having a tattoo, drinking a different brand of beer, smoking and dressing in different coloured shirt to the person next to you is daring to be different??

If it's just a road car you spoil it IMHO. If it's a track car go for something like Tim & Oli did witht he NMS uo the sides, that looks cool.

Like you say, each to there own but personally im not a fan.

I think it will look the bollocks with tiger stripes aslong as you strip it and cage it (but not with a pretend alloy cage!).

don't be a sheep and start covering it with wolly jumpers ffs

go and look at some striped cars first, then decide

you don't want the car looking wank when it's parked up on your drive while you hide behind the curtains thinking "wtf have i done, it's hideous "
