Bonnet stripe

I've recently did some stripe on the bonnet, not sure whether or not it makes the car look cheap. Let me know what you guys think.

RE: Bonnet stripe

I like it very much, why not have it down both sides.

Thank you Mark, it's one sided because I was inspired by the BMW F30 performance package look, like this:

Don't think I can make it more in the middle because there's the letterings, I could try and put another one on the other side if I can make them symmetrical

RE: Bonnet stripe

Perhaps it might look better if it followed the bonnet crease line

I think thats what was bugging me about the stripe as well, the fact that it's not aligned along the crease and flush with the inside edge of the front light.

RE: Bonnet stripe

Agreed. I'm not 100% on it, think it would look better if it were symmetrical and followed the bonnet crease.

RE: Bonnet stripe

I prefer the clean look. IMO, once you start adding decals, stickers, etc, you should have other things done too, like suspension work, wheels, BBK, etc.
