haaa yes the ride will look much nice lowered, but i can't do that over here with the number of high speed bumps and steep slopes i encounter everyday...

new rims will be nice for sure! 18" ? or 19"

Cool need to knock your friend on the head and pinch his lowered springs

ricleo, do you have any more pictures of that silver i30? the GT strip looks interesting.

[ricleo]

this?

Yeah that's the one, looks like its got a black roof so the stripe seems to be just the bonnet is it?

I was only thinking yesterday that a GT stripe might spruce up the look for my little toy as GT stripes seem to be making a comeback, I know it's the wrong car but something like in the picture below running up the middle,front to back., black stripes on silver would look pretty cool I think

You could wrap your stripe on.

If you could get the one replicated with that N logo on it Craig that would be neat. Looks better than the one on  the Golf in my opinion. But black on silver is the go. A stripe on my red one wouldn't look half as good.

For a red car  you need white stripes

[Dazzler]

Oh yeah. That looks ok, don't like the stepped look though. But I see your point. Ironically my  21 y/o daughter reckons my little red hatch is too sporty for a 61 y/o already.  (without any stripes)

I wouldn’t get the N included, I think that might look a bit wannabe  but there are several different stripe styles that I think could look really smart, can get them done down the road at Tint a Car where I had my tinting done.
Just need to make my mind up which line/stripe configuration would look best I quite like the one on the golf though there are many variations, I think preferably in the middle might look nicer too.

White on red looks good

Just for some inspiration Bumpkin's 1st i30 had a white stripe from the factory I think. Scroll down this thread.

Bumpkins i30

That looks alright too, I don’t know why so many I’ve seen don’t do the lower bumper lip like on Bumpkin’s one there, they didn’t even finish off the top edge of the rear bumper where it meets the hatch

a small update to the rear of my hatch

I thought the Porsche cursive wasn't legible, that one is even harder to read.

[ricleo]

Ahhh. It says turbo. I thought it was quite legible   

Let's more ppl guess what this car is

Looks good

Works well with a black car. 

Did you use a spray or wrap?

I used a gloss black wrap. Less mess n prep and reversible easily the other option would be to use plastidip but I prefer the gloss finish

Sounds like the better option (and the one I thought you had probably gone with)

I must be either niave or dumb ( perhaps both.  ), but I don't quite get what this is.
