Looking for someone who knows where I could still get these made up..........for a scoob?

Sounds silly I know but when DC can Camo a car and make it look that good, maybe the stripes might look ok - rally look hass been done to death anyway!

get a photoshop done, like the sound of it tho!!!!!

 

Something different anyway.................got a few places sorting out designs and prices as we speak.

Anyone got any links to cossies with it done?

Back in the day they were refered to as "Zebra" Stripes!

 

AAAAAAH! - explains why searches weren't working

DOH!

 

loved this look back in the day if you do it mate get some pics posted pal and just going back a bit where did they origanate from on the fords

 

They dont look right. If its your car, no disrespect meant, but the striping on the old RS models was more pointed at the ends, if i remember rightly. Strangely, though there are no images on google, that I can find.

 

That Sierra has a very poor imitation of them IMHO.
There was a family in my home town had one when they were new and it looked much better than that.

 

The old Turbosystems Cossies - I remember being at the RSOC national day at Donington in 1992 and every other car had tiger stripes.
Turbosystems Rallye Storm Escort Cosworth

 

Always known as tiger stripes here and yes those ones pictured look gash.

 

Think this is where they originated! Not the best pic but you get the idea!

 

Keep the pictures coming - the more persuasion the better!

Cannot ever resist posting a ling to the BM art cars gallery -Yes i know it is not Ford Tiger stripes but a petrolhedonistic (i may have invented a new word) experience anyway
BMW Art Cars & Photography Gallery - 'BMW Art Cars' - Supercars.net

 

no not mine, it looks like a right POS to me. just trying to help the guy out with pics like he requested.

 

I think they are probably very "colour sensitive".........white car with blue stripes looks good, but if your Scoob is a different colour I'm not sure how well it would work.

I was a fan of them on Cossies back in the day though...........particularly the skimpy swimming cossies worn by svelte and athletic young ladies

I actually prefer the "chequered flag" graphics as per Frayz' car.........subtle.

 

here's another picture with the official tiger stripes on the Sapphire Cosworth. I've got a corgi model of the same car and the stripes are the same:

 

That's nothing like the originals, take a look at the pic in scoobmeister's post which although is not very clear is much more like it.

 

Watch this video to see what they actually looked like:

Nothing like the poor imitations posted here.

 

Great Video, saw it a few weeks ago on Men & Motors, Found a few more of the alternative as used on the works cars, Can't remember any works cars ever running with the ones shown in the video, possibly due to lack of space for sponsors logo's etc? But they didn't last too long as later cars ran in Repsol Colours. Very popular with Ford Tuners in the early 90's hence the copy's. Not too sure they would work on a modern day Subaru, A bit like when Ford put Martini logo's on the Focus just didn't look as good as they did on Lancia's

 

Slightly off topic but what about this from back in the day..man I loved this car at the time

 

Is that not the one Max Power built and gave away.

 

 

Yup, Project RS Kicker That's the only pic of it that I can find...

 

I think you're confusing the Escort Cosworth and the Sierra Cosworth. The Escort Cosworth rally car had different stripes to those on the Sierra (as shown in the pictures).

 

Nah, don't think the rally Sierras ever had tiger stripes, some had straight, varying width stripes on the rear quarters like on some RS200s. The WRC 3 doors were I think Q8 sponsored on a dark blue or black and the sapphires were mobil or autoglass sponsored, white with a blue and red rim.

The sierras with tiger stripes came about after the launch of the escort wrc with stripes as in the video.

(But I am ready to be corrected )

 

here is a few of turbosystems from back in the 90's
