Grey and Orange?

[houlbt]

...ok ok i know it's upsetting for you purists but here is this seasons colour scheme. Pics from Silverstone last weekend.

At least now if you see it out you'll know it's me.

The grey i am on the fence with but the wheels look brilliant in that orange :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Might have to consider something lairy like that for my track wheels :smokin:

Thanks guys... the grey came out a little lighter than I initially expected when speccing the colour (it's a vinly wrap btw) but actually I'm very happy with it and wouldn't change it. The car isn't discreet but then that's not really the aim and it's purely a toy for race weekends, trackdays etc.

The orange is actually flouro-orange although it's hard to demonstrate in photos. Wheels are powdercoated and for durability I prefer this finish over paint.

Raccoon did the wrap and in fairness to them the job they have done is superb. Last time with the white/red finish I had some reservations and I pointed this out. This time they raised the bar (and I think they have had farmore experience at wrapping cars in the last 18 months) the finish really is A1 this time.

That looks cracking mate, I like alot. As you said, track car so it should look different. On the road however, I might look twice but for the wrong reasons.

Dyno Rod springs to mind!!!

interesting Tom:whistle:

one positive thing is it is narrowing down my choice of colour wrap

Wished we had a company here in NZ that did car wraps like that ... wicked looking!!

Not sure to be honest...grey is a hard colour match anything with I think. Do like the Orange though and on a black car I think it would look even better.

nice..

i had similar idea, minus the stripe, maybe the wing mirrors.. but i only use the orange wheels for trackdays.. it's the gt3 rs orange..

maybe u should do the front grille too? :smokin:

houlbt, I think that works really well and love the wheels! Looks like thte same colour as on the old Marlboro YZR...hope you've not got copyright on it :whistle:

Thanks for the comments guys... like I say not to everyopnes taste but in the flesh I think it looks fab. The flouro-orange is super tricky to capture in a photo, the wheels and the stripe always loook a different colour.

So far as colour coding the front grill etc.. I think that could look pretty naff. I'm not even a fan of the black grilles which I know some of you here like, just not for me.

My car is hopefully more about go than show - I've actually got a new engine to put into it but it's taking forever for Jags & Nigel at BMsport to find time to fit/map as they have a few race cars in prep. But it should be pretty pokey - N/A with cams, lifters & head work to make them fit, bigger throttle bodies, custom manifold & exhaust - can't wait.
