the orange on the bonnet works particularly well given how hard it is with all the louvres to add colour without looking messy

Well done, looking really good.

I like the way that you have started the orange on the bonnet, a little back from the leading edge.
Allows the badge to stand out.

Is light blue the natural colour of your car?

Enjoy Le Mans.

You can fit GTE skirts, front spoiler and a race car rear wing, after you return from France. - wink

That is stunning Matt. Out of interest do you have PPF on? The reason I ask is that I considered going something similar last year when we went to Le Mans but never got round to finding out if you could sticker it up if you had film on. Would be good to know for the future.

Possibly another little tease Jonby?

I think you might be looking forward to something rather special, but we do not know what it is.

I was told by the experts (well Topaz) that putting decals over ppf was perfectly fine. Guess they just need a bit of care in their removal

I was talking about an option for Matt's car actually .......

That's separate to anything I might be looking forward to :-)

Been there - done that biggrin
Looks great Matt - be prepared to get lots of attention. Last year we were pulled up by 3 very serious (and well armed) Gendarmes but all they wanted to do was take photos - enjoy !!!!!!

Thanks Ian!
Only ppf is on the lower part of the front bumper.
I'm not a fan of the stuff to be honest, waste of money in my opinion wink
That said, they've attached some stickers to that area so it can't be a problem.
