Racing Stripes / Decals.

Are they acceptable ?

If not .... Why not ?
If so .... What format ? ie. White car, Blue stripes etc.

Reason I ask, is that on holiday I played a bit of Top Gear, Top trumps with my son and there was a Black Mustang in the pack with Red stripes. I've now got a bit of a Black and Red thing going on in my head and they aren't too expensive.

This one .....

Like Dennis the Menace! lol Or black and xpower green.... got some small xpower decals to begin with

Dont think there are any rules just comes down to personal taste and how its been done, Decals on otherwise standard car looks pants but the right decals on the right car can really add to it, Tricky to say untill its been done!!

If my car was xpower grey it'd be plastered in MG green stickers tbh

But alas...its not....IMO the stickers don't suit any other colour

Hmm .... Wasn't really thinking about the MG - X-power stuff.

I've got a hanckering for twin red stripes front to back centred, but on the lower parts of the sides, thicker stripes at the bottom, fading out/narrowing as they rise up the car ....

Ideally, my car would be white, and I'd be doing it in Black, retaining the black wheels and spoiler ....

After buying a cheap car ... my ideas are going to cost me if, and it's a huge if, I do anything.

Black and red may look really good.
