A few gems from Lotus...... How about non-matching colours: ![](http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae108/james_hennessey1/car%20stuff/lotus1.jpg) or non-matching coloured thin-big-big-thin: ![](http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae108/james_hennessey1/car%20stuff/lotus2.jpg) Or my personal favourite, asymmetric one fat one thin: ![](http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae108/james_hennessey1/car%20stuff/lotus3.jpg) James

For Renault, it's Gordini -stripes. Where it started(?), R8 Gordini. ![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/84/R8_Gordini_Pegomas-Tanneron_2005.jpg) Now they are coming back (marketing, marketing...). Twingo: ![](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/TNAlhToiUmI/AAAAAAADgF4/6HBYAZ2_msA/s800/Renault-Gordini-01.jpg) Megane: ![](http://www.tekniikanmaailma.fi/s/f/editor/0316%20Renault%20Gordini.jpg)

Or some herbie stripes, always fancied a similarly styled bug when I was a kid, I'm now 34 and have never even sat in a bug. ![](http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r199/bmc076/Herbiepiccie.jpg)

How about big fat 'blackout' stripes with a thin pinstripe around the edge? They were all the go on Australian touring cars and muscle cars of the early 1970s. Holden ![](http://gallery.oldholden.com/d/271447-1/HQ+GTS+Lina+Mint.jpg) Ford ![](http://www.caradvice.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/gtho.JPG)

![](http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n520/colonelsponsz/mcraesierra.jpg) I think I added these Ford Motorsport stripes onto everything I drew as a kid in the late 80's ![](http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n520/colonelsponsz/escortcosworth.jpg) ...and these tiger stripes made their way onto almost every Max Power Halfords special in the 90s?!...

....but Martini stripes really did look great on anything they were applied to. Here, have an S4. ![](http://i1137.photobucket.com/albums/n520/colonelsponsz/lancia-delta-s4.jpg)
