They're not that simple. The bonnet stripes are not just a uniform strip, they are actually shaped to fit the contours of the bonnet.

Don't be so cheap

go to your dealers and get the proper stripes fitted - it won't cost you as much as you think, and they will look absolutely right instead of DIY.
