How did the Ace meet go?
Anyone want to make a list of mobile numbers? Would make sense incase one of us gets lost / breaks down - would also mean I don't have to take quite so many spares if I'm confident someone else has some too!
Stickers going on this weekend...
Yours look amusing to say the least Tim!

Ziggy that looks spot on, i may have to be a copy cay there but put them down the other side to pretend to have some originality!
I was thinking of having the stripes follow the bonnet lines then straighten out on the roof and boot.

I'm tempted to do them diagonal, I think even with my long barge there will be enough. Its 5 metres after all.
But the traditional down the middle is always going to be a favourite and i might not look like an idiot.

Do it! We'll all look stupid in isolation, but a bit of variation's clearly the way forwardJon_Bmw wrote:I'm tempted to do them diagonal, I think even with my long barge there will be enough. Its 5 metres after all.

Needn't even need more length than usual - it'll look best if you have it coming up the side of the wing, so just move the start point further back until you've got enough!

See the viper pictures thread ziggy. I have yet to do the roof, bumpers and white rabbit stickers. I ran out of light.

Bet you had tons left over. I had enough to redo one of my bonnet stipes that I cocked up. It was the first I laid and looked rank.Jon_Bmw wrote:I'm tempted to do them diagonal, I think even with my long barge there will be enough. Its 5 metres after all..

I didn't actually have that much left over, less than a metre. I wasted a little bit getting stuff wrong. I looked at doing it diagonal for about 5 seconds and promptly thought, screw that. Far to hard, i'd put money on someone having done it though.

Haven't done mine yet!
Going to have a go this weekend, I was thinking of doing something other than the 'viper' way, but with the little 'extra' I've got ready it wouldn't work as well!
You'll see what I mean!

A mate of mine who works in a bodyshop fitted my stickers today!
After he towed me home when my crankshaft pulley fell off!
Thankfully Andy335Touring is helping me out with a nut and washer which went missing!
Should have car running again tuesday evening.
My mate Dan did a very nice job with the stickers, if you can call pink viper stripes a nice job!
He made it look easy but I'm glad I didn't try it!

Thanks guys!
It looks right gay but it's a bit of a laugh!
Had some funny looks and comments from the neighbours!
My passenger for the trip isn't looking forward to seeing it!
I want to drive it around to see reactions but I can't. Yet!
