Stripes on a 944
- Thread starter psi
- Start date
You've obviously not met Rick then. He's a big guy and has guns. I think I'd be a little circumspect with my comments. [

However, last Eynsham Rick talked Belinda into driving Baby WUF there. I'm not sure it was the most pleasant of experiences as, I assume because of the stripes, all the chavs wanted to race her. If you are going to have stripes/decals/stickers or any other adornment you do need the grunt to back it up.........but for Le Mans I would say it is obligatory. []

ORIGINAL: morris944s2john
The result (and you wont like this) any car other than US muscle car with stripes looks like a chav wannabe, people will think you have a 4000 w stereo pumping our hideous rap and r and b and you like to do doughnuts in service station car parks and finish every sentence with "innit", "bruv" and "wicked". [
My view may be controversial but I just think the stripes do not suit a 944's shape and send out the wrong image.
I don't agree that Stripes ONLY work on american muscle cars at all (my S2 elise below). I think your right about the 944 glass comments though, but I might just buy the martini kit for a laugh (and lemans).
BUT WILL IT GO ON A RED CAR AND LOOK OK????
I've seen those piccies before, but not seen a car with them on.ORIGINAL: mik_ok
Sorry - they've got full Gulf & Martini kits too....
Have to say, when I finally find myself with the Le Mans weekend free and go, I'll certainly be fitting those to my S2. They look the business!

Behave, Dougie [
] Been trying to work out what the 928S3 decal as supplied on the original car was ?
Was that the Nitrous special ?? [

Stripes you either love or hate. All down to personal preference.

I really like that, particularly as not everyone would even notice it.
I think this is a good reference link for MANY different looks for our cars. Somewhere in the soon to be 100!! pages of 944s will be the combination you've always wondered about. Check it out. In reference to stripes there are some quite nice ones amongst the fuglys.
