Bodywork Design Poll

I am trying to decide in which way to livery my car. Top pic has identical bodywork to mine.
Second pic is a Lancia LC2 in Martini livery (my current favourite)
The third pic is the classic Gulf duck egg blue and orange.

What are you thoughts? Any other suggestions?.

How about the Gulf colours in the Martini design i.e. two orange stripes, one on each wing - the bodywork would suit that well...

I like the martini one, but will "martini" fit on the side of your car in a decent size font with the scoops there?

Its one of the main features of the design, be a shame for it to be comprimised.

I like the gulf colors but more like the GT40 style.

It is a close one between the Martini and Gulf, but i think it will have to the Gulf sceme.

I think my favourite at the moment is the martini, I love the gulf but the martini is a little more unusual.

For such a very cool looking car, I'd go with something original. I like the green and black myself.

I on the other hand, am doing my 7 in orange/white R500 colours. How was I supposed to know it would be on every single 7 themed site when it came out!?

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

Go for the Martini livery Like Steve says, there's already too many Gulf copies out there IMO.

I just used Photo shop and selected the car body with the selection tool then created another layer and coloured the selection blue colour and changed the blend mode to hue, I then selected the areas where I wanted to orange did the same again.
