BulletMagnet Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 The reason I think Dans (Ekona) works, is because it's a blue (sorry Azure) car and it blends in nicely with a Gulf theme (white, orange and blue, although it's usually a pale blue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 On planes....... I'd put a big wing on my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Rich, if you're going to do it then you'll need to go OTT on the whole car to make it work IMHO. I'm talking big bodykit, big spoiler, big wheels, the works basically. I got away with mine as it's only ever a temp job for LM this year, wouldn't dream of keeping it on semi-permanently. You'll also need a big budget for it if you want to do it properly GT-style, bear in mind I spent £150 on cheap stickers and fitted 90% of them myself: You could easily spend anywhere up to £700 on vinyl and I'd get the experts to put it on as small stuff is a piece of cake, but you want the big stuff to look right. By that time you're getting to the point where a decent paint job is almost looking like the cheap option...! Have a word with the guys at Raccoon up in Woolpit, they can do the whole design for you to your specs and will use their quality vinyl. No harm in asking, anyway.

rtbiscuit Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 it was a floated idea, maybe i will maybe i won't need to sleep on it for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Is the damage only/mainly on the front matey? I think the long bonnet of the Zed and the slab sides would suit a large graphic design of some kind better than manufacturer logos, might be worth exploring that territory? Could get away with not having the silly bodykit + wing if you did it that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick43 Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I remember seeing a silver elise that had GM stripes - subtle but different and looked good (if you must). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz77 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 If we are talking made up cars.... Found this the other day... Love the skirts! this is awesome. makes me want a hard top. I would take the spoiler out and get a functional diffuser and maybe different wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz77 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 i know its only a scaletrix car in my first post, but i quite like the spoiler on it as well, am i a ricer PMSL very funny, ok i get the point, leave the big wings on aircraft or cars that need the down force because they are a real race car. Dont know what your on about.... All I can see in that pic is a nice pair! Its one of those optical illusions! some see words others see BOOBS! +1. at first glance I thought she had few nipples on each side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrier1 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 hey rt just an idea but with you having the blade silver car why not go for the red decals and use the same scheme as the nissan micra stock car with the primera gt engine. Think you'd find the colour arrangement would really suit your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 hey rt just an idea but with you having the blade silver car why not go for the red decals and use the same scheme as the nissan micra stock car with the primera gt engine.

harrier1 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 ill see if i can find it mate but other wise look at ur 1st page of replies take all the stickers off the silver and red racing 350 shown on there and thats quite similiar and P15UL T i only purchased my 350z 3 weeks ago but being a ****ing idiot who has never had rear wheel drive iv already got a slight scrath in front n/s wheel arch, and after seeing another sunset orange car in my area wana do something to make mine a little diff so considering getting some sort of design painted in a lighter orange just coming over from just off centre of bonnet over front wheel arch and slowly fading out down side of car but not sure how will look or when ill be able to afford it.

harrier1 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 this car does look amazing in the flesh mate and if nissan can use these colours to make a micra look good im sure they would work on your car or am i just being a pincer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Just don't write Nissan all over it, it'll look cheap and nasty. The actual design is quite basic otherwise, and could work very well. Is the Micra a red car with silver vinyl, or vice versa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
