Stripes work on some cars. Brock transformed the Shelby Mustang with blue stripes on white cars.

Some look good on the Elige. The Evora. But if ever there was a Lotus that cried "don't effing put stripes on me" it is the Emira.

I agree. The Emira has such an organic flowing design that putting hard straight lines on it doesn't fit its character.

From a decal perspective, the only thing that will work is shaped non-linear decals like on the Emira GT4.

See @dgrace 's post above for a rebuttal of your argument. 😆

Oh I dunno, the original Ford GT40 was pretty swoopy but also looked great with stripes! To each their own. :p

They work on the 488 pista which has a similar shape

I’m not planning on it, but anyone have any view on stripes they think would look good on the Seneca blue? Would be curious to see what others had in mind? Personally I think the other colours are better suited (red, yellow), but I’d like to be proven wrong.
