Imho stripes just don't work on the FTO, its too curvy and the straight stripes don't match.

yeah it kinda doesnt, but with the right design and width it could work. I would personally go for the F430 style. The car is 2wice as curvy as the FTO and yet it pulls the stripes off as they are not straight down. 8)

the f430 looks great like that but the front bar helps to, if I could get the front bar like that I would do them strips :twisted:

Hrmm not a huge fan of the stripe idea Aza, no offense though mate. Hey, it's your car, if it looks good to you, go for it. I'm a sucker for the clean look though, as you've probably figured out from my car.

YAY got the stripes today in the mail they are a nice royal blue color and they are going on to a fto with a steel silver color, i was thinking though someone oculd try have one yellow and one red stripe the ralliart colors i found a guy that will do 8m of vinyl two colors 10-15cm wide strips so two 4m strips for 80 bux and if i get a certain number he will do it cheaper hmm ill see how my car turns out first and then we will see if we can get a froup buy or something happening.
