    In honor of this thread, I just went on ebay and got an 8" vinyl Martini decal which will go on the hood of the e30 rallycrosser. Most likely crooked.

    And it will look damn good there.

    8 inches? What is it, a decal for ants? It needs to be at least 3 times bigger than that.

    "We thought there was no car do awful that it couldn't be rescued by a Martini stripe paint job. We were wrong."

    It does at least have a supercharged LSx in it.

    Am I the only one that read it in the Clarkson voice?

    This is for the "budget" rallycrosser. $5 is the budget for stickers!

    It just made me think of Zoolander.

    Is the budget $5 for all the stickers or $5 each?

    I had been wondering why the H3 had the stripe down the middle instead of along the fenders like every other Martini & Rossi paint scheme I'd seen - guess he was trying to copy that Lada.

    Porsche used to run one down the middle. It's the easy way out - you don't have to deal with complex shapes. So it's the popular one to copy
