Yep widened to the driver side to make symmetrical or not at all. Sorry Rob, I'm with Chris. Looks goofy as is, even if you're a young 'un. Good job in all though 👍
Hey Chris & Rob, another great episode, the fact that you have subscribers that will go over and above to help with spares speaks volumes for what you are doing with the channel, it’s truly amazing guys! So the stripe, well for me the idea of keeping the car affordable is 100% spot on, the options of what you can do with vinyl will always be a personal taste thing, the fact you did it is all that matters, it was absolutely the right decision, for the next owner they can have it personalised for very little money, if they so wish, but my gut feel is that it will stay just as is! I guess time will tell. Thanks again guys, keep up the good work, looking forward to “the next one”.
This would have been a great collaboration with manscaped! Shaving the seats instead of your bits and Bob's!! Love how quickly the roof and windows work.
This is completely not a criticism just to let you know the volumes are way off as in the music is really loud so I turn the volume down but then when you talk it's really really quiet so I have to turn it right up but then the music is really loud again so I have to keep changing the volume every 2 mins i didn't notice it too much with headphones but recently can't use them and its been driving me nuts, love the channel and watch every vid still but as they say if you don't say about something the Pearson won't know
As you said Rob, a nice little motor for someone who's just passed their test and you've done a good job getting the roof and windows working again. I'm with Chris on the stripe though.
That's going to do someone good that. I have to say I've had some high prices from dealers but those regulators are absolute daylight robbery but good to see a subscriber coming to the rescue! Top work guys 👍🏻
The strip is alright but your eye is drawn to it as it looks like it’s off centre but other than that looks good. Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care Edited hope your all have a nice week
This is a fantastic channel. You guys are so genuine. Nice to see a couple of guys fixing up some cars for a little profit and not bodging everything along the way! Keep it up. Earned my sub no doubt about it!
Sorry Rob, I think I preferred it with the scratches. I know I can't see the depth of the scratches, but can't you get special filler/polishes that pick up the colour of the surrounding paint?
What a bargain, someone will enjoy this. I have a 2004 Volvo V70 which is in brilliant condition for the year. But if I added all that I have spent I would lose money. But as I intend to hold onto the car I’m not worried, As for the stripes, as you said a personal choice.
The stripe would've been alright either central or off to one side. But it looks as if he's tried to put it on central and missed! Great video though lads!
The stripe looks fine and no worse than you see on many small hatchbacks these days. 19k miles! That is amazing and will be a brilliant small car for somebody - especially now its been fixed by you guys - well done!
Someone is going to treasure this little car especially if it is their first. Transparency is the key & you guys are totally transparent. Thanks for the content.
A rare car Rob but I am with Chris, the stripes dont really work. It doesnt matter tho because that car as usual is a bargain ! Great content mate keep it up !
Hi Rob, I'm not keen on the stripe being off centre like that and if I had been doing it, knowing that most likely a young lady or even an older lady would be buying that car I would have put a pink stripe right down the centre. Maybe a thin black or dark red stripe on both sides of the pink one. Like you said it is personal choice. A great video again and thanks for keeping them coming.
Nice little car. Good idea with the stripes but I don't like the white and I'd prefer the dark stripe to be symmetrical about the middle. I'd have probably gone with a blue stripe (close to the car colour) in the middle. But anyway, it is what it is and a nice car for someone.
The stripe was a good idea ..not sure about the colour though..would have gone light and dark blue meself but like you say Rob its all about differences in taste .. but the CZC has scrubbed up well...super little car..I had a 4dr one of these..3 cylinder 1100 engine very peppy thumbs up top job
Hello, great video,what a tidy car for the money,the window motor is sorted and works quick,the mileage is low for the year,the stripe is ideal for the scratches and makes it different.
Seem to remember a sporty version of the hatch Colt ( not the Ralliart) that came with stripes as standard, owned a CZ1 for about 8 trouble free years very underrated & reliable
It looked better before the white stripes. If I saw a car for sale with off center vinyl striped the first thing I would think is its covering scratches. probably would have looked better with wrapping the whole boot and bonnet. Still its a great little starter car for someone or a sunny day second car.
I had a modded turbo version of one of these not so long ago, and the regulator went on the passenger side. Christ it was like trying to find hens teeth online. In the end time and money won over and the car went to a new owner. Great little cars, if you can keep the roof going! Also watch out for the rain ducts that run behind the rear seats, the plastic holders can snap over the years and the tubing ends up pointing directly under your rear seats. Ends up giving your car a lovely foot spa feeling. I spent a good month or so tearing mine apart to find that to be my flooding issue! Just something to keep an eye out for :)
The stripe is just fine. If it were my car, I would have put it in the centre and made it a little wider. But still it cleaned up very nicely. It's going to be a nice little car for someone.
Nice to see it saved - crazy price for the window regulators but well done to the subscriber for coming up with the goods! As for the stripe, should have been orange :)
Great idea with the stripe. I would lose the white pin stripes. Love the channel, you two are so fair with you pricing and I enjoy the varied content. Keep it going.
If the drivers side was little wider and it was the same size on both sides of the central badge I think would look absolutely perfect, but overall, to cover the key marks looks amazing sorry to be a downer guys but you have done a wicked job love the content. Keep it coming guys you’re amazing
Great idea about the strip, but its doing my OCD in, When you have finished shaving the seat, can you send the machine as as an early Christmas present for my missuses as her legs need doing .
As an engineer, that offset stripe would drive me nuts every time I looked at it! Symmetry rules in my world 👍Great little motor for a young gel as you say Rob, for little money. 😎
I bought me son an 09 plate 3 dr Colt 7 years ago. It has been mega reliable. Went for a test in the CC version that you have done up. It was the rattleist car I have ever driven :)
Personal opinion the stripe would of been better if it was symetrical same amount of bonet either side etc, and without the white stripes i think it looked fine just the satin black
No Rob ... I dont often disagree with you but the colour and offset of the strip is all wrong... perhaps a silver strip and central would have been better
Hi guys. great idea with the vinyl! yes not to everyone's taste but that's life. I have had a similar problem with my Alfa 156 sportwagon, its red (many shades of) and the lacquer on the roof was showing signs of starting to peel. So had the roof Vinyl wrapped in gloss black and it looks stunning and also put a modern twist on a car that was getting on in years. A cheap (£125.00) and effective solution to a problem that is complicated and expensive to solve.
Tidy motor for someone but I'd have preferred the stripe in the middle, that's my ocd!! I think the headlight len's need restoring just to make it look that bit sharper if you've got any stuff left from that kit.
Yeah stripe not for me. Or at least should have gone all the way over the roof etc. But understand it’s a quick flip good cheap car. 19k, great car for someone. Well done.
I would have got it touched in & polished up not keen on the stripes but as you say a young person might .........looks good for the money you want & you saved it from the scrapyard 👍
Great job rob and chris. I would of made the stripe wider so it's in the centre and used that stuff you had in the rav 4 video to tidy up the headlights. Apart from that lovely little car for someone
That come up a proper treat, defiantly the right decision to have the stripes put on, Cheaper and actually looks much nicer, I think it looks even more modern now its just have it a fresh look.
Had 1 of these 3 years back and traded it in for a 4 door car as no room for baby seats for when i had my new grandkid , never had 1 problem with it , great to drive , fast and when clean and polished up was a headturner with top down in summer ! Absolute bargain at the price your after for it and someone will get a great car and have real fun in nice weather zipping around in it!
You were saying Rob, that the stripe would probably appeal to a younger person but I'm in my seventies and thought it looked good. Perhaps I have entered my 2nd childhood! Good little car, well done again Hugh
I’d have gone with a pair of twin white stripes instead of that asymmetrical black stripe thing. Looks a bit too “max power” for me instead of a classy pair of white stripes.
Great work as always! Good cheap car for someone there although personally not a fan of the stripe. I'd rather have it without or pay more for the repair, but each to their own.
I think the stripe may have been better in the middle rather than asymmetrical. Good idea though.
Yeah, the Idea of the stripe is nice but i would've centralized. Though this is better than painting and An expensive car.
Wouldn't be able to live with it not central 🙈🙈🙈
And the headlights needs a polish! 🙂
Yeah, the lack of centrality makes the stripe look like a home brew job. If I was to buy it I'd take it off and get the paint job done.
Yep widened to the driver side to make symmetrical or not at all. Sorry Rob, I'm with Chris. Looks goofy as is, even if you're a young 'un. Good job in all though 👍
Having the stickers offset looks wrong, symmetry is key!
Just shows how loved this channel is as you and Chris are great that subscribers want to get involved and help.
Got to agree with Chris,the stripe is off centre and your eye is drawn to that fact
That stripe would drive me insane not being in the centre
Hey Chris & Rob, another great episode, the fact that you have subscribers that will go over and above to help with spares speaks volumes for what you are doing with the channel, it’s truly amazing guys!

This would have been a great collaboration with manscaped! Shaving the seats instead of your bits and Bob's!! Love how quickly the roof and windows work.
Legendary work from Gordon the subscriber there. Long may that kind of generosity from your subscribers continue.
Great work Rob but the stripe needs changing... symmetrical and maybe silver pinstripe rather than white.
Need to use the headlight restorer kit as well
Definitely should have had centralised twin silver stripes on that, to match the wheels
This is completely not a criticism just to let you know the volumes are way off as in the music is really loud so I turn the volume down but then when you talk it's really really quiet so I have to turn it right up but then the music is really loud again so I have to keep changing the volume every 2 mins i didn't notice it too much with headphones but recently can't use them and its been driving me nuts, love the channel and watch every vid still but as they say if you don't say about something the Pearson won't know
My OCD is triggered by the vinyl no being centered ;)
As you said Rob, a nice little motor for someone who's just passed their test and you've done a good job getting the roof and windows working again. I'm with Chris on the stripe though.
Haha! The Remington Fuzz Away. Making old clothes (and car seats) look like new since the 1970's!
Word of mouth is amazing. Nice that followers of the channel can reach out and help when you need it 👍 Great looking little run around.
Victor Kiam would be proud of that seat .. Great car
That's going to do someone good that. I have to say I've had some high prices from dealers but those regulators are absolute daylight robbery but good to see a subscriber coming to the rescue! Top work guys 👍🏻
The strip is alright but your eye is drawn to it as it looks like it’s off centre but other than that looks good. Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Edited hope your all have a nice week

Sorry Rob, I think I preferred it with the scratches. I know I can't see the depth of the scratches, but can't you get special filler/polishes that pick up the colour of the surrounding paint?
The bobble remover is great on fleeces and jumpers (my wife swore by hers), but that's the first time I've seen one used on a car seat!
It done a good job of that seat 👍
What a bargain, someone will enjoy this. I have a 2004 Volvo V70 which is in brilliant condition for the year. But if I added all that I have spent I would lose money. But as I intend to hold onto the car I’m not worried, As for the stripes, as you said a personal choice.
You did a wonderful job fixing that car. It will be a great little car for someone. Well done!
The stripe would've been alright either central or off to one side. But it looks as if he's tried to put it on central and missed!

Respect to the Scottish fella.
Good man.
Someone is going to treasure this little car especially if it is their first.

Thanks for the content.
stripe should be central or not at all !!!
Genuine channel, with genuine subscribers. Genuine no no for the stripe. But for the money, new owner has choices
A rare car Rob but I am with Chris, the stripes dont really work. It doesnt matter tho because that car as usual is a bargain ! Great content mate keep it up !
Good idea with the stripe, colour looks ok, but think it would of looked better central/wider stripe? Cool and quirky little car for someone though.
Rob, I think some Dukes of Hazzard air horns would go well with that stripe mate. I'm sure Chris would be convinced then.
Hi Rob, I'm not keen on the stripe being off centre like that and if I had been doing it, knowing that most likely a young lady or even an older lady would be buying that car I would have put a pink stripe right down the centre.

I must admit I’m not a huge fan of the stripe but I do see why you did it 👍🏻
Awwww dear….. it really needed to be centred.
Great that you got the windows and roof operational!
My ocd kicks in, strip is off center. Still some people will like it. Great Vid
Hello, great video,what a tidy car for the money,the window motor is sorted and works quick,the mileage is low for the year,the stripe is ideal for the scratches and makes it different.
Black looked class on its own but clearly a blinding idea lads well done 👍🏼
Hi rob tbh I would of just left it with the scratches on it the stripes need to be symmetrical for me but the seat has amazed me well done 👍
The stripe would have been better in the middle it looks stupid off to the side
Seem to remember a sporty version of the hatch Colt ( not the Ralliart) that came with stripes as standard, owned a CZ1 for about 8 trouble free years very underrated & reliable
Its 1.28 in the AM, I've had 13 pints of Stella , the bloke who put that stripe on ,must be on his 14th
😂😂
Quick head light polish kit maybe? Stripe idea was good - a central/symmetrical placement may have worked better - but it does the job 👍🏼
It looked better before the white stripes. If I saw a car for sale with off center vinyl striped the first thing I would think is its covering scratches. probably would have looked better with wrapping the whole boot and bonnet. Still its a great little starter car for someone or a sunny day second car.
It is covering up scratches lol
I had a modded turbo version of one of these not so long ago, and the regulator went on the passenger side. Christ it was like trying to find hens teeth online. In the end time and money won over and the car went to a new owner. Great little cars, if you can keep the roof going!

You did the right thing with the stripe, I didn't like it at first but looks better in the final walkaround
Stripes not my pot of tea Rob but it’s exactly what it says on the tin, a cheap run around for someone 👍👍
Nice to see it saved - crazy price for the window regulators but well done to the subscriber for coming up with the goods! As for the stripe, should have been orange :)
Really needs to be in the middle and polished headlights
Great idea with the stripe. I would lose the white pin stripes. Love the channel, you two are so fair with you pricing and I enjoy the varied content. Keep it going.

"If you cant hide it, make a feature of it" - my dear old Dad, the antique dealer 😁😀👍
The stripe covers the damage and tidies the car up. Not my preference but it’s sorted out the eyesore. Well done Chris and Rob
That stripe is doing my ocd in!...
As an engineer, that offset stripe would drive me nuts every time I looked at it! Symmetry rules in my world 👍Great little motor for a young gel as you say Rob, for little money. 😎
Needed symmetry so right down the centre, and Chris was right, they should have been white. Still a bargain at 1250
I bought me son an 09 plate 3 dr Colt 7 years ago. It has been mega reliable. Went for a test in the CC version that you have done up. It was the rattleist car I have ever driven :)
Like the idea of the stripe, would be better centralised.
Good to hear that music back from some of the older videos..missed it.
Personal opinion the stripe would of been better if it was symetrical same amount of bonet either side etc, and without the white stripes i think it looked fine just the satin black
What down to earth folk you two are,god bless guys.
No Rob ... I dont often disagree with you but the colour and offset of the strip is all wrong... perhaps a silver strip and central would have been better
Bobble remover and cut vinyl, now I wasn't expecting that! The stripes suit the car well and don't take anything away from it, an inspired idea!
It looks cack but I see what you’re saying about it not being worth spraying. Difficult one. I’m sure someone will love it though.
Hi guys. great idea with the vinyl! yes not to everyone's taste but that's life. I have had a similar problem with my Alfa 156 sportwagon, its red (many shades of) and the lacquer on the roof was showing signs of starting to peel. So had the roof Vinyl wrapped in gloss black and it looks stunning and also put a modern twist on a car that was getting on in years. A cheap (£125.00) and effective solution to a problem that is complicated and expensive to solve.
Sorry I hate the position of the stripe I would need it central off centre sets my ocd off lol 😂 nice little car for someone
Came out grate as always like the black but not 100% sold on the white thick and thin lines also it being a off centered line
Maybe a double black stripe ? . Not keen on it being off centre.
Can't stand it being off centre and unequal 🙉
Would certainly have liked centre/symmetrical as well but still a nice cover job
Tidy motor for someone but I'd have preferred the stripe in the middle, that's my ocd!!
I think the headlight len's need restoring just to make it look that bit sharper if you've got any stuff left from that kit.
Maybe it's my OCD kicking in ....but why on earth was the vinyl not centred on the bonnet and boot - it looks more obvious being offset
Because that’s what I asked for
Those clothes de-bobblers (or lint shavers) are available from Amazon and lots of other places. I have two, and they are brilliant.
I think I would have rather put up with the scratches Rob. But A for Effort lol.
Hi Rob & Chris loved the video on the little colt it looks great keep them coming 👍
Yeah stripe not for me. Or at least should have gone all the way over the roof etc. But understand it’s a quick flip good cheap car. 19k, great car for someone. Well done.
Looks good the only criticism would be not white a light blue and carried on past third brake light but I’d buy and drive it🙂
why is the stripe or stripes not centered
I would have got it touched in & polished up not keen on the stripes but as you say a young person might .........looks good for the money you want & you saved it from the scrapyard 👍
Mmmmm not so sure about the stripes, maybe better to cover the whole panel. Good effort though.👍👍
Great job rob and chris. I would of made the stripe wider so it's in the centre and used that stuff you had in the rav 4 video to tidy up the headlights. Apart from that lovely little car for someone
I like the twin mini stripe would of looked better in dark matt gray with thin pinstripe in silver
I'm an older person and like the stripe, but centred for my brain, great job though, well done.
If the stripe was a bit wider it could have been centralised and would have looked a lot better. Other than that, another quality job 👍
Good work on getting it finished but the stripe not my cup of tea.. but perfectly good to cover up. 👍👌
Rob, talking of soft tops, did that fella ever get to the bottom of the Merc roof fault? from a while ago.
That come up a proper treat, defiantly the right decision to have the stripes put on, Cheaper and actually looks much nicer, I think it looks even more modern now its just have it a fresh look.
I would have had the entire bonnet wrapped in the Matt Black vinyl.
Had 1 of these 3 years back and traded it in for a 4 door car as no room for baby seats for when i had my new grandkid , never had 1 problem with it , great to drive , fast and when clean and polished up was a headturner with top down in summer ! Absolute bargain at the price your after for it and someone will get a great car and have real fun in nice weather zipping around in it!
Shame you didn’t sort the yellow headlights out would of improved the front end no end
I can’t be perfect every day 👍
Another great honest little car we'll done guys,,, I'm 63 and think the stripes look great!!!!!
Really don’t understand why the vinyl fella didn’t centralise the stripe. Looks really amateur with its current placement imo
You were saying Rob, that the stripe would probably appeal to a younger person but I'm in my seventies and thought it looked good. Perhaps I have entered my 2nd childhood! Good little car, well done again
Hugh
I’d have gone with a pair of twin white stripes instead of that asymmetrical black stripe thing. Looks a bit too “max power” for me instead of a classy pair of white stripes.
Great video lads,just a quick question why Instagram for your adverts thanks
Stripe would have been better central on the bonnet and boot… would have given the new owner the choice of paint or vinyl.
Great work as always! Good cheap car for someone there although personally not a fan of the stripe. I'd rather have it without or pay more for the repair, but each to their own.
