Original Pin Stripe..

Recommended Posts

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. :)

And here's some on my XS:

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

:blush: 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
