Nose job

[bobt]

Hi, i'm having the car resprayed and leaving a bare carbon nose band. I have been mulling over the idea of having a bonnet stripe (on the nose cone too) but don't know if it'll look weird with the carbon nose band. Normally when peebs have a band and stripe they are the same colour. Anybody got a carbon band and coloured stripe? Do you think it'll look odd? Would be interested to see a pic if you have this.

 

Cheers

Personally I think a carbon stripe would look a bit odd as it would have to be vinyl and would be proud of the bonnet paint unless you have a carbon bonnet and then why would you want to paint it?

I think a coloured stripe and carbon band will look odd. A black stripe would be OK. The only way I can think of your idea working is to have a carbon band, then a coloured band on the nose that tapers into the longitudinal stripe.

I had that on a previous car - the carbon band and then coloured band and stripe.

 

It looked fine, unless you thought about about it too much..

It was a silver car with purple stripe/band, tho'.

Hi Simon, that's an idea I hadn't thought of. The car will be R500 White so a black band behind the carbon band and then tapered into a black stripe could work.

 

You have mail :-)
