks like a very nice car. Good thing about using vinyl is if you dont like it you can remove. Hence trying some DIY stuff first and then maybe get a pro shop to do it better when you have the concept you want.

I have ordered 8m of 100mm stripes and 10m of 12mm stripes, all lack vinyl. Will give it a go, cost £20 delivered so no major loss if its a disaster. Have been thinking perhaps an offset stripe on the bonnet? Side stripes maybe, but do not want to go over the top. Loving the photoshop images.

I assume you are unable to read U2U's for some reason, anyway here is what I sent you.

Hi there, drop this guy a line and ask him what he can do, his email is

mark@funkygraphics.co.uk

He charged me £20 for the stripes ( both sides) and £9.50 for a logo that is big enough to fill the spare wheel area ( you might not need one there, but you could get a smaller one for the bonnet...)

Thank you. New to the forum so still working out how it all works! Been really impressed by everyone's useful input and comments, so thanks to all.

I have ordered a 100mm wide roll of black vinyl, 8m of it to allow for all my mistakes and a 10m roll of 12mm wide vinyl, so hopefully will be able to do something with that!? At some point I may also add the Westfield side strips!?
