Just out of curiosity - has anyone had their GTI pinstriped?

I'm looking to get my '07 UG striped with a basic line or two down the side.

Any ideas?

I had never seen any pinstriping on a GTI before, so I looked around for you.

There is very few images online of any done.

Here's what I found:

pretty obvious:

not striping, but absolutely awesome paint:

Just pinstriped my car today...

may not be permanent cause i didn't do it that great. i might re-do it to make sure it's straight.

Not bad! If you want to line it up right user painters tape...

Mine had Pinstriping from the dealer. They ordered it from another state...i always thought it was supposed to be like that. I've got a UG with silver stripes. they almost look like metalic flake. Ill see if I can't get some pics up later.

Nice, Krypton....totally different look of your hood

 

[kryptonkid07]

yeah. i wanted a subtle change and i cant really afford to spend money on a CF hood or a paint job or a vinyl job for it either..

it was 2.99 for 40 feet of black pinstripe. so i figured I could justify that.

bump. opinions.

Thumbs up. I like the contrast.

i'll work on getting pics tomarow, i have a candy white with small black and red lines running the lenghth, i breaks up the taller part of the hatch and looks good

are those just two long strips of black vinyl?

Yup. I just got it from Auto Zone... it was like 3 bucks.

i like it! i was thinking about continuing the "mouth" red stripe up my hood. but then i went plaid, and i think it would be too "busy" now.

also, how did you keep the line straight while laying it down? any tricks?

I did my wheels. It's pretty difficult to get a good circle. Definitely not perfect, I think it looks awesome though...if I don't say so myself.

Honestly, not too sure how I feel about the lug covers.

 

[DasBohan]

Yeah im with prpl on this one. Maybe just reg lugs?
