Thanks mate, I think you are probably right
I'm looking for some way of making the exterior 'stand out' a bit, much though I like the grey and black theme I think its been done to death now. Any ideas anyone ? |

Do a leather bonnet or roof like the vinyl roof you used to find on your Ford Capri back in the 70's and don't forget the orange stitching

Thanks for the suggestions
I don't think leather externally would be terribly practical Not sure what I'm after really but I think perhaps painting random bits orange is not the way forward .... Any other suggestions ? |

Personally I think it needs a nicely done FCX logo on the front doors, in a fairly dark Orange

On a more serious note, some vinyl logos(sorry if you have them allready, my phone doesn't show the pictures) along the lines of those big compass logos, just a shade off the body colour a bit like the 60th stickers

Why don't you do an orange racing stripe up the front and over the top? An engine to TDi for!

That'll be the problem, especially around your area! I have heard of one dodgy company round by you, so best to steer clear! An engine to TDi for! "Land Rover- Proudly turning drivers into mechanics since 1948" |

Matt, can't you just emulate the sign writing on your competition truck, but in a dark orange? I thought that looked good. 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green
