Post by: Bad-vw-boy on July 28, 2011, 01:55:58 pm: So I take it the general thought is Porsche - yes , lancia - yes and golf - no , fair enough just was looking at possible vinyl options as I can't afford a respray and thought this might be a good happy medium

Post by: Hedge on July 28, 2011, 01:58:51 pm: What did look good was Cocopops's Gulf liveried Mk5. It was a Silver car to start with but the Gulf colours worked really well with it.

Do a search for the Superchips Rolling Road Day. :happy2:

Post by: Frenzy on July 28, 2011, 02:10:36 pm: Basically if your car is white & looks sporty AND you are into that sort of stuff then i don't see how the martini racing stripes can fail. I've seen worse cosmetic mods on a golf.

Not for me though but i'd love to see pictures if you do.

Like the Martini style. Looks fantastic on white and silver.
Unfortunately I have a black GTI. I should think of 'JSP'.

Post by: baldwined30 on July 29, 2011, 10:41:45 am: Sorry if this offends but stickers are crap, they do nothing apart from collect polish! The only place thay look good is on a racing car of any kind as the logo being displayed have paid for it to be there!
Title: Re: Martini racing stripes
Post by: daboy3000 on July 29, 2011, 11:21:58 am: I'm not a fan of them, but not everyone feels the same way. It was a bit of a childish comment though, sorry if that offends!!
Title: Re: Martini racing stripes
Post by: HARWOODANDY on August 05, 2011, 12:44:17 am: They just look wrong on a current day golf - very 80's along with with bubble perms and suit jackets with the sleeves rolled up.....
IMO of course :signLOL:

Love the look of that. :happy2:
Title: Re: Martini racing stripes
Post by: Bernhard30 on August 12, 2011, 11:48:45 pm: That white 'Martinied' Mk2 is just fantastic in my view.

Makes me want to find my old Mk2, which was white, it never looked like that one though..

The Martini colours do look good on white cars, yes more normally on Lancia rally cars, but the VW thing looks pretty smart too in my book.

After all McRae's WRC Focus from from '99 onwards was Martini livery too wasn't it.
He gave them some publicity in 2001 with it barrel rolling along on the RAC, shaken and stirred all in one go.

Post by: Tamiyoman on October 18, 2011, 05:57:38 pm: Dont forget Alfa 155 Touring Car was Martini too
Title: Re: Martini racing stripes
Post by: tony_danza on October 18, 2011, 06:15:34 pm: Mine was Martini'd up for a laugh for Inters, just little accents of it here and there. Cost pennies and easily removed once the novelty wore off.

I'd speak to a member called Very Cherry, if he's not too busy doing his superb work for charity, he may help.

Win.
