Looks great, looks like they have done a great job is it all vinyl? Such a great looking car the V6 both Ph1 & Ph2
PH1 V6
Actually agree with you on that.
Was never 100% on the spoiler and when the mounting points broke I wasn't overly disappointed....the decals were fine at first but the more I looked at them, the more they seemed a bit half arsed.
Thought that if you're going to do it, go in both feet first

Beautiful, my sort of car.

It did look a bit 'Old man went crazy in Halfords' before but now it looks purposeful and damn mean!
A nice number plate would finish it off in my opinion. Or at least a smaller plate on the front.

And they say......
"Oh, I could never retire, me. I'd be bored"
"I'd miss working too much"
"That would mean spending more time with the missus"
"There are only so many golf courses you can go to"
I look at pics like that above and question just how deluded some people actually get. I would rather take a clapped-out Focus to Morrisons for shopping, rather than be in work. The fact that you can do the above is just epic and not be one of those people with ample money, that seemingly appear hell-bent on working until they are pushing up daisies.
What a waste of a retirement.

Simply because I fancied it and have no intentions of it being removed.
Had an idea I'd be happy with the look of it but, it's gone way past my expectations on it.
Appreciate it might not be to everyones taste, it isn't everyones car though

Anything prior was sort of nibbling at the edges, ended up thinking if you're going to do it, do it properly.....so, did it properly
VRN has been thought about, ended up deciding to keep the original.
PH1 V6
That's just epic!
Needs some hardcore seats now to finish the look
Nah, these are staying
PS..lap straps are now through the holes in the seat bolsters.

May make the Saturday.
It came out really nice, you can see where the Catalunya Trophy influences are in the design but the way you have subtly changed some of the lines work well. Any particular reason you went with the Absinthe sponsor? I wouldn’t be surprised if the designers had been at the stuff when they first dreamt up the concept haha. ?
Unfortunately there isn’t much point fitting a smaller front plate on the v6 as unlike on the 172/182 the bodywork behind it exactly follows the shape of the full size ones.

Looking forward to seeing this flying around the village.

The decals were thought about for around 5 or 6 weeks.
The idea was to have a few that stood out balanced by a few more subtle coloured ones. Fonts and colours were also looked at.
Thought the idea of a French drinks company as the main decal would suit a French car, the Pernod logo was chosen as the font and colours suited, also the crest would give it some depth. The Absinthe logo was on some of the ones found on google, liked it so had it.
All ideas were ran by the guy who details the car as he has a great eye for design and layout plus, he's good on Photoshop so we played about with sizes and spacings.
One of the main driving forces was to get it right first time as the amount it all cost wasn't the smallest.
He applied them all over 2 days, I made the coffees

Thanks mate,
The spoiler is buried somewhere in a Derbyshire tip.

It will soon have a Trophy spoiler back on.
I wasn't going to bother but then found out I could get a proper mounting base for one!
The base and the spoiler are currently being fitted to each other, then they'll be bonded together. It'll then go off to Blueprint to be wrapped and will eventually make its way on to the car.
