Default Datapost livery on my Mk4. Look good or not right?

The RST will be having a livery made soon and I've been looking over a few cars, but I can't get the Datapost scheme out of my head. It's such a great, simple period look. Can a MK4 pull it off? Maybe have the same scheme but change Datapost to something else in the same font?

Yeah, I think the Datapost cars are too iconic really. Anyone got any other ideas? Has to be a red base though. I'm not wrapping or painting it lol. I'm not aware of any MK4 competition cars?

DEV is an awesome motor, mate! Would love that. Shouldn't have sold my MK3

I've owned the car so long, Gus, I just want a little change. It's already got AH Fabrications stickers on the rear quarter panels which I like.
