Mine got taken off years ago... and are stored safely in the garage. I didn't like the fact that the stripes had black on them, rather than grey so didn't really match anything else on the car, but thats just my personal view. If your not sure, leave them on as they damage easily and you never know whats underneath (paint fade etc). :)

My car was only painted end of march lol. I was like you for a few years with them off because I preferred it but I seen more and more recently with th stripes on and thought they looked right but seeing yours has made me think otherwise again :-? :-?
Either way your car looks very nice mate with or without them

Thanks :)

The other thing I had considered was to have them painted the same colour as the car, and then refitted... :)

Got a few updated pictures now the side stripes have been re-fitted as the previous owner had taken them off years ago and stored them in a box, and I had never got round to fitting them. The RS badges have now been removed as well from above the side repeaters.

Cheers, engine bay should be smart I'd hope, its had a small fortune spent on it...

They're good as not only do they look good, but they aid cooling! 8)

Also got my full Performance Ford feature coming up (being shot in October) so looking forward to that. :)

I paid 4k for mine... Considering the engine is all rebuilt and the spec and cost of the engine work (£3k) it was a cheap car lol.
