Early Side Stripe Pre-Order gauge. please read.

Post by volvosneverdie » 10 May 2011 05:01 pm

Hello all 300 lovers.

The lovely MCHUDD has provided templates for his OEM early 300 sidestripes to me in the hope that a short production run can be achieved.

Im getting quotes atm and as Volvo owners have deep pockets, short arms and petrol prices to complain about, everything will be done at cost+postage. No proffits, unless you want to tip Mark a drink.

If you have an interest, please reply in this thread. Obviously I dont expect people to commit without being quoted a price, but I want to make sure theres actually a demand before doing any pestering of producers.

Text can be altered to suit your model.

Examples of how theyll look:

Cheers all.

Yay! Even though I don't have an early 343, these would look hot even on a 340 :D

343 or 345 templates? I bet that kicker on the rear 3/4 is a different angle between them

If 5... I'd be interested

I've carefully read and I'm not interested.

However has anyone got the template for the tailgate stripe?

I'm super tempted then, depending on price I'll work out how many of my cars might require them :s

Fantastic. :D

Has anyone got a side view of an existing side stripe, preferably hi-res? I can try and do a photoshop on mine and other peeps cars for colours etc. Mock up how it would look.
