    i think it would be gay, but thats me.

    depends if its a proper job, with proper colours or just bodgy black stripes over whatever colour you have.

    vn's are too rounded to have a hard edge on the car like a stripe.

    my opinion though.

    yeah i can understand why most people think it would look that way. what i have in mind though, sort racing stripes with a bit of a difference. see how it works out, i'll post pics if it's good, which i think it will be

    now racing stripes with a difference sounds good. maybe with like a shadow that would make them stick out more. is this the kind u ar thinking of?

    It's pretty arty, in a good way. Explaining it over the internet will probably make it sound bad, so come back for a look on sunday night

    Maybe stripes down the side of car, complementing its shape and good contrast to colour would look good, coupled with a bodykit to match.
    But not over the roof. My opinion

    Yeah I was originally thinking down the side, since it's already got the black (i guess you'd call it a stripe?) with the thin red stripe in it.

    Now I'm thinking, just one fairly thick stripe down the middle.

    Racing stripes on a VN will look horrible. Should try a nice pinstripe from the front wheel arches to the rear panel. That might look alright.

    Haha, Homer style

    @ Abba Fan, obviously I don't race it, so I guess I'd just call them stripes?

    Didn't? Do you mean 'wouldn't' or do you mean you saw a VN with racing stripes that didn't work out?
