Jazzbass 1 Report post Posted August 30, 2006 LOL - I've just made a post in the appearance section about Alpina stripes and their cost. My last E36 325i Montreal Blue, had a set of gold pinstripes and it really lifted the car. Can you buy them as kits? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spargo Report post Posted August 30, 2006 Pinstripes ususally mean the car has had a touch up with the paint gun at some point, and they've used the pinstripe as a blending point. Some of the coolest pinstripes were on E30's - the german flag and the motorsport stripescome to mind. It depends on the car, mine is silver, and would look like ass with pinstripes i think.
