Hmm.. There aren't many different things you can do.. Stripes / Words, that pretty much sums it up..

Only thing I can think of that I actually like on a saff is the touring car style.

Personally, I think if you just bufty it, it'll look loads nicer than some random stripes.

I think to be different why don't you see if you can get someone to make you up some Vauxhall Nurburgring special edition type stickers for you.... ie... the silver squares pattern.... that'd be different.... and cos your car's white it would take it.

Will look much better when it's lowered
My old 4x4 with EsCos wheels



I machined 3mm from the mounting face of the front wheels to give a bit more arch clearance as it is very tight even with 215/40/16 tyres and rolled arches.

Looking smart I had Escos alloys VERY breifly on my last Cossie a few years ago - good looking wheels, just a shame the offset is pants for the arches

Is that you next to the car then aswell?
