I was hoping to keep this quiet until sunday, but the power of scoobynet "was it you" forum scuppered those plans. This morning i had my car signwritten by Graphix Lab in Stockport.

I have had it specially done for Ten Of the Best this Sunday to pay a tribute to Mark Lovell, Roger Freeman and Possum Bourne, who we sadly lost recently.

I will be competing and have been organising the Subaru entry for the event. Ten of the Best

The livery is unusual, in that it is the works colours for the National Prodrive teams as used by Possum and Subaru Rally Team USA, it differs from the SWRT, i thought that was more apropriate. I think it looks really smart.

I changed the bonnet livery to the earlier style pre FMIC as the current one wouldnt cover enough area of the bonnet ahead of the scoop.

I was going to keep it quiet until TOTB, but scoobynet has done that idea in. So you may as well take a look now.





a high res picture can be seen here

Hope you like it.

Nice thought on the doors aswell.

That is really good, usually the decals look to much but these look clean and less clutered.

I like that alot..

Thanks everyone, really pleased with the way the car looks and glad you all like it.

I will keep the livery until Catalunya i think, I hadnt really thought much about after 10 of the best, but the car does look nice, i may change it slightly for Catalunya, i'll have a think about that one.

I'll do my best sunday and see where that takes me.

Looks excellent John!

Respect is due for your In Memoriam on the doors.

Good luck at TOTB2.

The signwriter must really know his business - just look at the finish round the driver's door handle!

Cheers,
Steve

The signwriter was brilliant in every way, met me when agreed, called me if he wasnt 100% certain of something i wanted, took his time over applying everything. It's rare these days to see craftsmanship of this standard, i am very impressed.
