adamnreeves Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I am building a yellow and black one. I think it looks good and going for black rather than chrome is more practical and cheaper. I think it also depends if you want to build a pure track car or tourer. I think track is good in bright colours but I think tourer would look good in dark blue because then you can have a light tan (leather) interior and all the chrome bits and the contrast is sublime.. I agree with you that using the color change does not do any colour the complete justice it deserves but likewise with photographs also. See an actual car in 3D makes all the difference, if you are not a WSCC member yet, join up and go to some meetings and have a look at other peoples cars. You could order the bodywork afterwards and start building the rolling chassis until you decide. I wish I realized when I ordered mine that I could defer delivery of the GRP.

Wayne Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I Built a Yellow one based on the opinion that it is very visible to other drivers on the road. This is what finally made my mind up, but personally I think the Post Office Red ones look absolutely stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dern Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thnat tyre rack is a good idea and I reckon somebody with a bit of welding nouse could make a few bob on them That's fantastic... I have some box section, a welder and some nouse in the garage. Where are the green brackets from? Mark PS... black (obviously) but I liked the colour of my old car... ...didn't like the big lights though, it was like driving Mickey Mouse about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 [thread drift] Hey Dern. What happened to your posting about wheels and tyre sizes? I'd just finished a superb response when it went AWOL, and I can't find it now. Did you remove it? [/thread drift] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Navin Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 It has to be red, but I might be biased Just don't go for biege, sorry Ivory Sits back and waits for Rob Navin and / or Barney to bite I have to agree with Jak. Go for a common colour like red, don't go for Ivory, its getting FAR to popular Not sure if that's a bite or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dern Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 [thread drift] Hey Dern. What happened to your posting about wheels and tyre sizes? I'd just finished a superb response when it went AWOL, and I can't find it now. Did you remove it? [/thread drift] Oops, sorry. I did remove it basically because after all that waffle and brain dump I realised that the 15" wheels may only just clear my brakes so I thought that I'd wander off and check before wasting anyones time... it would appear that I realised this too late. Sorry once again, Mark PS. If you still have the response I could craft an appropriate question and stick it in the faqs and it may be useful for my locost build.
