Good man - as for the stripes I will be going with Black (following the Red/Black theme for the car)............
I've been trying to put my finger on it and you have done it for me
I was thinking a touch of GT40 and somebody else thought Lambretta
Thanks SS, I guess I had better order some up and get them on before I get stopped...........
Had one of those 'doh' moments last night driving up the M1 to pick up my wheels. There are miles of roadworks with a speed limit of 50 mph and average speed cameras all the way along the roadworks. Despite the fact that there was very little traffic on the road I was a considerate road user and kept to the 50mph limit as I didn't want a £60 wonder through the post. It wasn't until I arrived home I realised I could have got away with a slightly faster pace as the average speed cameras read the front number plate NOT the rear!!!!
The stripes are VERY GT40, I really think they will suit the solid colour B's and cover up the nasty panel joint on the rear wing...........
Can't wait for SS to get me a set

An update on my amp/speaker insallation. I have just ordered an Infinity reference 6010cs speaker component kit so it should arrive early next week. Went for the infinity speakers after the recommendation!! Ordering a wiring kit with what else but yellow wiring for the battery/amp connection!
I intend to place the speakers as a direct replacement for the Fiat ones but if they turn out to be larger then I will cut out the black plastic grille that is in place at the moment, I'm sure that the new ones would look better anyway!

You won't be disappointed.......
First time I fitted Infinity speakers were after my old Pioneer's were stolen from the parcel shelf of my BMW 3 series about 12 years ago. I was looking at replacing them with new Pioneer's, the guy from the ICE company that the insurers appointed said that I didn't have to go 'like-for-like' and that if it were his money he would go down the route of Infinities - glad I did!! :slayer:
Whenever I upgrade a car ICE system I always go for Infinities, IMHO they are the best you can get without spending silly money.........you will notice the difference!!
Now, about that body stripe...............

It's looking around £40 for both sides plus P & P, I will confirm tomorrow hopefully. No VAT you will be pleased to hear

Excellent - now I need to figure out how to purchase it without letting the missus know............
You know that work up North?? I'll meet up with you, all clandestine like.....

Top man - its a plan!!!!
Just so you are all aware, I am able to offer the Barchetta stripes at £44.99 including P &P in any colour
They are made from very durable vinyl, mine are a gloss black. Of course, any name can be added, it does not have to be Barchetta
I intend to post this in the classified also.

I am up for a set but am going to have to leave it until I either make progress on the hall or next wage packet...........line me a set of gloss black ones up!
Also, is it possible to get the 'cut-outs' from the Barchetta wording? Just a thought.............

No problem just let me know when you want them as for the cut-outs, you would only end up with a couple of blobs!!
Dunno if you've decided where to put the guage's but you can buy tripple mountings that fit into single DIN adapter if there is space in the dash anywhere?
Don't have a clue what the B's dash's look like tbh
P.s Add me to the list of people with tool envy

Cheers Jamie but no, no room in the dash on the B
Looks pretty good for a yellow car
Stripe suits it well also
Although not sure on the wheels but each to their own
