I've never added a stripe or sticker to any of my cars. Never fancied the idea. This morning it dawned on me that I might actually like a stripe of sorts along the centre of my midnight blue 993. No Martini scrpit or anything like that just one fairly narrow simple red/blue band. The draker blue would likely merge with my existing midnight bodycolour however the lighter blue band might actually look quite nice alongside the red one. I guess if it looks naff or chavvy I could simply remove it again and put it down to a pre mid life crises.

Has anyone done anything similar that worked? If so where did you get your mits on the strips?

Cheers.

Clinchy on 911UK is the boy to ask. I think he's got the exact thing on his 993.
Thanks Kimbo

Thanks for the response chaps.
Clinchy that is what Im on about. Looks fantastic and is exactly what I was thinking of.
Did you apply the decals yourself?
Also are they easy to remove without damaging the paint?
cool

WOW all of these images are very cool...
The more I see 'em the more I like 'em!
Perhaps I should design my own decals and have them printed like Guitarplayer did.

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!cloud9

Where did you get those cool stripes from Molly?shout
