Can you get hold of the stainless side stripes and the rear badges?
Why would some people take them off apart from lost all or part of them?

Have you tried ringing Brian Postle?
He carries most parts.

I was thinking about this earlier, over the last few years I have noticed a number of Alpines with the stripes now on them and a few Tigers now omitting the stripes for what I suppose is a cleaner look (?) It's all personal taste I know but I do like the Tiger stripes, gives a very clean 'crisp' look

It's a grass is greener thing.
I saw a MK1 once without stripes and I thought it looked great.

Tigers don't have them, unless your cars are confusing you?

I'm sure there was actually a Tiger with the MK2 wheel arch trims and the stripes together that left the factory. Then owner of that car chucked the wheel arch trims, as he preferred the stripes
why not! It is a personal thing....
.....could have been one of the AF cars, not sure.

oh yes ,only alpines and algers.
i think tigers need the side stripe otherwise they look just like an alpine.

Or a Tiger your trying to turn into an Alpine.
I prefer with stripes makes the car look lower and more sporty IMO.
Mine hasnt got any. Well its not mine till next week, if all goes well.
