Kevin (Mr T) Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 When the Westy gets wrapped the week after next, she's going to have a stripe detail running front to back. I can't decide whether to go with a doubles stripe or a wider single one with a thin stripe either side. If anyone fancies posting a pic of their stripes, with dimensions if possible, I would be very appreciative. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, looks smart. Is that a standard size sticky number plate? That's something else I need to sort, as Westy hasn't had a front plate since I bought her!

Quinten Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 No, it's about 70% scaled. Strictly wink, wink, nudge, nudge at the MOT test, but no problem (yet) with the long arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin (Mr T) Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 Where are you getting it done Kevin, or are you doing it yourself?I've gone well beyond my own abilities doing what I've done so far!Joyce Designs in Chelmsford are doing it. 3M approved and I've seen some of there work, so no concerns giving the Westy to them. The only thing that can possibly compromise the finish is the condition of the GRP, as she is, after all, a 28 year old kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strictly wink, wink, nudge, nudge at the MOT test, but no problem (yet) with the long arm I bought mine from a "Classic and Kit Car Dealer".They provided me with a brand spanking new MOT and it had no front plate at all!That's how I've been driving it for three months and it has made me nervouse a couple of times.....

Kevin (Mr T) Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 The stripes on your avatar look good (because they're a bit like mine )Indeed, but it looked a bit old and quaint in the cream and blue, so I'm going the other way colour and stripe wise, to make it more "mine".I'm sure it won't be to everyone's taste and some will even think I'm mad! But hey ho, each to his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SootySport Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I like the stripe design that incorporates the nose cone, Martins is an excellent example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin (Mr T) Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 This is a stripe That's interesting, because I mocked up a double stripe like this about two hours ago and I think that's the way I'm heading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
