tdf rear end paint spec, can't decide.....thoughts please?

[Camlet]

Car will be blue stripe over silver, diamond wheels, carbon wheels centres, gloss black calipers, blu medio interior. Four routes for rear end paint spec. Can't decide and would be very grateful for opinions please.

Excuse my crap paint handiwork.

Thanks.

I'm not sure my personal opinion is really any use, however, since you ask...

I don't like no 3. It just seems a funny place to stop the stripe.

No 1, I think wastes the stripe in that you can't really see it at all from the rear.

No 4, I think is a little bit too much.

No 2, for me, is just right.

So my vote is for No 2.

One note: I assume you will have standard, UK, yellow rear plate and I think it might be worth showing that as I think that helps sway me from No 4 to No 2.

Thanks. Point well made about UK plate, I'll try and paint them yellow......probably be a dogs dinner

[Camlet]

With yellow, thanks:

Number 3!

Number 3. Gives the metal horse a bit of space.

[MingtheMerciless]

No 4. Well any of the above will be wonderful, but if you are going all stripey (which you should), go the whole hog. The TDF isn't exactly a shrinking violet.

I must say that made more of a difference than I was expecting and I actually find it harder to choose than I did before. I stand by what I said about 1. but 4. looks much better, to my eye, with the yellow plates whereas I thought it might jar. I still go for 2. marginally ahead of 4 and 3. (I take DodgyDave's point about space around the Cavallino). Don't know if we're helping you though!

I'd go for Number 3!

[jasonwdh]

3 for definite, pretty sure that's where the stripe on my CS stopped.

Can you get the brake calipers in the same gloss colour as the stripe?

I do love the colour scheme though, really suits it.

Your boys threw away a good chance at the weekend to put pressure on Leicester, hope you haven't got a team of "bottlers" there mate

Don't rub it in! I watched it at home with a Gooner mate. TBH, I was worried at one stage, probably a fair result but we should have closed it out. Per the calipers I did ask but the calipers are huge and easily seen and there's already so much going on with the car I decided less is more. Thanks for the positive comment on the scheme.

Number 3 and what a lovely dilemma..

[Frrair]

No 3 as well for me, it strengthens the bold black line between the lights. IMO

I reckon this is the view most people will be seeing anyway so it worthy of careful consideration.

[A10]

Go big or or go home.

No.4.

[ajr550]

3 for me as well

[Bas Jaski]

Number 1 for me, please.

[Mr_C]

3. Makes it look wider.

[clarky92]

3 without a doubt

[Mr_C]

It's a nice dilemma to have..

[roygarth]

I'd have the car in T De F Blue.....with a silver stripe
