Looks awesome! :lol:

So stripes down the middle is the way we're going, rather than offset to one side? Cool. Just realised (I'm a bit special) that as I have a convertible, I'm clearly going to have enough leftover to do both bootlids... :)

Just been to the post office depot to collect mine.
The pink stripes should show up ok against the black I think! :D

I'm still more worried about getting them off though as my car was only painted a few weeks ago! :?

I know they'll be ok and that people cover Ferraris and Lamborghinis etc. with these for Gumball and the like, but I'm just having visions of my lacquer coming off with them! :cry:

I had my Hartge stripes fitted by a professional. He laid the stripes and then cut them, BUT he had a very steady hand :eek:

I have just got someone to open my parcel. White strips and a number 20 which was what I thought. Ziggy offer withdrawn :wink: Only joking fella, put what you want in there. By the way that meeting point I suggested is after the way out of southampton so its ideal for meeting up. The next place to meet on the m3 is Fleet which is MILES away :)

Edit: Kedge as cotty said, I think you must be going past clacket, but I have been known to be wrong before.

Just had a quick look on multimap, i'll be joing the M25 at J22 and coming off at J2 onto the A2 going round the M25 clockwise so i'll have to meet you somewhere else i think.

Whoops Kedge, i was wrong it seems. Guess we'll meet you at the meeting point at dover instead then.

haha. It is a real weapon. Currently got a faulty inlet air temp. sensor and a knackered exhaust but it is feckin quick. The thing only weights 900kg. Me and my mate bodged it together earlier this year. Will be on spax and toyo proxies before leman, total weapon. Shell is hanging though.

You coming up tomorrow jon or is it a bit far?

Looks like a good turd for some chav baiting :)

I also spy a diamond black e30 on hartges in the reflection, the only thing that would get me back in an e30 and out of the s4.

Han lives on the Eastleigh side of So'ton, so I'll be straight onto the m3 rather than the m27...

Not sure if I should have gone for white rather than silver stripes on red... :?

Now on the 18:01 return ferry for a little less rushing on the way back, & my 2nd passenger's added to the ferry too... I have my doubts that they'll both end up coming, but it's no effort to take people off the booking. May have a spare passenger who'd prefer the luxury of your touring to the back seat of a cab (with the roof down) Cotty! :)

Guy - any rush to let you know if there'll be an extra/different person in my car?

As long as it ain't raining, my stickers should get fitted tonight... 8)

Coupled to the fact I can't get to my stickers I also have a job interview on the 23rd involving some driving... I don't think they'd be to impressed with some dodge viper stickers down the length of the car!

Ziggy we'll sort something out on the m3 then I know the eastleigh turnoff and could potentially meet you in the leisure centre there. Near some council offices i think.
