    Sunstrip for S2 Coupe

    Been watching far too much motorsport on the TV and decided to look for a suitable sunstrip for the S2. I've found these which are the quattro and gecko next to it but I was also thinking that a much more subtle effort would involve the S2 logo on black black background on the upper passenger side. Anyone got any ideas for this? Or know of a good place to get these made?

    I'm a little loathed to get anything that's going to look utterly crap although I have a feeling that no matter how subtle I go it's going to look ultra-chav Anyway, be interested to hear some opinions on this.

    I did think of a forum style one for the rear but I have to admit it might not look the best as every chav and their pitbull has one of these...

    you could get "Andy" above the drivers side maybe?

    I'd have thought most sign writers would be able to make you something if you have the dimensions mate, its only a bit of sticky vinyl isn't it

      Yeah and "hostage" over the passenger side This is my point, they're a bit naff but if done properly I think it could enhance the race look that I've got in my head.

      If I get one it will be black and it will have white writing if any. I quite like the idea of the gecko and quattro one but I think much else will look a bit rediculous. A reasonable small S2 logo might look nice or a small S2Forum.com in the top passenger corner.

        You edited it! Yeah, it's just getting the graphics clean and things like an S2 or S2Forum logo in the right font, can't find the S2 logo that was created, I think it was Sonic's thread but I can't remember the name and it's too hot to do any more than 1 search

              Cheers for that, not sure how the red will go with a white and black car.

              Well they're only £10 so I'm sure I can make a mistake or 3!

                yeah, a really small logo, same kind of size as the grill badge would look ok i recon.
                But other than that, i'd want to hide it as much as possible

                  If you want one made up either speak to dest about someone he knows called sticker paul - might be able to make them up or extreme in harlow do custom sunstrips as I used them before, easiest way if your creative is go into b&q or do it all and buy a roll of vinyl strip and make your own cost is cheap and i've done it a few times to cars when I was younger, easy to do and your have enough left over for other ideas.

                    Yeah Paul would be able to do one no problem.
                    I think the easiest and cheapest would probably be to make your own at first, then if you like it you can spend abit more and get one with a logo on etc.
                    Can always photoshop it on too for a rough idea of how it would look

                      I used to just clip a piece of cardboard onto the driver's side sunvisor (they are poor and leave a lot of gaps, and I lashed things up to do the required job at the time when it's needed). No need for anything permanent.
