Hi Guys,

I quite like the pearl white of the K but it is a bit, well, pale! So I figured I'd add a bit of colour.

Got the M Sport colours of Ebay - they come as three pieces of thin tape and I found cuttiung and fitting to the right length a bit tricky as you can see - the top should have come to the coach line but I was a bit short! Anyway you get the idea, I will probably have another go to make the shape better. That said I really like the look.

Cheers
Dave

I've owned a pearl-white RS in the past. I think what you've done is beautiful. Seriously: good job!

That's nice Dave. The 'motorsport' colours are the most unlikly combination, but somehow they do work.

It's tempting Inge but when do you get into badging up a sheep in wolfs clothing? Maybe I should wait until I fit a turbo before adding the full badging! LOL. It would look good though...... Very Happy

Cheers
Dave

You mean something like this, Dave?

I understand that the original basis was a K100.

That's an awesome beast Paul! Interesting he's gone for a rotary.

Second attempt (and final I've run out of tape!). Would have liked to bring the colours all the way down but the curves got too tricky.

Cheers
Dave

Thanks mate.

I used the rest of the tape putting flashes on the side panels. That was the fun bit now I need to fix the ABS and change the oil/water pump seals etc! Adding a splash of colour 8157
