Thoughts on colour scheme

Nattyboy · 10-Jan-2006, 16:15

Doing a replica track bike of the '97 WSB racer (see attached)...just ordered the fairing, and the guy said (cue harry enfield voice) - you dont wanna red oil catch tray under the fairing, you wanna nice black one - looks much better !!

The reason for having red is a I want to keep it as true as I can to the original..but hes got me thinking - black looks really trick..!!

So..do I keep it red and faithful to the real thing..or black and subtlely different..??

Cheers
Nat

P.S If anyone could use some fancy software and show me what it would look like in black..would really appreciate it !

I like the black BUT I appreciate what you say about it being authentic, so the choice is yours really.
