vibrating_Cake Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 i was thinking.... facelift for the capper, in a year or so its going to become a sole-trackday car... sadly yes . so... i was thinking... seeing as though the car is blue... replicating the mk1 le-mans decals etc, on a mk3.... any opinions on this... i cant decide weather it would work or not..
sambo Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Seen it done before mate. Looks ok, but it just aint the mk1 though! i think there were some pics in retro or classic ford within the last few months?
4parajon Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Something similar here, this is the one that RF featured http://www.turbosport.co.uk/showthread. ... AGE+WHEELS
vibrating_Cake Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Posted July 2, 2009 ahhh i see... doesnt really suit, ta guys!!
andy a Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 Some things are a bit model specific, like the Cologne paint job, although no doubt others disagree, imo it would be a bit of a sin to replicate on a Mk3, although not as bad as the shelby striped polo thats driving around locally
sambo Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 TBH i think it does look good. It just looks better on the MK1. If the mk1 was never in those colours and someone decided to paint a mk3 like that then it would be a benchmark car i reckon!!
caprinerd Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 same opinion wobbly some models can carry it off but to me the mk3 dont do it justice mate andy i have a polo running through here with the strip thing and if by chance it is the same one i think the guy needs to take driving lessons again as he cant drive the thing and tbh round here people laugh at it
emu Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 I think if the lines of the paintjob was copied from the mk1 onto a mk3 (with, perhaps mk2 x-pack arches) then it would work just fine. However, personally im not keen on that example mk3. I think that is because the placing of the colour join seems to break the side of the car up in the wrong place. Just My opinion though

Just My opinion though yeah it looks too high, if it was halfway down the door rather than on the fold it'd probably be better.... shame.... here comes photoshop again
