That looks fantastic, definitely a contender for 2nd best looking 250 Cup

As long as you're not putting that hideous black and gold cup at Stratton first?

Very cool - Spa is on my bucket list - hope to make it there next year as well.

I was of course referring to my rather lovely Motorsport Green example

Nah, sorry that ones just ahead of @Neal H 

Proper painted callipers would have definitely put it ahead

Stunning it’s in first place for me 🏆

It would need full colour coding to be a contender.

But then it would look like a standard Elise with some aero 😛

True, but anything is better than the nasty matte black 😁

[mdork]

As a Porsche guy I’ve been conditioned that lack of paint means more special.

I’m tempted to Matt black the rear tho. You know like the correct Cup look 😁

[JG220]

I’m tempted to gloss black the rear...

[sjw]

Noooo.... Should be all colour coordinated except aero parts

Says he who can't decide upon a colour

I really don't like the Matt black but agree with some that breaking up a REALLY bright colour helps. So, I'm genuinely thinking of painting the bonnet/boot/back panel in gloss black. I've got as far as getting a quote to do the work and identifying a metallic black that suits the carbon spoiler in all lighting conditions. Now I'm just lacking the bravery to take the last step, mainly worried that it could actually devalue the car
