Arctic Warpaint ftw!
Have you thought about Pseudo Ferrari Military/Navy insignia?

Was this always your plan or did you take the wrong medication one day?

Hahahh cheers guys, was expecting a more negative reaction to be honest.

I though of it a while ago and only got around to it just yesterday - main reason why i got my arse into gear was because i wanted to stand out when i enter my first drift comp on the 17th of march. (points based comp so no battles) which is a sat nite.

And the old paint was looking quite worse for wear! :mrgreen:
It should be getting the clear coat on wed or at the latest next sunday.

Thanks guys!!
Dave

Just out of intrest dave where do you drive? cause you wouldn't have to go to that extreme to blend in in cleveland! :P

Looks good though! i think you need some rocket launchers painted on the side!
and some machine gun holes out the front!

That's what you get when you invite some mates around and give them too much beer!
You can almost tell what they were eating before they had too much beer.
I'd change the brand of beer next time too.
What do you reckon Hughness?

Oh well, I guess you can invite them all around again to get it back to just the one colour :roll:

Tell them not to bring their own paint next time.

Maybe it's one of them newfangled aqua cars that can drive on land and water? :P

Quality of workmanship looks the goods, although I don't agree on the colours/patterns.
