Chris,as a rule of thumb the stripes should never extend beyond the number plate

I can't make my mind up if i like the little side strip bit so decided to spend some time looking for other 5's with stripes, besides the usual vipers.

I'll link what i find interesting on here.

I deffo think that you should go for the stripe if thats what you want, and a few decals near the front always looks good. I think i will end up getting a few small decals for the front side bit myself.
When i first got my Blue 5 i thought about going blue n white, which inc white stripes and white wheels, but i opted for a more street look

Cheers babe  

Tbh the latest incident is just another chapter in the life of the Ancient Mariner Blue.

Since buying this car i have had more trouble with it than with every other car i've ever had !!

But it has also created many an adventure, and i wouldn't change a single moment of it ! At least i can definitely say i didn't buy it like it is.

They look really good mate. Maybe spacing them a little bit wider to give the badge a bit more space. Just from an artistic point of view!

And Lise NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo you can't have stripes  
Well you can, just when we've got some cash  

I do like the stripes Chris, like Fi says a bit tight on the badge but overall it looks good.

Think they will look great mate but agree with Fi and Clive! Maybe just a little bit wider. Have always fancied some black ones myself!!
