Stripes

Not to everyones taste i know but what colour do you think would look good with silver?

Black always look quite striking. Personal tasre really though.

Orange stripes will get you noticed.

a slightly darker silver IMHO as i like them to be subtle visible but not in your face.. thats why i went for black on my charcoal

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Now those I like :broon:

Andy Watson's are a great example, although personally on some cars I think they can make it look dated, tasteless, trashy and ruin it ...

It also helps if they are done professionally, and are straight :whistle:

Graphite grey on silver would get my vote.

My exact thought to,any idea who could make them and of course fit

lol i would like to blame it on the camera angle... but cant so maybe i will use the ecuse that i wanted to be different and have them slightly off angle haha.. will be doing them again t some stage.. its really hard to get a them straight when theres nothing straight to measure off

Daft question how much would they cost,but then again would it matter on cost !

mine cost about £12 on ebay

cp53 - When I wanted stripes what I did was use Paintshop Pro ( or any other graphics package, Paint.net is a good free one) and try out different styles, widths and colours. That way you can get a feel for the finished result.

The fitting of stripes is NOT easy, to get to a perfect finish let a professional do the job.

I had my stripes supplied to my design and fitted by a local vehicle sign writer. He fitted the stripes in less than 2 hours and gave me an extra 2m of stripes. The total came to £50. :woohoo:



Remember if you get fed up with the stripes you can always just peel them off.

There is historic precedence for stripes on MGTF's, there was the Vintage Racing LE



and the 85th Anniversary Edition


In the Vintage Racing thread I did there are a few more photos of other peoples cars with stripes, inspired by the Vintage Racing design. click here to view T-Bar thread MG TF Vintage Racing SE

Cheers will have to take a look at what i can do via photoshop
