True but it can also make it more of a challenge. I really like the white with the blue stripes down the side and up and over and yours looks really good with the grey wheels just finish's it off but while still at home not doing it as i think its asking for trouble its just my way of thinking after having one car nicked off the drive nothing personel .

agree with babyboom it does seem bit expensive. Found these genuine ford ones on ebay if you have a white or silver st as they are blue but sure if you send him a message he might have some white ones. They say thay are easy to fit i dont fancy doing it though if its anything like window tints that blow around everywhere. Failing that see if your local sign writter will fit them for you. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GENUINE-Ford-FIEST...1QQcmdZViewItem




I got my stripes from this seller on Ebay, have to say he was a really good bloke & they arrived the day after i paid for them proper Ford original too.

My advice would be to get a pro to do them, the OTT ones aint easy to fit & you could very easily balls it up!!!!.

Before & after pics of my new Frozen White ST (sorry about the size)

There are two types of theft, planned and oppotunity. An oppotunity theif will take something becasue it is easy; its parked in poor light, down a quiet road etc. Generally the car doesn't matter but I will agree that the same reason you see and ST with stripes and say "wow, that looks ace" is the same reason an oppotunity theif says "wow, that looks ace.... I'll have it away".

The next type of theft is planned and this doesn't matter if you have stipes or not.... they know the car, have been looking where its parked for ages and are waiting for the right time to make their move. These guys know what they're doing and can spot the ST with or without stripes.

I had my sat nav stolen a while back..... it was hidden in the glove box with no trace of it from the outside.... some bugger must have been watching me ciome home everyday and saw what I was doing and waited for the time my car was parked at the bottom of the road...... assholes!.... but you live and learn

Luckily for me my next Door neighbour has his own graphics company & fitted them for me, the side ones are really easy but the OTT are very tricky.
