Viper stripes? car graphics???

[piooly]

I really want to get a bit of extra something for the car. I use a company through work that can produce stripes, or any graphics at a silly cheap price. Do it for cash and as a favour. Anyway, just cant decide what would look good and in what colours. Do I get stripes over the middle of off center or do I get something a bit more extreme. If I can draw it on computer, they can cut it out, so pretty much anything goes. As those of you that know me, it would be going on my sport 160 series 1. Any suggestions??

How about some orange flames up the sides?

naah, that'll clash with your roof.

Risky business adding graphics they can look amazing or completely w*nk.

I'm sure you'll get a whole lot of mixed opinions and crazy suggestions, but I think stripes are probably the safest bet, and easiest to get right with all the contours...

Your elise is lovely so don't spoil it!

Minidiva,
You have the least subtle car in the whole world! You would use graphics to tone it down

Piooly, every time this question comes up, I suggest this. I would love to see this on an a liz.

Minidiva... I think black flames would look good on your car.
I too like the idea of 2 different coloured stripes.

I would have to agree, i have an Aubergine 111s S2 and have a pair of silver viper stripes to fit on it in the spring. However, having seen this stripe scheme on an Orange Exige at Bell & Colvill (it was a motorsport racing Exige first shown at a motor show a Year or two ago. I think it would look fanastic. So just gotta get myself a yellow stipe now.
I'll post pics around April/May D4V KC

it did cross my mind!! Is anyone skilled enough to do a mock-up in photoshop??

I think I'd be the laughing stock of the Bolocs if I did that (If I'm not already!). I'm sure I'd be admired for my bravery though....

Nope - very cool. Go on, do it!

I like the look of the silver/white and the yellow stripe but how would that look on an S1 with a red roof? and what do you do when you get to the spoiler? Do you go under it or stop at it and over it the spoiler? And would a red stripe look better seem as mine has the red interior?? so many alternatives...

Gooby, did you do them yourself?
