Toyota side strip Not sure if this is original?

[Tiny]

saw this on PH and think this is an aftermarket addition as its the 3 circles rather than the eagle on the side stripes

dont think its original but i like the look.

the three circles "circles of perfection" logo is later than the MK1 so not not original

dont think its original but i like the look.

Me too, with some smaller more tasteful (but still red) wheels and a Toyota logo from the right decade that'd look really good.

Yep gotta agree with all the above, its not original, but i love it , Jinxy

polished lip/dish with red minilites

Styling cues from one of my favourite cars, Porsche GT3 RS.

Love the stripe - but follow it all the way round!!!!!! Thats what I say.

Hate the wheels though - god they're awful.

Stripe retro cool - but why use a '90's toyota emblem? total wrong era - then again it could be a naff flying chicken decal

I like the red stripe - but it HAS to go all the way around in my book! It looks half finished just across the doors..........

[kaiowas]

I think it'd look a bit much going all the way around, front bumper especially would look naff with a thick red stripe across it. Maybe continue the thin stripe on the top all the way, but taper the thicker one down to a point on the section in front of the front wheel.

just needs to be faded into the front bumper to look "finshed off"

have to agree about the wheels though

Absolutely agree with Kevin here. Great example using the GT3rs, just would be perfect for the mk1 pictured.

Would actually prefer a GT3RS though

I have genuinely had it in the back of my mind for ages now to do that type of stripe on a white MK1 only in blue with blue wheels
it just seems to suit a MK1s lines
