Makefish · 07-01-2008, 21:18

Found this pic on a Swiss forum

dougie vrs · 07-01-2008, 21:20

always liked the stripes,don't know if i'd be brave enough to do it though.

devonutopia · 07-01-2008, 21:29

Notice he's gone for the slight "V" look to his.

Yours are dead straight aren't they, Steve?

Makefish · 07-01-2008, 21:31

I would'nt say 'dead straight' as I fitted 'em!

, but yeah mine are parallel

dougie vrs · 07-01-2008, 21:52

makefish..got a pic of yours then.?

Tom_vRS · 07-01-2008, 21:59

Does look bloody awesome Steve.

devonutopia · 07-01-2008, 22:10

Oooo, what a vast expanse of concrete.

Captain Scarlet · 07-01-2008, 23:10

I must say I like viper stripes myself. As long it's done right, like the above photo shows. Black with silver....Very nice.

devonutopia · 07-01-2008, 23:16

Wonder if black ON silver would look OK?

westyRS · 07-01-2008, 23:42

Not put mine down the centre.
On the roof ive broken the stripe's and ive got
====OCTAVIA VRS====
With the VRS as a logo.

Harry_vRS · 08-01-2008, 00:06

How about something a bit different if you really want to stand out

devonutopia · 08-01-2008, 00:14

I think that looks ace love it really suits

Makefish · 08-01-2008, 08:11

I love it in orange but it's like the yellow, I would'nt/could'nt buy one!!

Basil · 08-01-2008, 08:23

Looks really ace mate - and you say you did it yourself - nice one!
Pity the Fabia is pretty small compared to the Octy- don't think it would look as nice on it.
Seem to remember a post from Mil that said that they do custom stick-on stripes in the Emirates. May be moving there soon - will have to look into it......

Cheers

If you're thinking about trying it then don't bother with custom kits imho, I bought what is essentially a roll of silver tape from ebay for less than a tenner and cut to the lengths I wanted and fitted it myself. It's a lot easier than you might think, the flat areas such as the roof and bonnet are very straightforward, the trickiest bit was the boot but I reckon that the Fabia would be just as easy! Would love to see one done, go on Bas be the first

radders · 08-01-2008, 10:26

Normally I don't lke the stripes on anything other then the Viper, but that looks really good Makefish.

And the orange one looks ace as well, but would definately be a plod magnet.

Tom_vRS · 08-01-2008, 10:31

Go on Harry, get it sprayed!!! You know it makes sense!!!

dougie vrs · 08-01-2008, 13:12

makefish,that's really nice,might be persuaded to go for it,need to have white stripes on the red though,should look oklike the orange one too,wouldn't miss it in the dark though.

I am a very sad individual but the term "Viper Stripes" makes me wince and also causes a faery to die.

How about "Octy Stripes" from now on?

Shifty · 08-01-2008, 15:15

How about Cobra Stripes............Thats what they first appeared on - not the Viper, although Carrol Shelby was involved in the Viper's development, the stripes did not originate on the Viper. Sorry - just gets on my tits that.

Anyway, they look great
