Cost around £120 and took half a day to fit. I love them, just sets the car apart from others. I would certainly recommend it.

The 2 single stripes on the S2 I felt didn't suit the car as much as they suited the S1 which is why I went for the sports racer stripes. I also chose silver because white would have been too "in your face" against the Cobalt Blue. Just my thoughts

:D
Thanks Mandy I can see a wee trip to Glenrothes coming on soon. I think in your face works on an Exige.
let me know when your coming over.
John car is booked in for 10am Tuesday 10th April - can't wait. :twisted: The photos did it for me thanks guys and Mandy :thumbsup

Are you around then or still off shore :?:

Can't wait to see it Ken. Veeeery tempted to do the same. Was having a close look at Mandy's with the silver stripe at the weekend. I agree with her about it not being as "in your face" as the white. 8)

Yes Neil that all makes sense but sometimes you just need to be "in your face" and that is where I will be after next Tuesday :D

Have never been known for being subtle :oops:

An Ardent Red Exige is not a shy and retiring car to start off with.

Don't you just love having fun :?: <BG>

I did a rather bad photoshop job on my car from which I decided it looked awsome! Then deleted the pic :( Just never got around to doing them though) - it just works with all the other black on the car.

I don't really get the stripes thing. I just think that in most cases it does not suit the car and IMO looks a bit crap.

Don't do it!!! :wink:
