   I think it would look ok, are you thinking of doing the arches too? Or you could do the roof in black instead?

   Yeah the stripes are gay, I know, they were there when I bought it, saving to get the car sprayed or completely detailed so they get removed properly with no marks.
   
   Did think of getting the roof done but unsure of how to go about it? And yeah Joe that's what I'm on about, everything under the bumpstrips and the bumpers black and leave the upper half Mango

    Hmm, think there are alot of threads regarding black vinyl roofs and stuff on here, you could have a look on a few of those.

    Joe who's aly? I wanna see what they've done now.

    Well you could have it sprayed, but the vinyl is probably cheaper. Not entirely sure on the price, maybe about £50?..

    I actually think the stripes look alright .. Get a photo shop done and if you like it I'd say try vinyl wrapping it instead of spraying as It's alot cheaper and 100% reverseable

    I wouldn't colour code the bumpstrips, I think they would look good in gloss black.

    I've always been a fan of the 205 GTI stripe and mouldings - nothing says my car is fast so watch out that a thin red line.....
