they look tacky... but once fitted they could look okay.

it depends on the state of your car... if its looking tired and in need of a spruce up, it may look like you have obvious tried to spice the car up by sticking stickers onto it.

:daft: Sorry i think they would look a bit naff!! unless you take it on the track or something?? but of course each to their own i like it that everyones Fs and TFs look a bit different............yours would look unique i spose!

 

:daft: Sorry i think they would look a bit naff!!

take the ladies advice!

 

i've seen plenty of f/tf's with stripes or numbers which look fine.i suppose ahving both could look just as good.... but with all modifications, if you want to do it, who cares what other people think :broon:

I hate to be harsh, but that sounds worse than awful. Please don't do it.

 

well you asked.....its a stupid idea

 

I think you are likely to get 'pulled' by the Police.

In the old days of driving (Roadgoing) race cars to the circuits we were required to put a black coss over the race number. Apparently this was a requirement under the 1988 Construction and Use Regulations purtaining to the Road Traffic Act.

 

how come i see loads of bmw mini's with numbers on the side of the cars then?? are they breaking the law?????

I think they look good on some colours but wouldn't be shelling out that much when the're a third of that on ebay

 

I think that numbers on the doors make a car look to boy racerish, unless of course you are competing in a race or rally.
I read somewhere that the Police can form the opinion that you are encouraging people to race you & there is some obscure law that covers it.
As stated by Debs when I was competing in road rallys you had to either remove the numbers or put tape through them when you finished or retired, or the Police would & did pull you...
If you must do it put the white circle or square on the door but forget the numbers??
I used to use white fablon from Woollies!!!!

 

Sorry.........yuk

 

If you want to be a bit different go to a grraphics printers and get some removable reverse window stickers made up for the rear quarters, you can then have what you want on them rather than selecting from a small list and if you do get your collar felt you can just remove them..

Rear quarter windows!? It's an MGF! :bgrin:

 

i quite like the look of stripes but wouldnt be to keen on numbers

ive considered this a few times with mine except mine would be trophy blue with white stripes

 

I'm never a fan f them really but must say I did like that TF.

In response to the OP, I don't think I would.

 

I also think stripes would be ok but not numbers.

 

:bigeyes:

 

Err..... Yes :fishslap:

 

Oh boy,... so much for searching the 25 /zr section.....


I was right in one thing though, It would be more than a bit different!!.....


Anyway being as I have stumbled out of territory, DONT DO IT!!!

Stripes make car look wider & lower, ok if done properly but not just a case of putting random width stripes on.
Side numbers will dominate a smaller car too much, its all people will see!!

The reason you see vw's and the like with numbers is they were produced like that, which gets around the construction / use regs. afaik.

going to find a hole to hide in now..:run!:

 

Heres a pic im sure will not be to everyones taste!

The numbers have now been removed.

 

i like that

 

.... it seemed like a good idea at the time....

Sleep on it...

 

Trash the number idea but stripes do look on some cars.
Some nice examples (esp. dark blue as yours) can be found here Werwulf

I think myself if "you" like it thats all that matters.Personally,i think it will look ok,myself i would prefer the numbers to the stripes as it will look more like a gt racer in the old style rather than a striped up boy racer chav mobile,eg ford fiesta st.Every one has there own tastes that are not necessarily to other peoples so dont be put off by what others say.If you decide afterwards that you dont like it you can always remove them.Post some pics if you do it,its the law.

 

i like that

Thanks appytiser

 

Heres my old F before it had a meeting with a crash barrier.

Go for the Viper Sripes i say. They are easily removed if you change your mind.

My advise is to get as thick/wide as possible, as some of the thinner ones look cheap and a bit, well, naff.

 

the wider the better do look best.

It all depends on the theme you're after. Don't do it on a stylish British roadster, but give it a thought when you've got a more sporty, spartan car.

 

Yeah i've dropped the idea...i'm just gonna polish it till my fingers bleed instead

 

Saw a Red BMW Mini with an 11 on the door this morning.
Have to say it looked a bit naff to my eyes.
