UrQs had a factory-installed pinstripe running from the tops of the bumpers
along the sides of the car. The rings were also factory-installed.

If you do the scraping with a hair dryer (the only use for mine, it's in

Early Coupes had a double pinstripe running just below the side glass and
'screened' decals below the waistline rubbing strip, FYI. A little fussy,
but I quite like it actually- it's an eighties thing.
