My suggestion for the honda would be white with red honda racing stripes like the old 1960s F1 cars.

eta: i guess it wasn't a stripe:


or how about her! (sorry I mean the colours scheme )



Stripes ahoy!

That car has had more make-overs than Joan Rivers!

Blue, Red, Grey......

I take it that's the end of the MNR RGB entry then? That's a shame.

I think the White S2000 car is an extremely good shout.

no still hope to do some races ( nearest ones to us probably ) all depends on time as saturdays are a really busy day for us so we cant leave until early sunday morning and by the time ive done 70 + hours a week i just have no enthusiam or energy

im just waiting for the new wiring to be done on the switches, the airducts to fit, full setup then it will be ready to race
plus i have an enclosed trailer and a 3 litre diesel bm so i can travel around a bit quicker than in the truck so im more likely to find time

Yep, adobe photoshop, a great tool, and not difficult to learn if you only want to change colours, try things out and add graphics/vents etc.

If I gave it more time it would be a bit neater, but I've got my own business to run!

Could you keep the dot red but change the stripes to black for me? Just think it might add balance!

Hi funnily enough i have an LA race car coming out at Cadwell in a month or so in the exact same colour scheme. Who's been telling .

And i cant be accused of copying as the customer has had all his race cars done in these colours for the last 6 years.

Oh well just dont turn up in the same dress.

Cheers Matt

Ditch the dot though. It looks like a spot for birds to aim for.

I like the black and grey, looks very refined and not so racey. Well smart.

I wanted to go for grey but got the safety vote against me. It being tarmac coloured and all that !! Anyway the body is now audi ibis white so it will easily take on the new "look" I have been thinking of ways to liven up the bodywork so this may be an option. 2 weeks in and we are mounting the bodytub !! I'll post some pics for you all.

Regards

Bob
