Hey does anyone know if all berlina turbos come out with pinstripes from the factory? If so what colour were they? how wide were the pin stripes?

I have a brand new roll of GM striping I bought off Ebay a while back, the colours are red and silver, i'll measure the thickness of the striping for you tonight if you like. Its the same as the striping on some Camiras. Not sure exactly what coloured cars came with it factory...Most if not all 2-tone Berlinas I would have thought.

My '87 Berlina has the red pinstripe right the way around, on the bumper upper moulds and door (upper) moulds. Pretty sure most Berlinas are the same, but I could be wrong. Series 1/2, anyone?

If you have left over pinstripe would you sell it? Is the red pinstripe on the top and the silver under it or? Any pictures guys? Wyndup if you could measure the pin stripes that would be great mate. Looks like we have the same project going on Wyndup Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Any pinstripe guy can fit the stripes for you and probably in any colour. Would not cost over $100 for a complete stripe job done by a pro. Cheaper if you shop around. Ask your local Panel Shop who stripes there cars as generally a guy drives around does all that work. Or buy the stripe your self and do it, It's not rocket science.

That berlina looks awesome man! I've personally never liked the pinstriping though. It was the first thing I wanted to get rid of on mine. That and the big badge on the garnish. Unless you're doing a full stock resto I think they ugly up the car a little. You normally have pretty good taste though Daz....WHY? Jokes.. That said, I'd love to see a MINT example with all that stuff looking 100%. It might change my mind.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I still prefer without. You'd really want to get them pinstripes perfect as well as it would exaggerate any imperfections in how the moulds line up

So stock VL berlina turbo hubcaps should be 4h017 grey metallic in colour from factory? What colour should the holden writing be? What is the colour of the bars on that white berlina turbo? The colour looks different to omypsi bars? Shouldnt OMYPSI have a commodore badge on his centre garnish? That is my fav berlina ever! Can the owner put more pics up of it please.
