Right then folks I know I maybe starting something off now for all you marmite bumper stripe fans but cannot decide if I prefer my car with or without bumper stripes.

Fitted grey ones recently as shown in the photo but not sure if prefer it more before or now with the stripes.

Opinions please. Excuse my exhaust haven't got round to fitting the new tip yet

Red stripes always look best on white cars IMO.

Ooh NO! Deffo not imo.

I think the car in the pics needs a dark Black/Anthracite stripe.

as craig said i think a black/dark metalic grey stripe would look spot on and split all that smooth white up a little :)

One that matches the wheels would work

Yea when I ordered the tape it did say dark grey which I thought was great but when it arrived looked more like light grey/silver.

Anyone know where I could find dark grey stripe?

Best to get to a local vinyl sticker company and get you some 12mm wide into long lengths made up, you'll be able to choose the colour you require ;) Order plenty incase you ever need to replace any in the future.

^ same as that.
black to match the wheels would look best imo

and some black vinyl on the pillars would look smart too :thumb:

After trying some darker stripes im still not convinced by them so im thinking of having the bumpers painted to match the wheels. Anyone have any pictures of a white nova with painted gsi bumpers?

it doesnt keep with the original theme, but black bumpers would suit it better imo. no stripe needed then.
