Stripes For Your Car

[craggle]

Just wondering if anyone has seen these on eBay...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171230750039

I rather like them and they kind of remind me of the stripes on some Fiat 500's. Think design 1 in black on my silver car would look quite snazzy.

Some of those are very appealing.

Stripes - Found this image a couple of years ago.

I think I've seen that car or one very similar to it. Caught it on my Blackvue car camera too. Here it is.

Wasn't in Scotland though, Near Horsham, West Sussex.

Yes, I have seen those stripes on eBay. They very much remind me of the old 1275GT stripes for the Mini. I would be tempted but for the position of my rubbing strips.

They look good, and cheap for what they are too. I could see Mr. T charging about £150 for those. Well spotted Craig.

Hate to disapoint you lads but I know from my early days that the "go faster stripes" do not work

[craggle]

Just been playing with a photo of my car in MS Paint.

Any good?

Craig.

[Raistlin]

Looks good

I also bought those stripes from the same supplier on eBay (black model 38 on my light grey paint).

I installed them easily and so far I am extremely happy.

The car looks much better !

[craggle]

I have bought a set of the ones I did the artists impression of above. Looking forward to the summer when I can clean the car properly and get them applied.

Have you got a photo you can post Christophe? Be good to see them. :)

Craig.

OK Craig, but wait for a week: the car is no longer close to my home.

Actually it's a funny story; If you have 2 minutes... :-)

Those strips have been installed on my first IQ.

One week later I had to lend my IQ to my mother-in-law.

And she became so enthusiastic about my car that she forced me to sell it !

That's what I did to keep her happy (important for a mother-in-law ! ), and I bought a second IQ (black) for me...

However my wife did not like the new color...

So to make my wife happy (important too !), I bought huge floral stickers...

I still did not find enough courage to stick them... :-)

it will be fun, I'll post the photos !

[craggle]

Look forward to seeing the pictures. Love the flowers too. :)

Have you seen the graphics available from Toyota? I quite like some of them. There used to be a PDF document out there showing the different designs but I can't find it now. Best I can find....

hi I have put chrome tape on my rear lights sorry not a good photo

[Xophe]

Thank you, Craig.

Some of the stickers are nice.

But... Not sure we can find them on the market ?

[craggle]

No, I believe the iQ custom graphics are only available to order on new cars. Toyota are presumably not supplying them as extras.

After a lot of searching by my guy's at my local dealership and them having to get on to Toyota direct, i have the listing, part numbers and cost of each of the Decals in the picture.

Does anyone want the information?

David

[Raistlin]

Publish and be damned...

[tarquin]

here is a screen sump. It also includes other stuff but all the Decals are there and as the coded "R" retail they are available, at a price. If you want one and can't see it very well, just identify it and i will type up the original

David

P.S actually it came as a 246k file and i can't read it on here PM Me and i will email it to you

[Xophe]

Thanks David,

that is really interesting.

Good hint !

[tarquin]

David
