Grey and Orange?

...ok ok i know it's upsetting for you purists but here is this seasons colour scheme. Pics from Silverstone last weekend.

At least now if you see it out you'll know it's me.

Arancio grey? a la Lambo?

Looks great Tom, really great.

Needs orange kidney grills :D

Thanks guys... the grey came out a little lighter than I initially expected when speccing the colour (it's a vinly wrap btw) but actually I'm very happy with it and wouldn't change it. The car isn't discreet but then that's not really the aim and it's purely a toy for race weekends, trackdays etc.

The orange is actually flouro-orange although it's hard to demonstrate in photos. Wheels are powdercoated and for durability I prefer this finish over paint.

Raccoon did the wrap and in fairness to them the job they have done is superb. Last time with the white/red finish I had some reservations and I pointed this out. This time they raised the bar (and I think they have had farmore experience at wrapping cars in the last 18 months) the finish really is A1 this time.

That looks cracking mate, I like alot. As you said, track car so it should look different. On the road however, I might look twice but for the wrong reasons.

Dyno Rod springs to mind!!!

interesting Tom

one positive thing is it is narrowing down my choice of colour wrap
