Martini Racing stripes and decals

[HowardB]

Am thinking of having a bit of fun and putting martini stripes on my white 944 - does anyone know where I could get good quality decals from?
There are lots on ebay/amazon etc, but i'm guessing the quality is pretty variable.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Take a look at Geoff Ives' 924...I think it was done by Porsche Shop, but not sure? He posted a picture of it in the thread about wheel sizes...it has larger diameter wheels too.

That looks amazing - I can't see anything on their website: did you contact them for a one-off order?

I've thought about Martini stripes or a full wrap in Riviera Blue. I'd personally want the stripes that met at the back across the rear panel.

There's a few examples about some more prominent than others....

Or maybe if you Smoke Fags ?

Never been a fan of the Martini livery and the Rothmans one is a bit hard on the eyes for me. However that Marlboro one looks sublime!

Each to their own!!

I don't mind my car looking like a bottle of booze but I draw a line at a fag packet.

It's all the same alcohol , Nicotine, caffeine etc..(Gets into the bloodstream and creates an effect!)

Car's get under your skin too but that's healthy!

i have to admit,,,a 924 almost brand new in white with martini stripes is the first front engined porsche i fell in love with....
must have been very early 1980s,,,,,
it looked stunning back then in the flesh,,,,,,jasonp

I never liked the Skinny 924 for many years....always preferred the Wider arch "look" of the 944 instead,
only after owning (5) 944's and (1)968 Coupe did I then pick up a cheap (£500!) 924S 2.5 in 2010 which was
a non runner, then another good one that wanted nothing in 2012 was I converted.

It was the manual steering and lighter agile chassis and the torquey 2.5 that I liked, then I started to consider modifying one!
I'd no idea or intention at the time but the modifications and project would escalate and stretch over 3.5 years. (Never again!)


Here's a Wide bodied 924 (White one) for you all ready for Decals of your choice ,

A 924 Carerra GTS club Sport & the Le Mans 924 GTP behind it.
Turbocharged 2 litre 4 cylinder (275 hp in Clubsport spec) Weight (1,120 kg)

Starting to look good. Took ages to get the side mouldings off and adhesive/rubbery foam off, but it's door decals next!
