    Do you know that all MK1's had three pinstripes all the way round them, we are not talking about rust stripes

    1a's also had pin stripes they were just different, I did the stripes on Marks car

    They are the same width as 1b stripes but two colour and there are just two. Having said all that the car in question is a 1b so should have three pin stripes

    I think not having the pinstripes put back on after a respray, which this looks like it has, looks mingmong. It just looks unfinished compared to other immaculate mk1s about.

    I have no pinstripes as I don't like them personally, even though I can make them any way I want

    is it english or irish or is it on private plates ????? cos it's wearing different front/rear plates........

    does look tidy though

    i think that as it's been resprayed at some point then the stripes should be left off to signify that it's had a paintjob so not totally standard bit like paul painting the roof of the mrx black to signify an engine change - just my thoughts..........

    he explains in the text that the private plate has been removed and replaced with the original, and the fact it is resprayed from red to silver

    I am new to all this, so has this one been resprayed based on pinstripe-ness ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1610514219...=p5197.c0.m619

    The mud flats MR2 lettering looked done by hand, so I guess so?
