I remember pics of a saloon with wide wheel arches, posted some time in the last year as being for sale ...

A B-reg MkII IIRC?

Matt Maroon does it for me sm40

But a cream vinyl stripe down the middle of the car would lift it a lot...

Oh your filling my head with ideas, really like the idea of a stripe following the window grove and have talked it over loads with my mate but just havent figured what colour to do it in.
We have been pondering a matt black stripe or a white stripe but i dunno lol.

Got to be a lighter accent colour, I think Ronnie hit the nail on the head with cream. Any sort of off-white would be good, but not as dark as beige. And do it really well with a real glossy shine (and gold flake) to contrast with the rest of the car.
That's 100% what I would do in your shoes. Your mate Dave seems to have the skills to help you out with the spraying too.
