POLL: Bonnet stripes or not?

[spjmorris]

As per title, can't decide if I want to go stripey or not

If I do fit them they will follow the lines from the grille edge and follow the swage line to the screen corners, NOT straight lines a la Mustang/Viper etc!

whaddya think

Cheers!

Do it in vinyl mate and give it a few weeks to see if it grows on you......its all down to personal taste in the end, heres my verdict though :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

EDIT ; anthracite stripes

Hey Steve, mate personally I'd leave it the way it is, it's a great looking coug. However, it's personal choice, if you like stripes then that is cool. I thought about stripes on mine, but if I did, would want something similar to this:

I second Mikey's view. This stuff is just too thick imo for stripes. Use a plain flat vinyl.

That's the stuff I used to wrap my rear lenses with.

Yes Tim, and it is good stuff for such as that, my dash panels are also wrapped in it.

Yeh, admit it would be far too thick to use for bonnet stripes

That would look great on yours Tim!

i did vote 'no'

However, it's been a while since i have seen a stripe on a cougar over the body like that. Think the last one was neil (casscougar).

A shadow stripe, just different to your paint colour might be better than something 'brash'

Yep that's what Dave was saying above

Hmmm......

Something like this then:

To be clear though, I do not want straight stripes like those, I was thinking more like this

 

[scunnycougar]

not a fan of that at all. prefer the straight ones.

Ye, I see. I was looking at more of the contrast of colour like similar to the Black Mustang, doing a silver stripe on your coug, so it doesn't over power the look of your car.

I meant something like this - just to show contrast:

 

[spjmorris]

I do like that black edging

 

[Pid_16V]

I could do a little 1:18 scale test for you if you like Steve. I've got some vinyls to do tomorrow and i have some very subtle light greys which contrast nicely with Silver Frost.

I would leave it as it is Steve or go for straight ones; the angled ones aren't working for me.
