I am toying with doing a custom color set of Canadian strips for my TR8. The car is Ermine White with Green & Black interior(actaully door panels and all black seats and thats it!), so I thought green & black stripes might look good or even dark green with light green.....so?

while i'm not the bigest fan of stripes on street cars......, for a rally car I really must say it looks good!

Looks quite sharp to me. Very 70's car appropriate.

I like it
Try adding the stripe infront of the front wheel, as thick as the rest of it like if it would mold into the fornt bumper??[:)]

I like it.. I would go easy on the green personally in the way you've got it now.

There is a set of Victory Stripes on Ebay (USA) in green at the moment. Group 44 used black VE stripes and black/green striping on white cars so poss to do a "in the spirit of Group 44" type thing?

Regards Steve

I like it and, to me, it's appropriate for the period.
