360 Challenge Stradale looks good in Blue with the Italian stripes, 550 should look half decent with the stripe.

i would only go for stickers providing they dont do any damage to the paint.

That's why I'm still only toying with the idea...
the paint guy said it will be fine, but to be honest, I really don't fancy sticking anything on her fresh new paint...
looks like it's decided then...no livery it is :D :D

Stickers are a must!!! I think the single or double stripe like the 16M would look very classy Enzo, possibly race number 88 on the door as well? As long as you take them off with a little bit of heat to soften the glue (though this will be summer so they'll be fine anyway), nothing can go wrong - especially with the painters blessing!

I do remember Loz having a nightmare though after a Bristol meet...

To be Fair Lewis that was only on the plastics , all the main body work was fine , when i took the wide italian stripe off the bumpers it took a small section of the paint off and or caused a small area to bubble , used warm soapy water aswell , explanations ive heard since that the plastic primer that the bumpers were originally sprayed with might have been suspect , just an expensive mistake , cost me £600 to have the bumpers redone , all the decals that were on the surf boards and there were loads all came off easy as peasy so who knows , still toying with the idea of the vitaphone livery havent made me mind up yet probably be spur of the moment thing as its £450 or there abouts ............. but it does look cool just trying to reconcile its only for 3 or 4 months

My stickers will be the yellow fish mouth of the DBR1 and some more yellow striping and piping, race number 59, AMOC and flags etc. I plan on leaving the fish lips on for a while if they look good so need to make sure it's a 2 - piece bonnet job!

Enzo - looks like stickers have been approved ;)

Right then...back to toying with the idea, hehehehe thanks Lewis :D
Guess a bonnet/roof/boot stripe and door numbers cant hurt...
You mention #88...there is also 80, both are square...
I quite like the look of the round 99...what do you think?

Yeah that sounds more like it, dont you want a number that was on an old Ferrari race car instead of the number off the 550 LM??

Could have any number I guess...but having something related to the 550s at Le Mans ties it in nicely :D
