Yeah they're not "Omg that is so fugly" more "Haaahahahaha you ruined your car!"

Which reminds me anyone remember those "twin headlight conversions" that involved cutting two circles in some sticky back plastic?

I remember those headlights! they also went really well with the "rattlesnake" strap on wide arch kit for the escort. even better in cabrio form

1x Wheel + tyre probably costs the same as a decent Caterham.


Peteff - 2/1/10 at 11:59 PM

Gulf Reliant one make series, what warped mind thought that one up ?


blakep82 - 3/1/10 at 10:57 AM

its only good on a race car, actually being sponsored by Gulf, so leave it alone


scootz - 3/1/10 at 11:17 AM

For me the Gulf colours significantly enhance every car pictured on this thread!

The world needs MORE Gulf racing colours to make it a better place!


indykid - 3/1/10 at 11:44 AM

finally! people realise gulf colours look crap when they're not on a porsche 917 or a gt40.

like big wing on pylons on family saloons

good work gentlemen

exactly! a car that ACTUALLY raced in gulf colours.
i can't find anything about a gulf sposored lotus 7 anywhere, so painting a 7 replica car in gulf colours is like painting any other car in gulf colours. including any of the cars linked in this thread


daniel mason - 3/1/10 at 12:36 PM

its only a colour scheme. i like mine and think it looks as good as any out there.

Does anyone have a Lotus 7 on this site... or are they just copying it!?

The Gulf Racing Livery is COOL... end of!

I think it's an awesome paint scheme on 7's and similar cars. If it was done in some horrible flip candy paint then I could certainly compare it to fitting huge spoilers, but the proper colours look great.

Totally awesome! Love the hubcaps.


Ninehigh - 10/1/10 at 07:18 PM

I'm going to have to go another way, maybe Kawasaki or Red Bull colours...


matt_gsxr - 12/1/10 at 09:56 PM

I think the colours look good ;-)

To answer the question. Lots of different colour combinations come under the umbrella of "gulf livery".

The recent Aston Martin variant is very different (for example).

GT40 gulf liveried

Searching will find lots of different colour names.

[edit] my car is less red than this in real life
