Jim... Red top with black bottom half (think 512 BB) and black wing? Just trying to be different. I like the red roof throwback but think there needs to be something to break it up--this could be done with black bottom panels. Keep the stripe too. Either way, here's a vote for throwback red. P.S.--Any decision on mirrors? Sent from my HTC Hero using Tapatalk.
Did this in 15 minutes and the pic is very low-res so it is very rough but: Image Unavailable, Please Login
I think the whole stripe should be as wide as the center panel on the roof (that's what I lined it up with originally), then make the blue stripe 1/3 the width of the whole thing.
Fixed the stripe and threw in a treat: Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
I vote for: Red paint Black roof Black front and rear spoilers A complete and total absence of stripes Essentially, your image 1 with a black spoiler. All the best, Andrew.
The red roof works better than the black roof if you are going with the 'modern-old' style theme. Especially since you are using black for the spoilers. I would actually do a red body and spoilers for more harmony in the overall design... Say yes to red white and blue stripes. Will this be the same custom shade of red that P4/5 wears? The black 'test car' with the gold wheels was an inspired choice! CH
With the black roof, you lose the 'flow' of the stripes from the front to the back of the car - you have this big, black 'break' in the middle. The red roof allows the stripes more continuity.
My vote is for black roof, black spoiler. Is the car going have a lot of sponsorship on it? If it is,i would also vote for no stripe, as the car could start to look very busy.
Are you still going with the glow in the dark idea from earlier on, or is it out of the equation now.
