Yellow Stripe
Got my yellow stripe done last weekend, I am very pleased with it. This was the overall classic look I wanted when I first started thinking about
building a kit car.
It seems to set off the green, specially in the sun and also will help other drivers to see me coming in a dark green car.
It was done at my local signwriters place (Roo'd Signs) in Kintore, cost was £80. It happens to be next door to the Luego workshop, I was not
aware that we had a seven kit car company in Scotland, it turns out there is one on my door step!

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

that looks really good. As it was done at a signwriters is it a vinyl graphic or old school signwriters ie paint?
looks the business

It's vinyl, they had to do some jiggery pokery to get round the curves on the front of the nose cone.
I might go back and get the roll bar stripe done, hopefully they will have some offcuts left.

Thats looks really good.
I was thinking of a similar retro look for mine when I finally get hold of the kit and get it built. Good to know there's someone local to get
it done. Just need to decide on a colour scheme then. Kawasaki green body work with black wings so a dark purple maybe.

I am thinking of getting a similar stripe for the passat, maybe not yellow though ;-)
Any suggestion for the colour?

Car lookrs realy good and retro. Just needs a proper windscreen, shell wings and Minilites!
A stripe on the road car would be overdoing it, as is adding a bit to the roll bar IMHO

yellow on the roll bar will look a bit silly...

I agree, don't do the rollbar, that looks really good, are you gonna have your wings green or yellow?

The wings are green, I am waiting for MAC#1 to supply the brackets. I did get them 2 days before SVA, but had to send them back as they were not
powder coated, I chase them most days by telephone, they are mega busy with SVA's right now. I hope is does not delay me getting on the road.
You are right about the roll bar stripe being OTT. And I was not serious about the road car stripe.

Looks like they did a really nice job. Cannot believe you never knew about Luego, thought I had mentioned that they were just up the road from me.
So when you going to be joining us for a blat around Aberdeen
