Black ones maybe with a darker colour, but I think they look better without stripes.

It's up to you, it's your car right?

I think you've made the right choice, it's a Limited Edition they always look better when not messed with, in my opinion.

But stripes are alot easier to remove than a bodykit if you change your mind, or even make paper ones to see what it looks like?

If you were to put stripes on it, you mihgt be better off pulling one of the colours from the pinstripes and using that for the stripes - might tie in and look better :S Only thought Iv had :D

I may use both ideas and make paper ones in the pin stripe colours to see what it looks like :-

In my opinion I'd leave the bonnet stripes alone, Although in the colour of one of the pinstripes could work!

I personally think it looks smart how it is!

Could you not photoshop some on to see what it looks like?

ive got a 30 too and wouldnt have white ones, however perhaps some black ones with a gold stripe down each side would work?
