Im impressed with how straight you've got the stripe! does look very cool!

Only small thing, have you not got the deflector on the wrong part of the passenger side headlight? Think they're both meant to be on the right (as you look at them) to stop the beam crossing into the oncoming lane? smile

Looks good...just be aware of one thing...some insuramce policies dont like you changing the look of the car. Even a few stickers can void a policy. Knew someone who this happened to on a bike. Was insured as 'standard' paint but was re-done in a 'race replica' colour. If i remember rightly the biggest problem was because he had 'race numbers' on it - like yours. When he crashed it (fully comp) they reduced the payout by about 50%. Might be worth checking out.

You may also want to check legality of race numbers. I have a suspicion that they need to be taped over (a cross) if the car is used on the road. Chances are that no-one will stop you, but it only takes one BiB to have gotten out of the wrong side of the bed.

Race numbers are legal, the only issue is with proper race numbers that usually have to be taped over if the car is on the road and that is normally a rule of the race organisers

Had mine like this for a while after Le Mans a couple of yeaqrs ago no problem even after being pulled by the BIB - they just wanted a look at the car thumbup
