    Factory Stripe - Doors (measurement pls)

    Hey Guys,
    I"m looking for the size of the door stripe from the dealer. I like the look of it, but needed a different colour.
    I would appreciate a picture with a rule up against it or the numbers for the bottom, middle and top stripe.

    Thanks in advance.

    Anyone one got one of these stripes they can measure...
    i'm guessing around 1" tall but wanted to match it closely if possible, just making it in Green...

    I'd help you if I could! There's no Nissan dealership in my city.

    OR... you could estimate extremely closely by doing something like this...

    View this large image of a Micra with stripe: http://picolio.auto123.com/auto123-m...2015_010en.jpg

    Zoom in on the stripe, and match it to some other element on your car you can easily measure. EG: The wide portion appears to be practically the same height as the door handle:

    And you could get the size of the smaller stripe by how many times it fits inside the big one (about 6.5 times).

    I agree...i played that game last night...i figuerd it would be about 1.5" tall if memory serves...the same height as the handle on the hatch within reason...
    i took it as 1" for the bottom stripe and 1/4" for the space and the top stripe...
    i'll send to my printer tonight and see how it looks on the car when it's done...



    I'm making Green, but can print anything really...

    If anybody were feeling entrepreneurial, they could probably sell DIY Micra stripe kits.

    When mine are done and if they look good I will offer to people.
    Just need to figure out cost.
    Likely something in the $30 area

    That is exactly what i wanted...Thank you much for this...
    I already sent mine for print so i'll adjust my for re-prints if i don't like the colour i've chosen.
    I believe i made the main stripe 1" instead of 1.25" and the top stripe .25 instead of .1875 but pretty close...Should be fine on the car...

    Well, Colour is spot on...I'm happy with the look of it, stripe is slightly different, but nothing that bothers me at this point.
