I thought you were pulling my leg when you mentioned Gulf colours last week.

Hoping to visit the NEC next weekend, looking forward to seeing the car in the flesh.

 

looking sweet there matey

 

am liking the satin finish =) will there be a clear coat goin on ?

 

Yep just clearcoating it as we speak, well i've just put the first coat on and another 2 or 3 to go

 

Nice work Redevil

 

Hmm what would have been more awesome would be to use the McLaren F1 GTR version, the dark blue.

 

Well you never know Andy, Rodders might like this one that much he will have his own race car done in them colours

 

I think it would work better on a Mk3.5, you know with the more aggressive front styling

 

You bothered prepping Rodders car ?

Have you seen how he drives ?

 

Don't worry i bought the paint in bulk knowing whats going to happen

 

Loving the teasers!

I'd have gone barbie pink or something for shits and giggles - payment upfront, right?

Get a "Max5 championship winner 2010" decal made up for it too

 

Well i've just finished the clearcoat and now its baking off so i can flat and polish it

Bumpers and doors going in next and all should be built up for sunday ready for all graphics going on on tuesday ready for the weekend

Let me know your thoughts guys and girls

 

Stunning imho, really fresh and different.

 

Foooookin hell that is awesome!

Interested to see how your gonna do the front bumper, will the orange open out and cover the bottom in true Gulf stylie?

 

Of course phil bumpers are up next so pics will be on either later today or tomorrow

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

1 - it's not a porsche 917
2 - paul isn't a try hard wannabe racer

sorry, i don't like.

finish looks top notch, as always, though

 

Its not Pauls car Tom.. unless he's swapping cars?

 

true, but you know what i mean....

it's not a club racer colour scheme, though obviously i can see it appeals to many

 

I really like it...Bit different from the norm!!!

 

It might not be to everyones taste but it will look different again once its all built up with the spare set of alloys in orange as well

 

Thats looking mighty cool! I love the Gulf colours.

 

i think its spot on - i've just spent the morning with paul getting my federals on, he has no idea what hes going get

 

Looks good Dave, got me thinking about mine now, seeing as it needs a splash of paint anyway! Have you got that diff fitted yet, its time we turned the boost up!

 

Yours always needs a splash of paint

not got diff fitted yet but its the next job on the list.

 

I do like that colour scheme - a lot. But... it's sooooooo cliched these days I'd feel embarrassed in it unless it was a 917.

Sorry, but "no" I'm afraid

 

Orange allots will set it off right I recon!

 

allots

you on your iphone again jon

 

id love to paint my car that blue

 

Rodders car has lots of paint samples on the front bumper corners

 

Lovely colour

What blue is it? Reminds me of my old MGB colour.

 

Its actually called porsche gulf blue code 328

 

Gulf colours ALWAYS look awesome. People who think otherwise should check their ovaries!

 

just checked. still not present.

how are yours?

 

Just sitting down now to have my dinner then the masking is coming off so i can clearcoat it, more pics to come. Rodders is taking this to the Autosports show at the NEC in Birmingham next weekend if anyone is going keep an eye out for it

I'll make a note to bring my sunglasses with me.

 

omg i so love the orange
