Question

Having never seen one before i thought i'd take the decals from a pic of Tunnel Meisters lovely motor and add them to mine.

I think they work well, i wouldnt choose these exact decals (if i was to go ahead with it) but it gives an idea of what it would look like.

What do you think? I like it.

Very nice

But just as an idea what about stickering it up in the decals of the day when the Type R was new ?
Could be an interesting reminder of yesteryear ???

No doubting, it really does look sweet.

But, I prefer your car without them Triple X.

One of the nicest cool greys I've seen.

Cheers Talizman

It was after seeing Tunnelmeisters if im honest, never really been keen on the whole graphics thing but seeing one as good as his i wondered what it could look like on mine.
If i do go ahead with it they can always come off so might give it a go and see if i can live with them.

Who 'shopped your car?

If it turns out that good, it may be worth it.

Talizman, if you mean photoshop then that would be me, limited skills but enough to while away a couple of hours. Might do it again but with silver/grey decals instead, if i get the time!

Triple matey...... I had no idea what they looked like
but i guessed someone would...... nice one RB5 !!

If i went for one i would do the top one
What a refreshing change........ nice to see some different designs instead of everyone doing the same thing.
With your scooby being from that era it's got to be worth doing it in the period decals in my mind.

Simb come on matey do yours as well !!!!

Silver, definately worth considering! I might try and photoshop the decals on to see what it would be like, watch this space.
Cheers for your input

Triple X,
this is the version we used for Cat 2002, based on the above 2000 WRC livery, again a few different sponsors. Just to give you an idea of how it looks.



And yes, it's the same car that you saw on Sunday, but this years stickers are much higher quality.

later,

Steve.

I prefer the decals now, the size of the emblem on the above doesnt really look big enough. Did you say Prodrive did the ones you have currently?

No mate. Email me and I'll tell you the details.

BTW, I always wondered what Gold coloured stickers would look like on grey...... especially if they matched the wheels..

cheers
