The racing stripe guide
Vinyl racing stripes for your car
Racing stripes are the fastest way to give any car a sporty, one-off look without a respray. Designing them online means no measuring and no guesswork: you choose the vehicle, the style and the colours, and see the finished result before you order.
Every kit is cut to order in the UK from outdoor-grade vinyl and sized to your vehicle.
Side stripes and sill stripes
Side stripes are the quickest way to make a car look lower, longer and faster. Ours run along the lower doors between the wheel arches, supplied as a mirrored pair so both sides match. Choose a clean single line, twin pinstripes, a split stripe with a fade, speed arrows or a stripe with a panel for your own text, and the designer sizes it to the length of your body type.
Bonnet, roof and boot stripes
For the classic muscle car and GT look, go over the top: twin rally stripes, a Le Mans tri-stripe, a single centre stripe, offset stripes or a chequered band. Bonnet stripes run from the front edge over the roof to the boot, cut in sections at the panel gaps so they are easy to line up and fit.
Racing stripes for SUVs and pickups
Bigger vehicles carry stripes brilliantly. The designer includes SUVs and double-cab pickups, with side stripes sized to their longer doors and bonnet stripes that stop short of the load bed. Add a model badge or a name in the stripe panel. Kitting out more than one vehicle? Message us for matching sets.
Colours, finishes and your own text
Every style can be cut in any colour from our vinyl range, and many styles take a second colour for the accents. Choose gloss or matt, and check the contrast against your paint colour in the preview. Add text up to 20 characters, such as your car’s model, a name or a number, in one of 12 fonts.
Easy to fit yourself
Each kit arrives cut, weeded and with transfer tape applied, with spare length to trim and a fitting guide. Clean the panel, tape the stripe in place, peel the backing a section at a time and squeegee it down. Wait 48 hours before washing, then treat it like paint. Quality vinyl can be removed later with gentle heat.

Racing stripe questions
Do I need to measure my car for racing stripes?
No. Choose your body type in the designer and give us the make, model and year. We size the kit to that vehicle and add spare length so you can trim it perfectly on the car.
Will the stripes fit my exact make and model?
The designer covers 7 body types: city cars, hatchbacks, saloons, estates, coupés, SUVs and pickups. The make, model and year you enter go on the job sheet, so the kit is cut for your vehicle. If your car has an unusual shape, message us before ordering and we will check it.
What vinyl do you use and how long does it last?
Outdoor-grade, waterproof and UV-resistant vinyl in gloss or matt, the same material we use for our motorcycle graphics. Looked after, it lasts for years without cracking or fading.
Can I have two colours or add my own text?
Yes. Many styles have parts that can be cut in a second colour, and you can add your own text up to 20 characters, such as a model name, a number or a business name, in a choice of fonts. The price updates as you design.
Can I fit the racing stripes myself?
Yes. Kits arrive with transfer tape applied, spare length to trim and a fitting guide. Clean the panel, hold the stripe in place with masking tape, peel the backing a section at a time and squeegee it down. Side stripes are a job for an afternoon; bonnet and roof stripes are easier with a second pair of hands.
Will vinyl stripes damage my paint?
Not on sound factory paint. The vinyl protects the paint underneath and can be removed later with gentle heat from a hair dryer. Avoid fitting over fresh, resprayed or flaking paint.
Can I wash my car or use a car wash?
Leave it 48 hours after fitting, then wash as normal. Hand washing is kindest; if you use a pressure washer, keep the nozzle away from the stripe edges.
How long does delivery take?
Every kit is cut to order in the UK and usually dispatched within a few working days. UK delivery is free, and tracked worldwide shipping is shown at checkout.
