Side stripe kit

[polsta]

Have you bought the wrong kit Polsta?

just checked, yes ordered 7 grey/black, god knows why i wrote that down after that previous thread il ring them up in the morning and get it changed

[mcbonio]

Oooooooo! I like, can we get some pictures of e30's with stripes. I've very tempted to go down this route.!

[ajay]

Ill need a new one too, once i get the bodywork done!

[stu328is]

My stripes

[Nick45]

Mine - silver/ silver - which for Carmine red is not the right set according to the Wiki. I do like 'em though.

[j2b]

Thought about this on mine , being malachite with a gold stripe

[polsta]

no more fancy box for these to go in, picked them up today

on the plus side its a big roll of it enough to do the car about 2 or 3 times by the look of it

but £40 is a fooking joke tbh, byt hey ho, still a genuine detail

Its the same stuff you get on Ebay isnt it?!

[polsta]

i dont know ? its 3m made in germany "pressure sensitive tape, ruban adhesit scotch" on the inside of the roll

had a look at the page on their computer system, it is all in bmw proper colors, diamond scwartz,weinrot etc etc, and has both stripes in one on the roll, a 3mm and a 2 mm, ready to put on , can you get that on ebay ??? (i dont know), but still £40 for the privelege is a lot

[sunnyr83]

What colour did you get then? How much did it cost then?

[Jim320i]

Im unsure if it is, just seems bloody steep!

I quite fancy some battle stripes now, might cover up some of the rot

How wide are the stripes again

[Jim320i]

I'm hoping a good few inch Maybe a foot?

[kieran325]

Maybe 3ft

[Kedge]

There's some really cool none OEM stripes out there as well, I quite like these although maybe a bit over the top;

You need Viper stripes down the side to hide all that

[Jim320i]

Viper stripes! Thats the word I was trying to think of... Off to Ebay

[jonny323i]

There is this type too on an e21 and an e30







These are features in the haynes manual if you look carefully on a dark coloured e30

[Kedge]

Fergs 323i has those stripes.

very steep tbh, i was a bit hungover and got a big box of bits with all sorts of bags and boxes, didnt check the lot, and forgot the bonnet foam too , so i have to check through everything else is there and go back monday for the foam, not sure if to take it back or not

£40 for a roll

a 3mm and a 2mml together on the roll to apply like that, as opposed to buying 2 rolls on ebay and trying to get them right, may be a nightmare ?

the "guide" recomended silver cars have a 3mml black stripe and 2ml silver

but i got a 3mml dark grey with a 2mml black, i think it may look quite good, as opposed to a thicker black line

they said....i could not return them as it came from germany and goods have to be £100 or more to send back

so i said- ok then so if i order another 3 rolls, they come from germany and i take 1 roll, you can have this roll back and send 3 rolls back... he went...well yeah

They look great. A bit like a toned down Alpina effect

[pony]

I thought these M stripes were a couple of hundred pounds from BMW Dealer ?

[pony]

I would like to do the M stripes on my tech1 in the future
All the other stripes look gay and pointless

[gaszman]

these are mine

[polsta]

cheers dave

, heres the ones i got i cut a tiny piece off, its grey/black

not sure if to go with it or send back, looks to be the same just a darket color than the silver, may stand out a tad more and look quite good ?

[polsta]

So what's the thoughts on the grey/black ?

[jonny323i]

Get them fitted

[Cloggy Saint]

Get them fitted

After only 3 pages of discussion??? Silly to rush it ...

[pony]

Better to put the M stripes

[gaszman]

would they be allowed on a m tech instead of a m3 car ..... waiting for the floodgates to open

[sunnyr83]

Would never have tbought there would be such a fan base for the stripes

[jonny323i]

I've always liked stripes

[polsta]

any views on it then guys what it would look like with the grey/black stripe there as opposed to silver, what sort of good/bad difference the having a darker shade stripe as opposed to the lighter silver in gaszmans pics there, not really sure what to do

[jonny323i]

Stick that little strip on the car and lets see
