Thornberry Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Anyone any experience with putting or having tyre strips on the wall of their tyres? Was going to put ine single thin strip around each tyre think they they can bring the whole car together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted April 15, 2018 Member Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thanks.Not for me, but then I'd prefer not to have any badges. Or "Caterham" on every instrument. Or a labelled steering wheel or harness. Etc.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornberry Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 Exactly like that ive seen them both on the tyres and on the alloy rim. Im thinking a super thin line if it doesnt look good then I can just take them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Personalisation is fine, but you should ask yourself, has anyone else done it? answer probably not...that should tell you something. Just get in the bloody thing and learn to drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavic82 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 It can look nice and if you fancy it give it ago. There are several sevens that have done this. Both I have seen were on 15” anthracite, one had a red stripe the other lime green. Looked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornberry Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 I was having my doubts. My alloys will be the anthracite 15" and lime green. So I think I will give it ago if it doesnt look good then I can take it off. The only problem Im having is matching the colour of my caterham which will be roulette green and I think I can only get Kawasaki green or lime green in the strip.

rj Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Erhm... Would it make you go faster? Or would it just be adding complexity? (And weight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornberry Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 They protect the rims the ones im now looking at act as a protective skin for the edge of the alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted April 16, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted April 16, 2018 From the point of view of appearance and from my point of view, I can see it working on a rim, I would think a coloured strip on a tyre would look odd. (whitewalls on classic cars is different) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
