Stripes should always come in pairs to make things look symetrical, 1 stripe looks out of balance IMHO... 8) 8) 8)

Most times they're in a pair too. One fat one next to one skinny one.

Do what you like its your car after all..........as long as your happy with the end result :!: It really doesn't matter what others think INMO.
I had a centre stripe that went all the way over the car, was about 150 -200mm wide, contemplating doing it again but will wait and see.
