looking at this kind of design ... so not over the top but im really not sure...
laughing and thoughts welcome... just wanna set it apart a little but without making it look nasty!

any pinstriping other tan round the bumpers will look naff :undecided:
-
thats what i keep thinking...
but then i think it could look good!
just cant decide....
might get someone to do a photo shop for me... cos my paint shop one is ****
:D

Imo, that will suck... sorry, if your going to do stripes, do them across the bottoms of the doors, like this....

Your car looks black, do the stripes in a dark grey, or cream... very retro! :wink:

That's not so much a pin stripe - as a stripe.

Agree with bottom of doors if anything, go to your local vinyl graphics maker ( the guys that do black cab graphics etc ) . They will be able to make whatever you want ! I added 2 stripes to an old mini I had years ago, looked awesome, cost about £20 for 3 metre stripes. What about white chequered strips along door edges ? Maybe fading effect ? Might be subtle and not too ott likes ?!
-
cheers guys!
not sure about the bottom of the door stipes...
but will have a think about it, like i say i keep thinking it may look good,
certainly will have a think about the above suggestions!!
have got a photoshop request in the relevant section to see if someone will have a bash at a few ideas :)

I have a mate that does Vinyl graphics on the Mellors-Elliot Proton rally cars. He also does bike graphics etc.
He's only based in Bakewell so not too far from you. Could go through some design ideas with him.
If you don't like it after a while then just take it off :wink:

well as sad as it is, i just went and taped some white paper to the car in the vague fashion of how i wanted it... and in the flesh it kinda suits the car!

defo worth a shot, lol!
-
Haven't got his number to hand at the moment Mate but you could mail him....
graphics@memuk.com
I'll sort his number out for you and send it via PM :wink:
Andy

-

Just remember it's your motor Mate and you are allowed to do whatever you want to it if you like it :wink:
Plus, as Wayne has already said. If you don't like it, peel it off (although I would recommend using a hairdryer when removing). If you were painting your car Pink then I think there would be issues :laugh: but this is only a graphic, a big sticker that can come off at any time :wink:
Go for it if you like it, when you get bored of it take it off.

cheers all!
well this bloke sounds sh!t hot so will let him have a play...
wayne - never seen that on yours before... looked well!!
cheers andy, gonna go 4 it - as you say, will soon come off!!
thanks sharki - i appreciate your opinion!
thats the look i dont want it to have...
bit will see how it turns out....
im just thinking that the car lacks some eye grabbing... like the st's grab you in with their boldness then you appreciate the car the more you look at it!
thats my thinking anyway, if ya get me!
but i do see where you're coming from as i have thought it myself!!
will update when i hear more :D
cheers!
