The Suzuki Swift would have to be the most common copy I've seen of a Fiesta's stripes.
Just head to Bathurst and you'd know what I mean - the dealer out there must be giving away stripes for free. You'll see them everywhere you look!

There's a Mazda 3 that has driven along my street a few times with the Fez stripes and big exhaust. Ohh... the THE worst bling wheels you had ever seen.

I just got back from a road trip around Thailand. Saw HEAPS of Yaris' with Fez style stripes and full on boy ricer body kits, lowered, phat exhausts etc. etc. This was a constant source of amusement for me....I did not see even one Fiesta over there, saw a few Focus ( Foci ?) though.

One of my friends bought the same fez as mine panther black 5 door lx and she got orange stripes put on it with a huge tiger on the bonnet leaping out as she is a west tigers fan looks great. but i really think it should only be the XR's that can get stripes makes them more special

Meh, I don't get what the fuss is about.
Yes it's a little me too, but it's not like the XR-4 "owns" the idea of stripes in the first place. Ford Shelby Cobra, Falcon Cobra or a Dodge Viper ring any bells? infact just about anything that raced in the late '60s had some sort of stripes on it and they were all much tougher cars than any of our fez's.

well to rephrase it better only the sports model of cars. like the Yaris YRX the fez XR4 etc. it looks a bit out of place on a standard every day from a to b appliance.
