Suggestion

If you are looking for stripes but don’t want them to be totally “in your face” I can highly recommend stripes in a similar shade to the car.

Looked amazing as they seemed to change colour depending on the sunlight.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dont hold back, my GT4 is naked again having removed my wrap and polished. 8 years old, it looks new ! however it is white and I fancy some stripes. what does the great unwashed of pistonheads think of stripes? do Martini sets cry out 'plonker'. i like them but..... Views please dont hold back.....pictures of dogs with stripey cars permitted.....

POST 3Original post

I’ve never seen a road- going Porsche that looks better with stripes or stickers. Personal dislike of mine is the ‘Halfords look’ PORSCHE stickers along the sides - everyone knows it’s a Porsche - the subtle Factory badging is all it needs.

POST 5Original post

Always reminds me of this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqWa1c4sf9Q

POST 7Original post

Not my style personally, but certainly can appreciate it. Go for it…it’s essentially a race livery and you use your car competitively so it’s not out of place. Enjoy.

POST 8Original post

I have no room to talk but ... I think it suits a race car and can be misinterpreted elsewhere ...

POST 9Original post

I’ve posted these before and been flayed for it but I liked them: My old 981GT4. You would never loose it in a car park. [url[url] |https://thumbsnap.com/Jp5PSafp[/url] Bit of an homage to my old 924 Carrera GT. I particularly liked the interior with the yellow cage and belts. Unsurprisingly I took the decals off before I sold it back to the OPC

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Fair enough Chris - but that’s what I do with the car. So I dont feel a fake. And the reason for the wrap going was to deal with battle scars from an off!

POST 17Original post

Stripes are fine, whatever takes your fancy I brightened up GT Silver Spyder. It’s my car not bothered what others may think

POST 18Original post

White Cayman…. Then it’s got to be twin Martini Stripes down the centre line like your pics. Nothing else needed. I followed a white 981 non GT4 white with Martini stripes down the A14 a few months ago. Made me so happy…. Not sure a white only one would have had the same effect.

g7jhp said: What colour are those stripes on silver? Hi, Car was GT Silver. Can remember the exact shade, but they were a satin finish light grey. Looked amazing as they seemed to change colour depending on the sunlight. If you are looking for stripes but don’t want them to be totally “in your face” I can highly recommend stripes in a similar shade to the car. Very subtle but effective.

POST 20Original post

I saw a red car with an orange stripe (or was it an orange car with a red strip (less likely)) and it looked great ...

POST 21Original post

I came across this one, I think it looks good, maybe skip the one going over the roof and rear, maybe even better? but all in all nice I think.

POST 22Original post

Does it really need to shout PORSCHE on both doors and the bonnet ?

POST 23Original post

its 'art' otherwise that would be all black, vs the white in between, thats how I see it :-) all black can be 'to' much.

POST 24Original post

My GT4 came with the stripes. I am not sure I would have been bold enough to add them myself but actually I really liked them

POST 25 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Billy, these are the 'offical' Tequipment stripes....they do look good.

POST 28Original post

I'm a massive fan of the GT4 RS vinyl but can't find anywhere that does it. My car is black and I'd love to have that pattern but in a dark greyish colour (almost smoked out) so it looks different but subtle.

POST 29Original post

Not a GT4 but white with side stripes. Black with green Porsche lettering. I've got a 73 RS style Porsche script across the back hatch in place of the Cayman badging which I really like as well. Less a fan of the big stripe kits but the whole thing is a simple swap. Try something different and it doesn't work, just remove them again.
