    Agreed, the costs of damage repair and the complication of a pearl finish are the major things putting me off.

    The other big tempter is a bit of retro, in the form of the Bernard Munster Corsa A/Bruno Thiry works-spec. rally cars from the early 90's;

    I love the 3 stripe irmscher look, but it would be a sod to get right over those arches, but that cally does look nice..

    You could do some 'secondhand nova bits' stickers for each flank in the style of the opel ones....

    I think my wide arch Nova would look great in that colour scheme, although it would mean painting the carbon bonnet white to get the full effect.

    This is a tough decision to make.........blue, green, yellow, white, multicoloured..........

    I've acquired this rather super little carbon fibre housing, apparently it's from an F1 car, but it will make a perfect console to house my switches and circuit breakers;







    The white paper on top is just my template for the piece of carbon I'll cut out to make the top panel. I guess it had one once, but it's now AWOL......

    do it white as thats direct gloss, you dont want to have to put a base coat then lacquer, will weigh to much.
