Re: vinyled and striped!

I could possibly photoshop an image, but stripes are always hard to do, i find - well to make it look realistic. However i did find some photos on Flickr which will hopefully help you. http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=grande+punto+stripes The car isn't quite black but i think it shows fairly well what it would look like on a black gp and i think it does look good, but in my opinion im not a fan of the side 'punto' stripes.
Hope this helps you a bit.

Re: vinyled and striped!

Ive just booked my car for its first service at my local fiat dealer, and i asked about the stripes, however he said they do not do them or fit them. So where can i buy the (white) stripes from, and where could i get them fitted? - preferably in the hertfordshire/cambridgeshire area.

Re: vinyled and striped!

Re: vinyled and striped!

looks real good the grey matt finish looks spot on and the colour goes nice with the car

when i brought mine it had the strips on it but white, so took them off straight away...

like the way you got your vinyl to match... maybe some sporting alloy in the future

Re: vinyled and striped!

got some xenon bulbs in now as well, what do people think about putting sporting alloys on rather than after market ones, also has anybody had any decent quotes for lowering for about 45mm?

Re: vinyled and striped!

looks nice! i would go for proper sporting wheels if you can but if you want it to look different go for after market ones! i was quoted £50 in my area for fitting springs but make sure you check with your insurance company first as mine wanted an extra £130 from me, so i didnt bother buying any!
