Well... Having seen some R300 race cars (and the R600 test car images on the net) having an enormous triple stripe on the rear of the car - I really wanted to add this to my car as I think it looks awesome! I was going to do this when I initially had the car painted, but wasn't sure what the regulations would say regarding the rear decal and so on, so waited until I knew 100%... The decals and fitting schematics have now been handed out, so I've ordered some yellow and blue decals match (obviously)!
...So on Tuesday this week it was the cars first drive on the roads - to Daytona Coachworx - my 'favourite' bodyshop! I just hope the car won't be in there too much throughout this year ☺

The car was then fully masked and the blue paint prepped for the stripes to be masked.

These were the initial stripe masking lines Dave laid up, but he wasn't happy with them so asked me to pop down.

We ended up deciding on the main centre stripe going to the inside edge of the rear roll cage bars, a blue stripe on both sides of 25mm, then a 50mm yellow stripe, again on both sides.
