Vinyl Stripes on Exige/Elise?

[screem]

Decided to stick some viper stripes on the exige.

Has anyone done this themselves or does anyone know any pro's that can do this in the North West?

I bought some off ebay for about a tenner but they are a nightmare to fit and after attempting to self fit am not happy with them and have ran out with just the boot lid left.

Pics please

No don't is what I'd say.

Never do "Viper" stripes, unless it's on a Viper.

[screem]

Too late,

Ive already started.

I dont think they look too bad??

Heres a before and after:

[mrbrules]

The stripes look great! really transforms the car.
Smart number plate.

I remember a Silver S1 Exige with some stripes up the middle several years ago at Knockhill, looked great.

I belive it belongs to one Renmure of Pistonheads..?

Cheers Mrbrules,
I think the Exige is one of the few cars that can get away with "Viper" stripes along with the AC Cobra and a few select others without looking at all "Chav".

My thoughts entirely.

I mean if it was a mondeo then i dont think id have bothered.


Now where did i put that sheet of carbon Fibre??????

Bah, why not get some spinners and neons whilst you're at it?

Seriously, looks OK but not my cup of tea. I'll see it at the next Norlog meet no doubt.

Any pics of the roof/engine cover? I will need to redo my stripes next week after a new rear clam and any new ideas are welcome.

My cousin was changing an engine somewhere in Bath for one of the directors of the company he works for. He was telling me his son's girlfriend had a brand new Fiesta and he had fitted 'stripes' for her. The 'stripes' were made using silver gaffer tape!

Still not finished the back but you can see the masking tape.

Only problem is that i now officially have a L T S

Bit different to mine in that mine follow the shape of the scoop along it's whole length. Looks nice, did you find the vinyl stretched enough to keep a uniform with down the length of the roof or did you use two pieces?

[screem]

I used 2 pieces hence why i ran out.

I ordered another 4mtr length today for £5 inc p & p should be here tomo.

I really wanted to keep a uniform stripe right the way down the car when viewing from square on at the front and if youve ever tried this you will know that this is near impossible using 1 parallel piece of vinyl due to the curves especially around the roof scoop and down the rear lid.

Problem is that close up you can see the overlaps so i would like to get this done by a pro at some stage.

I figured that for £10 - £15 and few hours of an otherwise eventless bank hol was worth it.

[Royton Blue]

Looking good!

[stringthing]

Looks fantastic, and seems as though you've got them on straight too - always a bonus !

As others have said, nice plate

[Bob1984]

Another bunch, some very subtle differences, i was just messing about with some things...
