Get the stripes on, to make it look sportier!
Imagine this without?
I think it would look bland.
Ford are not offering the stripes on the Orange or Sea Grey now.
When Ford have shown the ST it is mostly the Orange and that's because it's a limited colour, hence the extra cost, but when the Blue has been on display then they displayed it with the stripes on. What does that tell you?
Makes them look more special. IMO and Ford!
