Stripes

Hi Everyone, i think i have mentioned before that i was looking at gettin some stripes fitted to my orange GPS but iweren't sure on black or white. Well i was just browsing a local tinting companys website and found a picture of an orange GP with a white eight ball stripe decal. Mine will look the same but with M-Jet wheels.



What you think?

Re: Stripes

I think the black would stand out better on the orange. Also black goes well with your wing mirror. (Black n orange colour theme...)

Re: Stripes

It depends if you plan on doing any other mods, if you wana take it further with the car then think about what you might want. I really wanted black wheels so i knew that anything i thought about doing would have to be black also. If i had an orange GP i would go anthracite all the way, that colour is screaming out for the linea kit in grey, would look .

Re: Stripes

Has to be white mate, eightballdecals kit is pretty good, very easy to fit, did mine in about 15 mins. I left the front bumper parts though, didnt like them and need to make sure each side is identical as you can see both when looking at car head on. I have the black stripes on Chem Grey. Pics are on the forum.

Re: Stripes

Just my 2 cents, but i would say that any yellow, white, or orange car should have black details, it just looks right.

Why not be really different and go for something like pink?

Re: Stripes

Re: Stripes

thanks everyone, i think i'm goin to go for the white, just got to wait till pay day, i don't like the punto stripes as they are associated with the 'stripes' limited edition and its not, its a sporting. I like the bumper decals think they finish it off nicely.

I did till i saw them. They will be a right pain to fit, got to get them perfect or they wont look right. The side stripes are really easy to fit. Theres a 'crease' in the door that you need to follow, i did and the positioning looks spot on. Feel free to ask any questions on fitting.

Re: Stripes

Have to say, im not a fan of those, half on the bumper stripes, someone else on here has got some on a blue gp and it just doesnt look right. Looks like they have been misplaced there.
