And by unanimous decision...
I didn't like it myself, the picture without is the "after" picture as I ended up taking it off. I'd seen this on a few cars
and it was a scratch I needed to itch.
Next project: under-car leds.

It made me think of the Seer from Vikings (Google it), definitely a good decision to go without.

I must be slightly odd as I prefer it with the lipstick, however i think lipstick works better without the two stripes or with a single stripe
radiussed in. Seems to work well on ginettas and some cobras plus caterham and Aston Martin have used it. Also think it works better the other way
round, dark car, light lipstick.

I agree, I've seen it on cars and thought I quite like that, hence my attempt. I think you're right about the single stripe working
better. Was also going to do a radius, but my skills with masking tape only go so far.

I also like the lipstick, although only comment i would give is that it would probably look better as a gloss finish to match the stripes.

For me less is more so I prefer it without.
Going one step further I'm really not keen on under car lighting either, but each to their own!

Have you tried pearl pink?
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a

Without for me. I also think it would look better without the stripes, and the engine scoop should be matching green.
These cars are too small to have fussy paintwork. Like motorbikes, the best looking ones are are all one colour.

I liked it too and would agree about the gloss!
