You could go for Police livery and get your competitors to move out the way Whistle





And if they won't play ball barge your way past Whistle

Laugh @ Mike...

How about the Alan Mann Racing colours, seen here on a Ford F3L?



Or try a taste of Martini?

Well, i've got it home now, and just doing the last few bits to it. I started putting the new vinyl on it this week after work, and i can now see why people charge so much to wrap cars Laugh

At least it's only a race car so i'm not too fussed how it looks close up, but the rear arch i have done is pretty horrendous where it curves round at the edge. But oh well got to start somewhere.

I've also changed over the knackered coolant hoses that were on it to some silicon ones, although they did take f*cking 7 weeks to deliver, and not the 5 days they said they'd take :rant

Old:


New:


Fitted:


Start of the wrapping:

That would have been a real pain in the arse to do, as i'd have to find the exact same yellow colour vinyl that the spongebob print was on. Also wouldn't be all that noticable i don't think with the grills on the bonnet.

Well i've been continuing on this when i get a chance. Most of it is now wrapped, just the nose cone and bonnet to go now (which may end up getting painted).

The arches will probably just stay black now, as thats how they come when you have to replace them from damage.

The back all done. The green is quite a lot brighter than it shows in the picture


I had to make a plate to cover the large hole left after i cut out all the bend ali around the exhaust manifold after a previous accident




Dash all wired up and working (except the gear indicator as i reflashed it by accident and haven't reloaded the gear ratio's Doh )

1600 Carl, think they're about 0-60 in round about 5 seconds, but it really doesn't matter, as i'll only be racing against identical cars, should be a good laugh though.

Haven't done much on this recently, but i did end up paying a company to wrap the bonnet and nose cone for me as it turned out i had the wrong vinyl. The proper vinyl was much more expensive, so rather than buy some and then screw it up again i thought it best just to get it done properly.

So i got those back the other day, i fitted the stripe to them and then put the fixings back on, before mounting them back on the car:

I get a number of free tickets, but otherwise it's normally a fiver or 10 quid entry. We normally have a pot of tickets in the grads area in the paddock, and just ask anybody who uses one to chuck a couple of quid in the TCT (club charity) tin.

Good luck with that little list Sean!

Im guessing you need / want to get most of it done before the Brands trackday next month and use that as a testing session for it?
