Default Need help choosing a colour for our westie

The new Westie is gonna be gel coated, so it gives us quite a limited range of solid colours to choose from.

So far, we've got orange, red or yellow shortlisted. Waddya reckon?

OK you not so northern monkey...

Bright orange is the colour you need, to warn over people that you're driving.

Gotta be Red as we talked about. With some subtle silver "you know what" Graphics just infront of the rear wheels. As for being colour blind, I couldn't possibly comment.

Novas are obviously more aerodynamic down your way

How about dark blue with 2 white stripes then?

Personally I'd go for a black silver combination, but you didn't give that as an option...

Just pleased you've finally got the vehicle to the stage where it needs paint

Thanks Foz

Glad to hear it is still going strong, as well it should given I replaced just about every mechanical bit on the thing Hope he is planning on firming up the rear springs, I left them soft for road use but firmed up the front ones, made it a little tail happy on-track though
