    If he means Le-Mans stripes:
    
    
    
    Which look epic on these ^^ and other classic exotica, but look terrible on anything modern, then no.
    
    If he means Ford side stripes:
    
    
    
    (Coincidentally that Mustang also has Le-Mans stripes )
    
    
    Then if you've got other white accents then it might look ok if it's not too thick.

    If you want stripes I suggest something a little more subtle round the side skirts of the car. But two massive white stripes from front to back? No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no! Only classic mini's deserve stripes

    Depends if you mean big thick viper stripes or thin viper stripes which your gonna place to one side like on Renault Twingos then go for it - I had some on my little 106 which I liked but everyone has there own opinions I suppose

    you all say dont do it and its chavvy but imo if the kids wants to do it, let him. Its your car mate, if you like the idea and execute it properly then its down to you. On a clean posi blue saxo i think it would look alright in my eyes.

    dodge viper gts pulls it off quite nicely
