Hi, I bought my 595 Competizione a few months back and I absolutely love it, although this is getting on my nerves. I'm not sure if it's me being picky, lazy or awkward but my stripes seem to keep fading unless I treat them with vinyl cleaner but even then water takes the cleaner straight off and they fade back to white. I was wondering whether they all do this or the stripes aren't OEM (I know they were replaced at some point in the past)?

Thanks for any help

TL;DR I'm tired of reblacking my stripes and getting the residue off the paintwork every time it rains!

Thanks Lewis, I'll ring the dealer tomorrow for a price on a new set.

So I've just rang up by local Fiat dealer and been quoted £144 pound PER SIDE and that's without fitting. Anyone know where I can get some good quality stripes? Thanks

Perhaps that's the price because of far better quality

Plus some Abarth tax lol!

Crazy price!  I had my matt black stripes supplied & fitted by a local vinyl sign specialist. They charged me £60 and I'm 100% satisfied. 3M quality vinyl - 5 years life span. The usual shiny 3M vinyl has a 7 year life span they said but matt will last 5 years.

Worth doing a Google and phoning a few local firms close to you. Trust me, I'm really glad I didn't buy them and fit them myself considering the price I paid.
