Im gonna be honest and say i dont like the new graphics, which is a shame as i think the rrest of the car looks so good.

Just dont think its bold enough, the Area 52 logo kinda gets lost in the rest of the car if that makes sense. Dont think im knocking it buddy, im not.

Im just being honest.

I understand frayz, but when the number squares are on along with the other series decals you will why it had to be the way it is.

It was a blinking difficult scheme to come up with, but I love it and I think it looks great without being totally in your face.

Fair enough dude, but seeing as A52 are sponsoring the car i thought the idea was to have it a bit more "in ya face"?

At this stage I'm with Frayz. The Area 52 in fluou yellow (ala WRC cars of old) would have been bob on, but that is only my opinion and we all know what a big girls blouse I am with design and aesthetics. Once fully liveried up I'll have a better idea as I'm sure you know what you're doing.

As i posted earlier, I think it looks great (and I am not a graphics fan).

But Frayz probably has a point. It is maybe more nice, subtle road car graphics, rather than 'loud' sponsor advertising race car :?:

The thing is, it isnt a 'race' car - it will be a Time Attack car for 6 days this year. This is still my everyday run-around and had to fit in with that duty. With the rest on there, it will be plenty obvious and stylish without having to resort to flouro colours to shout at people.

A white or black car would be so much easier to work with ... maybe next year :D

Hmmm, a white car with Flouro colours :idea: :wink:

Nah, way too obvious!

White is so much easier to make work with any colour (even flouros) :lol:

Duncan,

i like it.... i think it looks very stylish and a very profesional looking motor!
I think it will stand out plenty and will probably attract a lot of attention in the pits, where you will get the magazine coveratge which is all so improtant for the sponsors!
