Its supposed to be a bit of a nod towards the Lotus Cortina, the lady of the house says it looks like baby sh... I reckon with some door circles and the odd Castrol sticker and it should like quite retro. We will see, al long way to got yet before the paint goes on. |

Pin stripe the outer edge of the main stripes with gold, and tie it in with some nice Gold Mambas and a green and gold side sill stripe.

...and change the stripe to red/blue?  One of the guys on the MK1 forum posted a doctored photo with the whole back end panel around the rear lights and number plate in green that looked good, wouldn't work with a stripe though, he also coloured the nose up which looked ok. Will keep playing in photoshop. |

no that wouldn't look right red and blue...YUK! How about run the stripes around the front rad opening ala 60's racecars? Or You could always do a racecar replica, purple on top fading to a lighter silver at the sill level... front panel in silver and the rear panel in silver?.... |

How much? .............Its a really good book but.........must look out my copy as a potential pension supplement. Just goes to show that with limited print run books such as this you have got to buy when its published. I have seen copies at Mini shows much cheaper so hopefully you'll find a reasonable copy at the NEC Andy. Steve |
