I'm tempted to do this, but what colour? I'm thinking white, but what type of paint should I use and do many people do this?

You can buy rolls of pinstrip.
-
Imo, i think its an ani thing.
Upto you however
-
yep you will need 6mm pinstripe.
-
Thanks guys, I'd never of thought of that! Since it's so cheap it'd be rude not too.
Do you think white would look good against jazz blue?

Only if you had White on your car. Like white badges and wheels. But I still think it would only look good if you lost the gti trim and had it colour coded

I'm not really a big fan of the fully colour-coded look, I like the combination of the black and blue but think that the white might help to make the look of the car more 'finished' if that makes sense, maybe blue?

Can only try it dude.
-
yeah you need a slight colour theme going on somewhere to mach it to really. my black golf had a silver pin tripe to mach the chrome wheels.
i did do abit of a risky colour theme on my black one that worked i recon though. could try this but in white or something

i actually really like that second pic :smiley:

Yeah it was atually a triple pinstripe with a sharp angle cut in the end. It did look pretty good when I did it. Propper 80's style lol.
-
I just thought, there is some white in the stickerbomb on the fuel door :tongue: That's blue, black and white

Red 6mm Stagecoach pinstripe is the best. U can get it off ebay for £3.75. The halfords tape does not stick too well.]
