English term or phrase: optional overhead stripes
A sporty physique will always attract admirers. So, it’s no surprise the German engineers at Ford have made the stunning Fiesta range a whole lot sexier with the addition of the smart and very cool Fiesta XR4 three door hatch. With its torquey engine, 17" alloys^, slick body kit, rear spoiler and ***optional overhead stripes***, you'll find the Fiesta XR4 both a performer and a head turner.

Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
这样在译文的上下文中显得更协调。如果是个具体的东西,optional一般译为“选配”,相对于standard(标配)。但这里的stripes不是个东西:-),所以没法套用“选配”,只好生造一个“选喷”:-)
