Vinyls!!!

Post by Stuntman »

Ok, I got really bored today and wandered off to my local vehicle sign writing shop, where i spent £15 on a load of vinyl and application tape and recieved a load of off cuts thrown in :D

This is what I've come up with for the 240, I'm after a reverse colour scheme thats on my avatar, but here the first number plate

So whats the view? Only V3M members will understand the significance of the V3M initials and if no-one minds It will be used else where as well.
Erm, I've lost my keys again...

haha, cheers dude, I did wonder, but thought better safe than sorry, I draw enough attention from the local plod as it is, so why not a little more eh?

When the 2.3 and manual go in with the elusive LSD then fun should be had, I'll keep posting pics of each one I finish before it goes on and then when I'm happy with it I'll post the final picture.

Haha :lol: Very true, however my home is now the V3M forum, the only real difference between our cars is the shape, after all both are RWD and most of the equipment swaps over (trip computer one day!) I know other people will find huge differences but thats how I'm loking at it. :P

Here are the final door numbers and the smaller bonnet number

I'm just putting a white solid section up the bonnet and fading it out, I will also be taking off the bumper and spraying the bumper and lights in white, when dried and laquered then pirrelli logos will go on

It was funny when he came up and said never to let women drive your car as his wife reversed into a bollard. It could have just been an excuse for his broken bumper :)

Haha, no I'll try not to, but I am also looking at lowering to the floor, reinstalling the double rear sway bar, roll cage, huge bonnet vents, body kit arch extensions etc, But I'll try to keep the vinyls tasteful :P
