Perhaps do the ///M strip over the front left corner as this one is. (none of the other stuff on this car though, too busy and hard to reproduce!)

The busy background would be easy to blend back in if you take some dents and dinks. That car is kind of cool. I actually dislike a "busy" design but that one takes it beyond so that the 'busy' becomes solid. You could make UnOfBMW strong within its own field set amidst a busy background on white. |

Dale,
I'm interested in the conversion box/MAS set-up you're using. If you don't mind, what brand are they, or where can I find some information on them. I've been wanting to change over to a MAS system for a while.
Thanks,

I don't know the name...but mine is for sale, including the fresh E36 325i fuel injectors that you need to take advantage of it.
Interested? It's only been used in about 3 races. send me email if you want to chat further about it
I'll take a pic and post it in a little while.

I think stripes up the hood and across the roof /trunk would look cool.
Follow the v of the hood up from the kidneys, really wide in the back. Paint the kidneys to match the stripes.
Any color combo could work. |

Guys,
Thanks for all the input and feedback. Right now I think I'll be going with the 'Castrol' style one as shown in the very first posting.
Anyone have ideas on how to replace the Castrol with 'UnofficialBMW.com' ?
It's a much longer name, needs a wrap probably on the side...
Perhaps put it all the way up above the door handle on the side?

C'mon be proud - show it loud. Make it stand out (large letterings).
Visit CafeExpress.com and setup shop - sell shirts, mugs, etc. It'll help offset the cost for repainting and keeping this forum up.

Hey Dale,
I've done this one several times. It's funny too, each time after dinking with it for an hour or two, I've just closed down without saving. It just refuses to look anything like it would in real life unless I blur it or make it the size of a matchbox car. I haven't given up though. Patience is a virtue.

Bill,
Would it help if I took a direct side-shot and direct front and rear shots and posted those pics? Thanks man!
JRS: I was just thinking about Unofficialbmw.com Tshirts. Let's chat about that over in the Lounge.
