A 5 - 3 - 5 stripe/gap sequence will be close enough, and very pleasing to the eye.

I'm familiar with the concept and yes it does make sense but the point of the red stripes on a white car is to emulate the Maser A6 GCS pictured earlier.
I come back to the issue of scale meaning that the 4"+4"+4" is altogether too narrow on the Z300S. Also, I wouldn't want a casual observer to confuse it with a Cobra.

I measured the centre line down the bonnet but the stripes are not symmetrical on the bonnet bulge so I may be trying out 5" tape sooner rather than later.
