Can someone who can use photoshop put some stripes on my car to see what it looks like please? In either silver or white (not sure which colour would look best?) or if anyone else thinks another colour would look good then they can have a go, I'm open to suggestions

Theres 3 photos here, just do whichever is easiest! I've just left the links there so everyone doesn't need to wait for the photos to download

Photo 1 top

Photo 2 front

Photo 3 back

Thanks

No, they were a jokey birthday present which were left in for about a day before I got pissed off with them getting in the way hehe

Thanks for the photoshops te51cle, although I can't help thinking it looks a bit...well shit with them on paperbag Can I ask how you do it to get them to follow the body lines? I'd like to experiment with different widths etc

Is this more along the lines of what you are looking for (bit crap but it only took me 3 minutes)

A bit of layering then just increase the lightness. If I was going to get more involved, I would layer the stripe, decrease opacity and then use the tranform tools to follow the body lines, but this was just a quickie.

...as to looks, and this is just my opinion. Stripes should be reserved for Dodge Vipers, Ford GTs and Shelby Mustangs and any older muscle cars that featured them as an option. They are just a "boy racer" add on to other cars IMHO.

No need to say sorry I know stripes attract a lot of attention - I'm learning to drive in a red Fiesta with white ST stripes so its not exactly subtle. I just kind of want to make my car stand out a little bit from other cars, but I don't want to make it looks chavvy or too boy racer (I'll leave my foot to the floor acceleration in 2nd gear to that ).

Thanks for the help anyway, back to the drawing board...thumbup

Slightly bigger alloys and tyres would do that nicely...

Yeh, but my insurance bill already looks like a phone number and I think it new alloys would push it over £2k yikes

Yellow looks good yes A bit crap with the thin stripes as above, but I think wider stripes might look good. Ernest, and chance you could do me a quick 'shop in yellow? I tried but...well...it didnt quite work...paperbag

Actually, the lines are not closed - so it's a parking free for all.
