Yip. Just saw this episode. The right front stripe was far closer to the bonnet badge than the left side badge. This would annoy me to distraction.
Just caught this episode for the first time today. Did anyone else notice that the front stripes were put on with uneven gaps?
Rulers and measures are your friend when it comes to spacing (Mike – that tip is for you 🙂
