dilley - 3/5/06 at 09:20 PM

Having been at stoneleigh all weekend I saw some very well built and well finished indys, mine was the one with the bright orange nose and front arches, I need to do alot of upgrading to bring the car up to scratch, ive bought some 17" alloys, and will have a stainless exhaust made, the problem is I dont know if I should keep with the orange front end or not, the other option is to go back to black or maybe gunmetal grey, also im going to re powdercoat front arms and wing stays, what colour?? black, silver, grey to match nose cone??? im really stuck so please be honest!!!!

great show, great cars, you should all be very proud, mk had some off the best cars on show.

Ive had them for a while but dont like the way the car handles, ill only use them for shows and posing. 13"/14" for track.

Another option would be to change the rest of the bodywork to that bright orange colour. It would cetainly be distinctive.

I saw your car at the weekend and thought the colour scheme was spot on and individual, in my opinion these 7 type cars are starting to look very samey so a brake from the norm gets my thumbs up! How about a black Caterham band around the nose cone and a set of carbon wings!
I’d go for black or dark grey wishbones!
