i couldnt take my car to a funeral due to the pink tiger stripes on a e36 bmw ,,,,,,, missus said it wasnt appropriate, after we borrowed my mates motor for it she kept on at me to take em off as she hated people looking at the car

Tiff - that really was the perfect reason why no-one should ever have stripes ever again!

Looked awful!

There was a grey s2 in one of the mags years ago with stripes,they were like a metalic blue and purple it looked wicked,there was also a company advertising them on escort cosworths and they looked the bollox.would be good to see some stripes on different coloured cars coz there done on mainly white cars.

Feel free to send me pics of your striped cars (dan.white@futurenet.co.uk), but make sure the pictures are of your own car. I can see a 'bring back the stripes' campaign
