Slight diversion here but has anyone tried using a 'Gulf' colours centre stripe on their P&J?

Maybe I'm getting carried away now.... Next I'll be adding a big number to the bonnet...come to think about it...

Google is your friend...."Porsche 993 Gulf Stripes" and look at the images!





How about white stripes?

How do these magnetic stripes work then (other than being magnetic of course!) - guessing unlike vinyl they sit slightly proud of the bodywork? Or are they surprisingly thin?

Seems a fun way to brighten up a car but surely they can't be that secure...I'd be worried about scratching paint too.

Just spotted Mollys Gulf stripe from a couple of years ago on another forum.
Looks great to me. The orange contrasts the blue beautifully. I might have a winner!

Where did you get those cool stripes from Molly?

I love the Gulf colours also. I bought a caterham that was done in Gulf colours then bought an Ariel Atom and i did it in full Gulf colours. The only Atom in UK in those colours. Cant wait to get my Martini colours sorted for the Spyder

Here is mine. Went for the narrower stripes.

Hi

I got them off ebay, the whole set was less than £100. I think it was Highgate House? Cant remember!

White stripes are American national racing colours (British green: French blue; German silver: Japan white etc), so don't really go on a Brits German car.

I got these on ebay, quality not good but fine for the trip to Le Mans, went down well!

Turbo LE?

[marky911]

Nope. LE is a Turbo SE without the flat nose, so that car would be an SE if anything though I'm guessing not a factory SE, maybe a later mod? Although I see it has the rear 1/4 intakes so maybe factory?

Cool car either way.

I have just started to fit Martini stripes on my Boxster Spyder, doors done, bonnet done but still to do the side stripes. I will post pictures when done

[m33ufo]

Look forward to seeing that. Did you buy a kit or get them made-up yourself?

[KMF]

I had them specialy made but when they are right they will be available as a kit from the company who made them for me. I will post details when they are all fitted and correct
