Lewis, i kind of like the green but its a bit shy and retiring for a loud mouth coont like myself, lol, Orange looks awesome though.

Chip. I just had a vision of you driving around in a yellow 3dr playing that song. it looked 'special'

sorry but IMHO as per what Mike said, unless it is done in RACE livery non standard colours look gayer than him in lycra

Lol @ Spadge

Im sure AJ would agree with you too!


If i livery it up later on, it would look good with a yellow base but not an orange, so thats another plus for the yellow.

Plus my mates company (wizards of nos) corporate colours are yellow and black so that would be handy too.

Spadge, the escort looks ok, but not bright enough orange for what i want, love the arches though

True, soon it will be converted to "upside down in a ditch" mode.
