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 ?!
