IMO in plain white itd look boring as shit, the stripes liven it up totally.
Wouldnt really call em viper stripes tho, not the same.
Seems a nice car but in performance (inc handling i bet) not in the same league as the Clios, and for that money quite a lot of other cars...
And regarding that having 150bhp and a ERST 130, i bet the ERST has better power to weight ratio, doubt that things light (unlike the Clio's, as long as they not got all the aircon and other homo options fitted)
