I just bought some black bonnet stripes and fitted them yesterday morning. I was wondering what you all though. I can always remove them

I have uploaded a couple of pics for comparison .....

ScottyB · May 23rd, 2004, 08:50 AM

I like - especially with the black roof. I must admit though, I do like the look of Dark Silver/black cars without the stripes too....

Have to go with 'dont mind them either way'

By the way - I looove the composure of that last shot

Great work on the photos mate!
