Im really not sure

I think if the top stripe was black to match the line of the bumper insert it would flow better.

But over all i have to say i dont like it, it just doesnt look like it belongs there, with all the rounder smoother mk4/S2 bits surrounding it.

I think also because your car is white, it looks wrong, maybe it would look better on a dirrerent colour car?

just my opinion tho.

I think the stripes need to be longer so they meet the arches

I first got S1 stripes 9 years ago and didn`t fit them because they were too short, then a year later i had the idea of buiyng two sets and making them look right.

I think it looks nice mate, i had them on my mercury grey one but wasn't sure about them, but they look good on a white one, agree with what the twins said about them meeting the arches though that would definitly look better.

no rust? you need to get to spec savers!!!! 2nd pic, look at the gap between the bumper and wing u can see the rust starting to form behind it, its quite common place for them to go, even on low mileage cars

rest of the car looks mint
