Toying with the idea of painting my rear strut brace white, anyone handy with photoshop can show me what a white brace would look like? My car is the dark blue if you can show that too!
Will be easier to do if... you take a picture of your engine bay. Then someone can modify that quicker. s;-) ;-) s;-)
Here you go.

That'll do :-) :-) :-)
Do you want one a little further back too, or is it just this view you are interested in?
Just this one for now. Next priority is a front brace.
I'll see what I can sort out for you tonight.
Cheers

See my other thread in the electrical section! Hateful thing is gone.
Cheers for that Stu, what do people think, I quite like body colour now looking at it.
No worries :-) :-) :-)
Can do any other colour you fancy too!! s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
I know what you were going for with white. I think I like the body coloured one most though. :-) :-) :-)
Yep, I just need to know what the actual colour code is so I can buy a rattle can. I was also thinking of putting a white stripe full length of the car s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
The colours are all listed in the reference section. 4th down on the home page I think.
White stripe down the middle or offset or 1 wide + 1 thin? Deffo do with sticker though. :-) :-) :-)
Stu start charging! And liking the blue!
The blue is 8M6 btw
Quote from: "tomaky"Stu start charging
For me that wouldn't be in-keeping with the ethos of the club. All I ask is that people who want stuff are patient. As I can't always get it done the same day. Other than that it's all good. :-) :-) :-)
Pulling your chain s:) :) s:) wish you could photoshop a exhaust on me car like that think on art attack haha

Down the middle, any idea where could supply stickers?
I am sure there are plenty of vinyl sticker suppliers about. Personally I don't have any recommendations.
Might have a contact who can supply, do we think a single stripe or twin viper stripes?
I'd go twin...

That's what we want!

I know you have to use your imagination a bit...
Imagine in blue... with white... and just one side... with 1 thick and 1 thin...
Stu, that's cheating. The options were single or twin! s;) ;) s;)
I am a fan of the mixed width versions though...

Im a little on the fence with this one, in one way it could look good but in another it might not... I think that because the car is so standard it might look like somebody has just gone to halfords and stuck some vinyl on his car if u get me? Some cars it suits but the fact ur putting a stripe over the car and not being able to do the roof might make it look a bit tacky? Kind of like when u see a car with a big exhaust and a bodykit yet its on standard wheels and hasnt been lowered? U see what I mean? As its only vinyl I say go for it and see what it looks like but I think a hardtop with the stripe over would be loads nicer.
I think a hardtop would help finish the theme.
Happy to do a photoshop if someone supply's a nice high res pic of a bluey.
Then I can show a few options.
I agree, with a hard top I think it could work, although the soft top does pose a slight challenge.
On the subject of stripes though a google search revealed this, looks good...

But also this, not so good (needs a photoshop lesson from you Stu)...

However I did also find this which I quite like...

I quite fancy a single stripe that runs from behind the badge.
Do I spot an e39 on the drive there too? Love mine like

Yep, 530 Sport Touring, one of the last on a 2004 plate.
stripes on your 2 will make it look like it belongs on shed of the day or barry boys s:crazyeyes: :crazyeyes: s:crazyeyes: s:crazyeyes: :crazyeyes: s:crazyeyes:

That what you were thinking? Wider or thinner?
That's great, if you have time can you show it with slightly narrower twin stripes, but I think these would be harder to do with the engine cover vents.
I can cut the one in half on those pictures if you want?
3 even size blocks of colour? i.e. white, blue, white
or narrower blue stripe?
Input welcome

Have to say I agree just not my cup of tea think stripes detract from the lines of the car IMO
