Just starting to think about the GTW as was, and what I would like it to look like when finished.

Wayne (AKA the Prince of Darkness), was a stealth, black on black man. Black body, black wheels. blue and red wing supports!! eek , I just think it might be TOO black for me.

I have a thing for Mclaren's first F1 victor, the 1995 Ueno Clinic livery.

Whilst the body has to be (obviously smile) black, what do you guys think about this 'titanium' , graphite look for the wheel, wing supports, rocker covers etc?

Just looking for some feedback.

Cheers

Pete

Ha! It's in safe hands for that mate. Been running already. A race engineer's touch was all it needed...

Fortunately just changed direction (again) on colour scheme otherwise would have been very similar... black/graphite/carbon is a very tasty and timeless combo... IMHO!
Getting a bit of detail on the Ultima's body helps define the complex curves.
G Luck.

Hi pete,

I was speaking to one of your ex MR2 race buddies at Silverstone last week. He said your car was being worked on by a very capable person. So, it is not going to be a track sl*g! Still I think we all knew that could never be the case, well for those of us that know you that is wink

Well, I dunno yet. It won't have reversing camera, nor audio, but it won't be ali inside. It will be as racy as I can get it whilst being road legal.

Arf! Arf! Don't worry matey. It'll just be wheels and pylons, not body work.

Are you going for a full no 59 replica design then?

errr...along those lines..sort of!
..but then I s'pose that if we did both do the same...if we meet up in a car park somewhere we would look like a pair of slippers! yes

Actually i'm in mid stream with the Dash and interior at the mo..with what is turning out to be one of my more expensive and time/money-gobbling ideas - something I did not bargain for.

You know the thing..get thinking whilst going to sleep one night..toss,turn,toss,turn...wake up with a eureka moment..grab the rip-saw - get slashing & cutting in a moment of manic over-enthusasm...then sit back with a feeling of slowly growing panick after realising...there is no way back...and you say to yourself - "Matey! You have done it now - and no way it ain't gonna cost!"
Why I did not listen to others and keep the damn thing standard! It would be on the road by now with a few more pennies in my pocket!

Still - I think some will like it!

ThhhhT! yes

Looks Cool Pete

I feel so carbon wrapp in places here just incase you want to change your mind.

The 3d carbon is very nice!!!

Not sure of the grey wheels, Id look at body mods first then decide as Black wheels are the in thing at the moment..
