Body Stripes

[JohnGwilt]

I have recently had a body restoration and respray.
However the body shop has not reapplied the stripes.

After some discussion with local members the consensus seemed to be that stripes/coachlines were not always factory fitted to Stags.
Is there a standard ex factory stripe pattern which all Stags should have?

I attach a photo of my stripes as they were prior to the respray.
Is this a standard pattern?

Mk1 Stags had no stripes. Mk2 Stags had stripes as per your photo.

The stripes on that photo look to be wrongly positioned.

tells you exactly where the factory fitted stripes go.

You're quite correct - they should go horizontally

Thanks for the responses - I like to make sure I'm sticking with original specs

I think that the stripes look great on the car, It seems a bit bland without them. Remember that the thin stripe is at the top, and goes over the rear wheel well....

It's your choice, but perhaps to help you below are 3 pics :-
a) My car when it came back from a respray and minus any stripes,
b) My car with it's gold & red stripes,
c) Neighbours Stag with original black stripes.
