Was thinking of removing my white stripes and putting two either parallel just either side of the bonnet 'hump' or ofset to one side.

ultimately i'd like 'em down his backside as well...

Has anyone done this? Happy to take advice 'it looks crap fella..'

How easy is it to take off the stripes or is it a take me to your dealer job?

thanks all

Dave

stripes should peel off if you warm them with a hair dryer to soften them but it can be trickey it depends how old they are come vinal gets brittal with age
as for new stripes £20 at motor world gets 2 rolls of viper stripes you can put them on with lasser line so they are straite and line up with bonnet and roof there is a knack to putting them on but if you are paitant and practical it is not to hard mine are put on by me the only problem is bubbels but they got in a couple off weeks mine are not bad how but were a bit bubble when i put them on see my gallery for pics

At £20 that will be fairly poor quality vinyl.

vinyl is very cheap anyway... even the good quality stuff.... my mate works for a sign company and he said its dosent cost much.... like 5a quid a meter i think it is, dont know tho, cant remember what he said to be honest but i know it doesnt cost much... he has done me quite a few graphics now and the vinyl is very good quality and he said it costs very little...
