someone to put my viper stripes on in dorset?

[zed sump]

...afraid they're not to go on a lotus,... but a viper instead! thinking if an elise owner has had a good job done with their vinyl stripes on their compound curves, a viper shouldn't be too much trouble... can anyone let me know if they've had good stripy experience with a company local to bournemouth?
thanks

Yes, meeting up with some of the SELOC lot in Wickham Square at 8am

With regard to the stripes, you can get some off ebay for a tenner and do it yourself

advised that cheapy ones are very brittle....
i have 3m gerber 220 stripes and need to get round the warping that occurs when stretched over compound curves... been told by different sources that maintaining a correct ambient temperature during application is very useful and the whole strip may need to be heated, not just the area that folds over the curve...

Back to the subject of Stripes....

I had mine done on my Exige by Insignia Signs. They did a really good job and I think the guy took a lot of pride in his work which is good to see!

I can confirm that Minidiva's strips did indeed look very good

thanks!.. had them on my list and have just returned from a visit to their Witney industrial estate HQ... if yours is the lotus they were on about ('an elise') then they said there wasn't any way of keeping the stripes a constant distance apart from the front of the car to the back - yours has a gap range of 25mm? i know viper stripes (pre cut with parallel edges) can be achieved with an un-noticeable variation atleast on the front 1/2 of the car.... just starting to think some extra cuts maybe required . . .

Mine were on a Chrome Orange Exige:





They managed to keep them a good even distance apart. Over the back lip they had to cut it to keep the stripes from deviating off at an angle.

I had so many people try and so many BAD failures, in the end I got Specialised to paint them on. Brilliant job and far better finish than plastic.
