Is anyone handy with Photoshop?

Thinking of a little project on the Spyder. I was wondering what it would look like with the windscreen surround wrapped in a black finish.

I think it would look quite effective with roof on or off. I think it would trick the eye into making the car look lower and would really highlight the humps. Just think it would suit it, especially on white spyders.

Then I'd be tempted to either get just black painted or carbon fibre wing mirrors. Carbon fibre, purely because I love the look of it, not for some weight saving belief.

Thanks in advance if someone is able to mock a picture up.

Ha ha... Very true though. Maybe low tech research is the answer! Found a local place that does wraps, might seek out a quote. At least if it doesn't look great or I get bored of it, it can all be easily reversed.

Perhaps you were inspired by the RS60 look?

I didn't realise the RS60 had this, but yes, that's the look.

I did some mocking up on a model this morning and think it will look good.

Going investigate pricing for Matt black wrap.

Isn't plasti-dip where it's at nowadays? Saves letting some cowboys near the car with scalpels & easy enough to do yourself (apparently)

yep i've seen plasti-dip. think it may give the effect you want, then just peel if off if it's not too your liking
