I have plenty of pics of liquid yellow!
are you having decals fitted of some sort? i think you should to set it apart so maybe yellow with grey/black writing etc.
The plan would be to have the bottom section done in carbon vinyl wrap (similar to the yellow section on my red car now).Quote:

I like bmw leguna seca blue colour for a nova
I still loved the scheme on your old white yellow grey nova, probably my favorite car, if you could replicate that in negative form would be awesome as in yellow base with carbon back and some white graphics.
And yes your website sorely needs an update, last done in 2003/4? lol
Yea was thinking the liquid yellow as they look nice against carbon like on the megane sports..
love Liquid Yellow, and with the wright bits in black/carbon, the logos/sponsors and website decals would really stand out, maybe get some one to play about with photoshop with colours/layouts
and if you need a hand on updating website side and get rid of them adverts let me know Colin
I would keep it red tbh.
Its a legendary car and people will always remember it as being red
Done a (cr4p) photoshop for ya. Liquid yellowish

The pic doesn't do it justice - it is bright.
(this is my other toy - the ASCAR / Pontiac Grand Prix)
I love the Citrine yellow.

Paul's old turbo was liquid yellow.
JCB yellow? i sprayed my nova Massey Ferguson red :d cheap and easy colour to patch up

Gareth of welsh coast customs was also renault liquid yellow, but with a grey roof, didn't last long so pics might be tricky but it did go to PVS in 08 or 09. It's too late to be figuring out how many times and which years I've been at pvs lol
i always liked boyd coddingtons mellow yellow....

Not sure if your shell has already gone off to 'Paint Strip' to have the paint taken off but I have found another paint stripping service closer to home for you.
It is called 'Pro-Strip' and they are based in Nottingham, might be worth a look. The website is www.prostrip.co.uk
Thanks Rich, that's interesting, I will give them a call and get a price out of interest, I've not heard of them previously.Quote:

They do sound good, but it's very expensive. £725 + VAT to do my shell (compared to £400 at the place in Preston).Quote:

Nice purchase!

Really? I have 'Reverie' and 'Carbon Fibre Seats' in my saved searches on Ebay, and I didn't see those! Were they the head restraint ones like this?Quote:

Just loaded the bodyshell onto the trailer, and it's about to go off to a friend's workshops to have some final bits of welding done on it. Then next week it heads to Preston to be stripped of paint;
