What's that colour? Very unusual, is it just made up?

williammcloughlin · #**122** 3rd July 2012, 14:00

Hello Gary,

Its a colour i saw on a old race ferrari and i thought it worked for the look i am going for. Seanicks colour is great its a very period colour. I am waiting for the stickers to arrive. I am putting some vintage le man type stickers here and there and also alittle advertising for my business with some website graphics here and there.

Nice grill Billy. What do you call it....Rabbit shredder? :-)
Chris, do you do photoshop lessons? The only way I can do this is to print it then draw in the bits by hand (badly!).

williammcloughlin · #**132** 5th July 2012, 20:32

Ha Ha, yes its prettry sharp as i made it out of a offcut of 2mm alloy sheet, so with the edges rounded it is sharp. I will get it welded up and bolted on tom evening.

williammcloughlin · #**133** 5th July 2012, 20:35

Oh and a word of warning, Fit your headling to the shell before fitting. Fitting the leather to the inside of the roof around the snug roll cage was a task.

Nick, how many hours do you have? It's the only enjoyable part of my Graphic Design past.

Hi guys, new member Griffj here (jason) TOTALLY love this kit, the Mx250 is totally inspired and a beautiful design, iv been following this thread for a while now and thought i would join the forum to gain a bit more from your posts.
i was planning to build a Forza Italia, but after seeing this iv totally changed my mind, As soon as i can afford it i'll be getting hold of a Mk2 and coming after you for the wide arch kit for the same.
Keep up the excellent work, and i look forward to Reading more about this fantastic kit.

Tribute Automotive · #**136** 6th July 2012, 20:30

Hi Jason.

Welcome to the Forum

Glad to hear that you have swayed in our direction, was it the roof?

We are moulding the wide arches as an add-on to the kit next week and will post some pictures.

Keep watching and please feel free to comment and ask questions, it's all good.

Regards Chris

Morning Chris,
It wasnt the Mx250's roof, it was the whole look of the car, i really liked the Forza Italia, but allways thought it never looked quite right, but couldnt put my finger on what was needed to change it.

I just like the whole package with the Mx250, it just works, plain & simple. Really hope i can get one soon, been promising myself a big boys toy now for about 10 years, just got to move house first to release some equity, then its all mine.
keep up the excellent work.

seanick · #**138** 7th July 2012, 21:29

For me the roof was a big plus. All this global warming is regulary soaking my interior !

williammcloughlin · #**139** 8th July 2012, 08:08

Revised grill (Lowered the slats as when fitted to the car it looks much better.
