In all seriousness............................

The car is already out the ordinary because of the nice colour it's in. Why would you spoil that nice colour by putting stickers over it?

Personally I always think modifying is about improving the look of the car, and personally I just couldn't stand the sheer embarassment of driving a car with Tiger Stripes.........

For me, it's all about a real clean, straight car - nice set of wheels, nicely lowered but not too much, plenty of bling under the bonnet (or clean and standard), and just the few touches here and there. A full respray like you're suggesting just brings a car back to life.

I had my old saff, which was a scabby car, resprayed at a huge cost, and it came up so nice!

The reason why Tiger Strips work on some cars (like white saffs e.g) is because of how "solid" the colour is. The stripes do well to break up the profile of a white saff (usually because white saffs are a horrible white), but they certainly don't suit blue because of how close black and blue are to each other...

I think you'd "enjoy" the car more that way -at shows, meets etc, where people notice the car because of the good clean mods, and not because it looks like it just jumped of the front cover of a Frosties box
