Unfortunately I only have that stripe which is for the right front guard... If the stripes on anyone's car were clear enough they could probably be scanned/photographed and touched up using photoshop. Hey Jason, next time you see your mates Wagon could you grab a picture under the bonnet of the body tag on the firewall? It looks Aussie assembled (going off the open hole headrests) so Id be keen to see the tag if you could Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
