I added a q to someone's post some time ago and got no response so I thought I would go direct.

Had a work mate ask me if the stripes on cobras are deliberately curved at the front or just laid straight.

The reason was that he knew of a fellow that specified slightly curved stripes over the bonnet to better match the curvy/bulbous symmetry of our cars.

Is this normal of just a personal quirk?

Evidently the curve variation was pretty small but the reason was something to do with the asthetics of straight lines on a curvy object. Sounds like a bit of nonesense to me but I would believe my mate saying that it was requested.

Last I heard, painter had cloth ears and had laid straight edge stripes and what for was on between he and owner.

I will let my mate know the outcome of any comments here. And of course I will specify the correct stripes when the time comes 2, 3 .....? years down the track.


Cheers
