Default Nice Stipes
I've always thought stripes like these look good and appropriate on a C3. A future plan that I have is to add a wide black stipe on my yellow C3 from the hood buldge over the roof and around the tail. One little accent would be some painted real flames (just a few) over the engine. Lots of mechanical work to consider first.

I like stripes. If I ever repaint my car, it would be kind of opposite Olivier's. Light or white base with dark blue stripes. Might have to change my handle to TransAmC3.....kinda like those late 60's, early 70's Firebirds.

GM was doing it long before ford

I love the look of BenUK's and Grandsport's cars, but I am biased.

Default Strips
I really liked this car when I saw it at a show last year. Not sure about the white wrap upfront, but everything else was really nice.

Your car was one of the ones that inspired me to choose my colours, so thanks for that! I've had a photo of your car saved on my computer for over a year...

Hey, they look cool. You've got the proportions of the strip widths just right. Favourite pic is this one:

Yes,

i know, Stingrays and Stripes equals blasphemie, but the iconic GULF design celebrated 50 years in 2018.
For this years last rally i tried my best to pay a little tribute to one of the most unique racing designs ever.
(for this events the corvette gets PPF anyway, and it´s temporary)





Judging the public reaction it was very well received and i like it so much i think i will keep it a little longer.
