Stripes? Your Thoughts?

Fled74 · 11-10-2006, 11:55 PM

I was toying with Photoshop last night, just to get an idea of what stripes would look good on my Fez. I came up with these:

The typical ST-style side stripes

Different style (like Wolf Styling)

And finally:

Of course there's always the usual ST-style bonnet, roof and side stripes.

I also wanted to see what it would look like if I painted the teflon strip on the bottom edge of the front bar. Too "ST-wannabe"?

Your thoughts?

I like the off centre stripe

Ohh and loose the blue wiper things

your car is a nice looking little thing but i think adding the stripes cheapens it...thats imo but it is your car and if you like then you should do what you want with it..cheers

I love what you've done with the front, looks hot.

I think the off center stripes look cool, something I was thinking about too.

Good to see more nice white Fiesta's popping up.

Second one, wolf like striping....."possibly" with the off centre stripes as in the 3rd pic, can't quite come to a conclusion on that off centre striping.....not sure, might look Ok once on the car......yea, not sure?

I would go the First Pic but loose the pinstripping or third pic with out side stripes. Too much vinyl can be over powering.

GO THE THIRD mate. Awesum, i loike the wolf Style look.

TBH, and Brutally honest, The decepticon head should go, as with the pinstripe and blue wipers. I reckon the off centre Stripes with nothing on the side of the car would look fantastic. Good job.

Different, and it works. But in the end, totally up to you.

whippet_zetec · 12-10-2006, 12:55 PM

def the 3rd example for me...

xurbanx · 12-10-2006, 09:14 PM

I like the singular stripe across the roof (pic3) without the side strips. That and tidying up the side of the car would be tops.

I say that because walking back from the doctors, I caught a glimpse side view of the Fiesta and it just looked too good from the side for a side stripe to be there.

I like the offset over the bonnet look, but it would need to lose the pin stripe and autobot logo or else it becomes too fussy. Otherwise some simple ST or Wolf style side stripes would work well with the current set up. Then you don't have any conflicting lines.

Fled74 · 13-10-2006, 02:02 PM

Thanks for all the feedback. I should have mentioned that if I get other stripes of any kind the little pinstripes will definitely go. As for the blue wipers and Autobot emblems - sorry, but I like 'em.

Just yesterday, some bloke on a bike told me the stickers look awesome.

Mitch, I'm definitely considering the front lip kit. How much did yours set you back? The Ford dealer near me don't have it in stock but can order it, which will cost around $470 not including painting and fitting.

nat_daly · 13-10-2006, 02:23 PM

i reckon the third looks awesome..

crispymk2 · 13-10-2006, 02:37 PM

Third for me too... off centre looks sweet, dont actually mind the painted lip either

mitch_lx · 14-10-2006, 12:39 AM

Flederschwein, i think ford have quoted you very very generously.

My brothers mate gets me all my stuff for trade and mine was roughly that price (little bit cheaper) and it cost me 200 bucks for it to be coated in red and fitted at my local trusted paint place.

Definately toughens the whole cars look.

When i got the lip, i got him to order me the fog lights (total ********* to fit, OMG the switch was a #%#$%#$^$%^$%^#$%^#$%&^$%^#$%)

All i can say is, front lip... do it.

Pieoter · 14-10-2006, 04:06 PM

Id get the whole kit at once. With lip looks good from front but ghay from side.

I must say the Ford kit is the only good looking kit for the fiesta. All the others a too OMG uleh

mitch_lx · 14-10-2006, 11:37 PM

Pie, i dont really agree with you there.

I do agree that the ford lip kit is the only one that suits the car, but i dont think you have to have the whole kit to get a nice result.

As some of you may have seen my Fiesta has the front lip Only and it looks fantastic from all angles. It really toughens it up without having to go the whole kit. I could have got the whole thing, but JUST the front lip ;) looks tough
