I like it but then I'm a smoker (though I fecking hate Marlboro's). Would I do it to my car? Maybe but it would only be for a run down the LM24.

I really can't see TDO's being too bothered about it - ffs why should they, unless it's a sponsored event? My only comment on the design is the door decal, maybe position towards the lower rear of the door.

2nd thoughts make the side decal bigger so it covers the vent/door/front clam if you know what i mean. As it stands it looks a bit lost. Can't see Gold track turning you down tbh.

No thinking... Looks sh** with white wheels, but fantastic with black.

My opinion only.

The Marlboro colours look great, but replace the Marlboro logo with "SMOKING KILLS" in a square black frame. B)

I did mark many versions, with black rims (looked best) and did suggest other logos and am happy to do any other versions you want Mark. Martin s ps I liked Alitalia style patterns but do think the marlboro paint job will look great.

what other designs have you considered?


Camel, Benson & Hedges, Silk Cut and John Player Special :lol:

GLOL



I like the idea of doing a new and different wrap on the car, but i also don't like the cigarette branding thumbsdown
anything that wasn't related to those horrible fags!

what other designs have you considered?


It has been suggested that instead of "marlboro" I have bar codes

Bar codes are good - same as in F1 etc thumbsup
Like the toy car that was posted

What about "SMOKING SKILLS". Might be setting yourself up for a fall if you make a mistake on track though :lol:

Is the marlboro a done decision, or are you open for others?
Is a JPS spin off too much of a kneefall to lotus, as with black rims your car would look the tits B)

Love both tbh. Green looks amazing, and I like the red and white. (including the wheels).

Not sure on the brand name on the side of the car though, but not sure what you'd write instead.


Fag(s) :lol:


Reminds me of the day glow orange and white of ayrton senna. I dont mind the marlboro writing. Who smokes nowadays anyways. So 90's :)


Still a bit undecided on whether to have red or dayglo orange a la Yamaha 1980's


Go for red... i hear someone else is having some dayglo orange put on their Vx tomorrow... :D

So after 3 weeks of prep work the wrapping started this morning early at BoT, by the time I turned up around 1pm it was nearly all white. They finished wrapping at around 5pm and Jez and I worked 'til about 8pm fitting it back up and the result is below. To say I am pleased with how it's turned out is an understatement!!!
