IMHO its not my personal thing, but half the point of building a car is the artistic challenge as well as the mechanical.
Have you thought of describing it as United Colours of Locost rather than Noddy's?
If you like it and its safe then thats all that counts.
This is personal advise or personal opinion.
Constructive comments gratefully recieved, picking is left for noses.

won't comment on the colours. each to their own but don't like the grey at the back - green would be better .
... but asre you 9 ft tall??!?!
those rear hoops are much too tall and aren't braced towards. Should you flip ovber going forwards, being such "long levers", I
would imagine they would be eaiser to bend than shorter ones so may not offer as much protection as you would like.

I have to agree about the roll bars - they look rather odd at that length and need to be shorter.
Also the grey on the rear wheel arches smacks of primer and could be another colour to make it look more 'intentional' They also look
rather high with large gaps above the wheels imo.
Nice looking build in all other respects

Apart from the roll bars, my only comment would be that the rear wheels look lost in the arches - is the back of the car set high at the moment?
Otherwise, it looks very good - technicolour fun!

Roll hoops commendably tall.... however, I would have thought that they need some bracing to be robust enough for their purpose. I think they would
fold over very easily, given the available leverage.

looks good the acwell looks smaller than i thought it was. nice to see someone has more different colours on there car than me. Possibly the rear
arches could have been lower so there was not such a big gap between wheel and arch but that’s being picky. Looks realy good.

Nice build! Can't quite make up my mind about the colour scheme....I think I like it, it's certainly unique.
Change the colour of the rear wheel arches to match the front, lower the roll bars a tad and it'll be great
We'll certaily see you coming!
cheers

I must ad although the multicoloured affect isnt that bad. It is getting a spray job when iv decided what colour.. I was going to add some rear
bracing but couldnt help thinking they were a tad tall.... Ill cut them down i think..
It sits higher than i want it at the min hence the clearance. It will be alot lower than that.

mhhh
the coulours are well new
guess it will be better if you repeat a bit
for example the rear arches same as the fronts and rear to same as bonnet.
then scuttle same as bonnet to..
basicly going back to 3 colours..
also i cant see a reverse light (if you are still zetec 1.8)
Tks
p.d. the rear aches i have them much of the same just flush fitted on the upper side...

The manifold is from fisher sportscars and the can is one of 907's on here. He made me the link pipe between the 2 also.
Although that can is big its not quiet!!
As for the water rail. You dont need one..
