mk1rob Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 Hi, Ive taken the stripes off my car ready for some bodywork to get sorted out. Its left me with a problem. I cant decide weather to leave them off, put the blue RS stipes back on, or go Mexico stripes in a different colour? What do you reckon? Before: After: I also experimented as i was takin them off. Heres a bit of a 'different' idea:
mk1rob Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Posted October 7, 2008 BTW, the cage is getting resprayed so could be any colour to match the stripes, car or whatever
Wessie Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 its your car m8, your money being spent on it so do what you think looks good personally i like it with no decals, but its your choice
surfingturnip Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 quite like the thin outer stripes idea myself
2.8i Cossie Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 like the full stripes but its your motor at the end of the day
oldbus Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 like the full stripes but its your motor at the end of the day x2
Deano1351 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 I like it with the stripes but to be honest its a top motor and whatever you do it will look the nuts!! Toss a coin
garyv6100e Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 Presuming your car is a "proper RS2K" then full strips for me white and blue spot on
zetecmk2 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 white and the black bonnet! (satin tho)
Copey Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 i love the way it looks without, so clean!!
mk1rob Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Posted October 7, 2008 garyv6100e: Its a replica mate. I was thinkin of puttin 1100 badges on as thats what it started life as, but it has RS wings so i dont know? I was thinkin the Mexico look as they didnt make the RS2k until '73 (mines '71) zetecmk2: I like the black bonnet idea but think it only suits bubbled arched mk1s. Cheers for the opinions and ideas tho!
ford fever Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 LOOKS WELL COOL WITHOUT ANY STRIPS,LEAVE IT NAKED
mk1super Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 It looks almost south london style with the stripes off, however mate its your car, iam however loving the idea of the 1100 badges could you imagine some Punto or Saxo drivers face as you pull away Stripes are a double edge sword yeah they look great, but mk1s look great when there clean and simple ( Much like myself! ) I took off my pinstripes as they were peeling but kinda miss them. Have you thought about blue/black pinstripes silver look good too
Guest chriscapriman Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 i prefer it without cos it looks cleaner , but its ur name on the v5
MightySprocket Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 full stripes otherwise it looks like mine
DAZZA Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 If you didnt have cibies, id say no stripes. So better with them.
Mick The Cabbie Posted October 8, 2008 Report Posted October 8, 2008 This's the very dilema I've been having for ages over my replica which is almost identical to yours, even down to the blue cage.. After seeing pics of it with and without, I think I'd think probably go for plain and simple white and lose the cibies. Slammed over those lovely alloys, it'll look the dogs danglies. Having said that, it does look rather good with stripes & cibies..
