Original Pin Stripe..

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

Hi Guys

 

Been wanting to do this for a while as I've always been a fan. I'm looking at putting some pinstripes on my cherry red GTI to give it a bit more of a retro look. Does anyone have any pictures please as I know there were several different styles and I want to see what looks best.

 

Cheers, Dave.

The only ones I've seen are the ones that follow the bends on the wing door and around the quarter windows. Had them in red on my old Miami.

My Dad's had these on from new:

quite hard to see but mine when I got it came with red and black stripes, wish I left them on now

 

been looking at buying some pin stripes of ebay and re-doing them

And here's some on my XS:

 

 

Difficult to make out, but the stripe itself is about 4mm black, 4mm space and 2mm red

I imagine mr goodhand 'just made them up one afternoon' He's rather good like that.

I did, but too be honest, they're not perfect. They're cut by hand from just a piece of coloured vinyl. Therefore, the depth of the stripe varies in places.

 

Halfords used to do a range of different pinstripes, so you may have better luck going through their catalogue.

 

EDIT: This'd probably be better (if they did the correct colour) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/250276018942
