Go Faster Stripes On Cars That Really Shouldn't

A car caught my eye in the rear view mirror today. A Nissan city car with go faster stripes!

Now I'm personally not a fan of go faster stripes on cars other than the likes of a Shelby mustang but I can understand the appeal for a genuinely sporty car, but something like a pixo? Really?

It might be interesting to see any other cars you find which really don't suit these sort of accessories (Cue every V*, LOL)

    More saying about the ones which go over the bonnet and sometimes over the roof, but on cars that really do not warrant it.

    I just went looking at the Spark as I used to have a Matiz (which the Spark replaced) and the Aveo looks quite cool from the front, went on to configure... £1,618 for 17 inch alloy wheel upgrade?! £96 for 'Premium Floor Mats'?! My God...

    The Spark did feature on Transformers though? :P
