#1 Stripes finally straight

Well it really does seem " you get what you pay for "
I had a company put some stripes on my E back in the summer

And as you can see they were put on a bit ( a lot) crooked with a little messaging either way the guy eventually agreed it was beyond him and he didn't have the the time to rectify , so gave me back my £ 350.00
( yes that was cheap / to cheap)
Then on recommendation I used a company in Bromley called Creative FX , a much more proffesional approach , I was in the design office for at least an hour with them going through colours and materials and then they had the car for 3 days and the result

And 900 quid later yes very very pleased with the result would recommend

That looks better. You don't mind spending the money if you are happy with the work and attitude of the supplier, do you?

Did the price include removing the wonky stripes too?
