wrc rally replica build thread
(04-29-2012, 02:22 AM)SL8RZZX3 Wrote: I'd suggest keeping it all WHITE!!!
Maybe with some blue pearl (RS royal blue colour)
And then maybe have the WRC and RS "decals" ghost painted on so it gives a subtle WRC flavor, instead of "heat score" look with the bright decals

Just my .02
And I think it would give it more of a show car look, rather than a WRC replica look

I like the idea of keeping it all white , but if the wing is going to be black you should do the hood vents and roof scoop black too.

What about a custom design? Something rally-ish, but unique? I kind of like the big rear spoiler in black.
Kind of like the Castrol design, but maybe have the pattern going further to the front tires and no logo.
Could put another colour in front.

I've been to a Dodge site before that has quite a few talented photoshoppers. Maybe find a Ford site and
give some inspiring artists some direction and see what they come up with??

wont the fiberglass crack when you put it over the rivets?
Reply
unless you are talking about rivets on jeans that spins, it shouldn't.

and fiberglass wont, body filler alone will.

Would a low expansion foam help adhesion and eliminate flex/cracking?

test fitting spoiler

figuring out other method of mounting spoiler, all suggested to use windshield adhesive but i do not trust adhesive alone
