Maybe its just me, but i think both cars look a little tacky with the "go faster" roof / bonnet stripes etc, smacks of a "boy racer" image - maybe its just Ford's way of gaining some street cred with the "yoofs":rolleyes:

Perhaps its time for Skoda to go for some street cred, especially since the Top Gear "uncool" episode

Been done. Skoda allready had Viper stripes made up and trialed for the Fabia Sport when it first come about (if anyone remembers the silver one I had at brunters) I think they decided against it.

the stripes are going back to the days of the ford gt40, they are ford stripes not viper stripes :P

They are actually shelby stripes iirc, was a feature of any shelby tuned car. Hence seeing them on Cobras, Mustangs and Vipers etc.

mmmmm, now that looks spanking

not too convinced on its cornering ability though

them stripes are different though :haha:

looks good on a white fiesta or focus with blue stripes imho!!!

Am a big fan of stripes myself

I really like the stripes on the ST's. Not sure I'd have them on my car, but certainly make it look the part

Absolutely right

Re the Shelby:

Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr MMMMMmmmmm

Re the pics of the Octy with a stripe:

The top one looks like a Taxi with the black car and a stripe up the bonnet.

carroll shelby was only continuing what briggs cunningham started.

but yeah, i actually kinda like them in blue on a white st

Can still get them on Fabia Sport, the demo car at Caffyns Ashford has them on
