Excellent I love the way they emphasize the shape around the roof scoop.

Must have been a real pig to shape them around the scoop. Is the black outline a separate piece of vinyl?

Yep it was a real PITA getting the roof right! Mocked it up in masking tape first then traced that to a cardboard template which I used to cut the vinyl.

The black is 6mm pinstripe “on a roll” from the local car shop. That covers any inaccuracies in the vinyl itself and gives the even straight line across the car even if the underlying vinyl shape as a fraction out.

Excellent …

Tony that�s a hell of a complement coming from the Don of Exige pimpin� himself .

Does look pretty swish though, particularly for a DIY jobbie.

I’m not sure whether to take that as a compliment, or not

Really like the two-tone effect of the blue. Tempted to pshop mine to see what it would look like with one dark and one light silver stripes

Are yours in vinyl or painted?

Seriously considering striping mine now. I nearly did it when I bought the car, but changed my mind. I’ve been trying out ideas in Forza 2.

Tony, I’m liking the vertical Exige logo
