Call me pedantic but arent the side stripes different to someone else's? They dont seem to have the "ST" symbol towards the back of the car? I'm starting to think mine should have stripes *lol* Lovely car RjB

Yer thats well spotted, the other variation is on a someones Red where they dont go to the end but curve off just before.

Weird that there is a few variations.

The ST logo is on the side stripes, just from the angle of the photo it is difficult to see, but it is definitely there.

If I am correct I guess on the drivers side the ST logo is at the front? Corret me if I'm wrong please.

Yeah - the ST logo is at the front on the other side. Weird or what! I guess we'll all be unique if nothing else!

You just cannot capture the colour with a photo! I am pleased with the stripes, but think it looks the part either way.

I had read somewhere previously that the stripes were different on each side of the car and that this was correct. It seems they are supposed to be logo at the front on the drivers side (right hand drive) and logo at the back on the passenger side.

You are right about the colour too. It's very hard to do it justice in a photo, the colour is better when you see it for real. These are the best examples of mine that I have.....

I believe from reading that guys posts from the other ST site that he got the stripes specially made by a different company. There not ford stripes!

No your quite right freestyle, they are always at opposite ends, its the way they have been made to be by ford. I think I would still prefer the logo to be at the back on both sides though...

Its worth getting a good dealer as if there is any problems you want to be safe in the knowledge you can take it back and get it done without having to have a massive row with dealership.
