Importing a Car from the US

[Tallman]

Made up some vapour barriers for the doors as the door cards are getting damp.

Sealed some bolts in the scuttle as they were leaking water in to the footwell and tried some stickers out for size. Not convinced yet.

You probably spent a lot of time on the lines, but that does make it more difficult with the stickers. IMO it might look better without, it’s got such beautiful curves by itself - a bit like our GT’s and QPV’s which also don’t benefit much from extra lines etc. It looks a bit crowded, maybe fewer but bigger stickers?

Yep, it’s interesting, I thought it’d look great with some stickers but it doesnt.

Hmm, still not sure

Love the exhaust pipe. I can’t help but think that the stickers detract from the lovely lines, but I understand they make it more like a contemporary race car. Looks ace either way.

I think the line is getting in the way of the logos - personally I don’t think it adds to the car either. Ideally you would want a nice round number on white circle on the door Or some other larger logo and again the line would be in the way. My 0,02

I’ve got to leave room for championship sponsors stickers. There’s two big oblong ones for CSCC. If I don’t like it I can just peel them off.

It’s an awesome car, whatever you do with it.

The pin striping looked great...
..the stickers would look okay without them..
Not both...not unless you get some graphic designer to work something specific. And IMO, its asking alot as they are pretty restrictive.
Its an incongruous mismatch for my money....

I think you’re almost certainly right. I’ve got a long Goodyear sticker somewhere I’ll try on the front wing. If it still doesn’t look right then I’ll take them off.

It’s the exhaust place that did the last one having another go. The original one is on at the moment.

I agree with Tim, although bespoke translucent/shadow graphics might work (not cheap though).

 

[Oneball]

I think it might be the ones at the back of the door that look odd

 

[Ebenezer]

You need stickers that are shaped to fit into the space. But that's probably not an option...

Haven’t picked it up yet so will get the db meter out tomorrow. Going to have to move the diff cooler but there wasn’t anymore room to play with underneath.
