If Carlsberg made V-Storms!!??
Found posted on Pistonheads
"If Carlsberg made V-Storms"
If Carlsberg made a V-Storm I hope it would look better than this. I'm gobsmaked and embarrassed to be associated with the brand. Must be a
publicity stunt. Is there anyone out there who likes this??

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 
For what it is I think there is not very much wrong with it.

unless people are actually getting paid by the companies involved, or is an actual replica of another racing car* then NO! DON'T DO IT, IT LOOKS
STUPID!
*Gulf colours work on GT40s, and porsches, and they do not work on 7's (unless i'm missing a gulf liveried racer from many many years ago,
but i don't think race cars had sponsorships when lotus 7's were new?)
red bull colours work on F1 cars, and, er, audi RS4 maybe? is that a DTM car?
making a replica of an actual classic race car is fine, but don't do it to anything else please.

Can see what they've tried to achieve but not my taste to be honest,
Have seen a lot worse though
As long as the builder is happy, that's all that matters really...

Not my cup of tea but aint that bad. Seen a lot of Rizla 7's which i think are far worse, what exactly are they trying to represent anyway ?
My pet hate is old Scoobys with the rallying livery on them and peoples names on the doors, for me it cant get much worse.

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

seems the general thought is its a sin to cover the car in graphics, but totally acceptable to put a big ass heavy engine up front?
good luck to the guy if hes happy with it!

Am i missing something ?
surely if Carlsberg made V-Storms they would paint it in Carlsberg colours, not bloody red bull !!!!
also sadly not to my taste, nice car ruined by the livery. sorry.
Some people can never handle the truth and always try to shoot the messenger instead of taking an honest look in the mirror (its always easier to
blame another than to face reality), but secretly they wish they could grow a pair and be the messenger !!!

Not a fan of the wheels but i quite like the rest.
I Dont understand other peoples beef with heavily sickered cars. They look track oriented, go fast and probably use alot of the parts advertised on
the side.
Whats the problem with embracing a classic racing colour scheme, BRG got done to death years ago. The modern craze is now stickers and vinal.
Neck on the line here, i like it.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

S'ok, it's done well. It's a matter of taste and I've seen much worse on this forum but gallantry prevents me pointing at
anybody

On reflection its done ok, too many colours for the car, shame its a Redbull Livery, not my thing at all, each to their own. I'm sure once mine
is out there it'll split opinions.

Gotta say I quite like it. I'm not too sure about the spoiler on the back, but we all crave individualism in our cars. There is a case in point.

I like it - I wouldn't do it to my own personal car though. Perhaps he a huge Vettel fan. If it's acceptable to wear a Manchester United
football top I don't see this as much difference.

So who says that wearing a Man United shirt is in any way acceptable?

yes they sponsored superbikes, therefore sticker up your suzuki whatever bike in rizla colours, fine, its a replica, but what are you trying to
represent on a 7? that your 7 is a suzuki superbike? or you're making a replica superbike 7? or you're spondsored by rizla? no, none of
the above

I don't mind the Rizla look, the link being the suzuki hayabusa engined car. Football shirts are ok if gong to a match or watching it down a pub
etc, otherwise the mark of a chav (imo of course)

I must be a nob then cos if I had a corolla with a wrc tte kit it'd be wearing castrol livery!
It's only crap if it's a bad job/replica IMO, and as for the rizzla suzukis, I get it, put a gixxer lump in the car, make it look gixxer
ish, it's a good colour scheme so I don't see the problem.
The same as the car bizzle had (I think) gsxr colours with huge graphics
Was it a gixxer bike? No
Did it look awesome? Yes
