110% go satin black, would look brilliant. Bright colours just wouldn't suit the rest of it. Would look so moody with dark wheels and all the carbon

Although it looks tough with black rims, i don't think it stands out that much!

Really impressed.
What i like is that you havent spend millions and you still have the best of all bits. When im not racing myself i will attend the time attack. Be interesting to see what you get around snetterton as I race there often and be interesting to see how my race Saxo vtr that is built only for racing and perfect setup for Snetterton against a car with 200+bhp more which is built for fast road/track.

Looks good Ron but i would be tempted to go more orange than RED, also not a massive fan of the splash on the spoke. I would get Stickey to make up a RACELINE sticker in same colour as you do the edge for one spoke.
