I'm not going full Kremer decals (not just yet ) it will be a slightly more subtle look to start.

Re: Bumble bee
Here lies my inspiration for front indicator treatment. I was going for the R style side lamps but in the end modified the bowls so that the side light now resides in there.Highfield wrote:Is that the honeycomb by the indicator lens ?

yes, I based the look on the Kremer Recreation at Le Mans by Sprintline (the car that started it all)ronwhitbread wrote:I like the look of the wheels what's the finish, are they painted ?
They use the finish a lot on their cars
and yes, painted and baked during stages. I'll probably also run without centre caps.
