Default bonnet vents and stripes

Hi all
I finally took the plunge and fitted the Jaguar mesh bonnet grills today.
At the same time I have had bonnet stripes put on, controversial I know!

However, I like them and that is all that matters to me.

Those stripes are subtle, classy and unique. Nicely done! I like that they don't jump out and scream "LOOK AT ME!" from a block away.

It works on your (technically lack of) colour car, on my white car they would IMO look obscene and scream from blocks away.

I wish it didn't as would have some fitted as they aren't technically stripes but curves that work well with the car...unless my fold eyes are playing tricks?

Tell us where from, price & UR, diy or fitted please?

They look great! The subtle color mix works beautifully. Listen to MaryUK above and comply... or else!

MarkyUK these were custom made and fitted by Steve at MCSigns in Crewe, you are right they are curves technically.

May well consider a carbon fibre finish when I get around to hydro dipping my bits

Marky, think about flat white for your car.

Marky, how old are you to put race stripes on a Jaguar, that's so boyish!

Fiddy Fie, as I tell my 16yr old daughter I am 'FOLD' use your imagination

Ain't lowering my car, but then at least can grin that I had the last production year, plus a supercharger
