Yes it's Thorney Motorsports Demo Road Car. They're the guys who helped top gear on their 24hours race last year.

Not sure if it looks a little 'Max Power' (for want of a better expression) tbh!?

I LOVE the way the CSL looks as standard, it is nice to see something different though and it doesn't actually look 'bad'!

I like that.

It's not easy doing vehicle wrapping, so fair play to those guys.

To be honest if I regularly tracked my car i'd do it, looks pretty cool and would protect the paintwork

Drinking larger and getting into a messy state is pointless and adds weight, but it don't stop the people doing so...

You're Scottish and wear pleated girl's skirts - you can't get any more gay than cross-dressing - your opinion is therefore void .

Almost as expensive as a respray, but it is supposed to be completely reversible, so you won't be devaluing a car such as a CSL that is expected to be black or grey (the same way as you wouldn't paint a genuine RS500 any colour other than original, without expeting to take a hit on resale value).

Posted this pic before on one of my Ring trip reports ages ago, but thought it was worth another post:



Really like wrapping, think it can look really good, especially with a huge pic / image on it!

Soon as I saw the wheels I knew whose car it was. Really nice car.

The Matt Black is much better than the "thorn" stripes they had on the car for a while.
