Hi Melvin

Good to see this car getting some love and not disappearing in a parts ad  :)

Can I ask what you painted the cage with ? Is it sprayed or brushed on ?

Thanks
Darren

Option one or option two - I've always liked this car right from the earliest days of O/FF, especially as it complemented the Sachette X/19. Option three seems like changing the car for the sake of it, if that makes sense?


Title: Re: wolfsburg performance (ex dave dinning)
Post by: Good-Old-Ragtop60 on November 08, 2017, 07:25:11 am
In my opinion the second version looks best.
Just because the small black stripes suit the black window surroundings and the wheels, too.
Cool Racer!  8)

Post by: Andy on November 08, 2017, 09:02:43 am
I quite like option three. It darkens it down to match the black wheels. I wouldn't paint the roof black though.

It is a dramatic change to how the car looks and starts to lose the previous identity as Wolfsburg Performance/ Dave Dinning. So it depends how much you want to make it your own .
