When I saw the topic headline I thought you must have put some tryhard GT stripes on it, but the stripes over the bonnet look pretty good. The new Fiesta ST has stripes like that I think.

Check out america for some mean *** turbo and supercharger kits pretty cheap for focus's. Dont realy like the stripes though as it doesnt suit the style of the car but thats just my opinion.

Stripes on a small car as yours that is not rice looks good. Its a case by case decision.

Not too shabby at all! It certainly stands out! I like it as its different- some dont like the Focus as a subject but I do...as I started a thread on this a week or two back to get help making my decision, Ill just say that the XC is having silver stripes laid over the Moody Blue. Hopefully itll look good but not too Cobra-ish..... I'll post pics next month when complete!

The car looks fantastic, Todd - really adds to the cars effect.
Your paintwork is always the standard in the club that everyone wishes they had, and this just looks great too! Tim |

I love the stripes mate, i have been considering doing this to my XR for a while.
I think the stripes and the big wing will go well. Have you thought about painting the wheels white aswell? What width are the stripes? 8" or 10"?

Look ok but maybe a thin line stripe on the edges of the two bigger stripe in a drifferent colour say a light blue like the Cobra Falcon had to help it look better.

Looks like you copied the fiesta. Not sure I like it, but it's your car.

My stripes are cut to fit between the washer nozzles and came out at 220mm wide each, with a 50mm gap running down the middle (which fits perfectly around the arial mount on the roof) Todd

Not my thing at all, stripes are for muscle cars.

Will this re-ignite the stripe or no stripe debate?
