I am sure that the work Simon is doing is the bollox though

Lee firstly the work this guy is doing looks spot on

Secondly, I agree with you on the colours.. I dont like them, they dont please the eye imo... BUT the colour scheme is retrospective of the 'reyland' cars so it will get away with it.

I agree also with a stealth but really deep dark silver/grey... with dark rims.. and black under the bonnet goodies..it would look HARD !


anyways, looking really good mate whatever the colour scheme

Going with new Black ProAlloy stealth stuff under the bonnet and would like to have gone stealth on the outside with window tints to try and hide the cage Would have been funny destroying thing out of track in an old Sierra that did not look so mad. Where as now I piss past them but they just think its a 'race car'

but it really is only a track car, I only ever drive it to and from events, its not like I use it as a proper car. And and I think people quite like to see the two cars going around together.... Martin was having his done and so I just went for it. Still not sure I have done the right thing!!!

Still have your Defi thing by the way

AH but is it!!! I'll bet getting a uniform wavey line is a blody nightmare, but pulling mask tape out straight is fairly simple
