What colour wrap?
Ok so after 8 months and nearly 3000 miles I have given up on trying to keep the aluminium body panels clean. The slightest touch scratches them, the
slightest touch leaves oily prints and although I thought I would like the "used" look I'm fed up!!
So I am already planning this winters mods. Vinyl wrap. But the million dollar question is what colour? I do not want to change the colour of the nose
cone and front wings, along with the out part of the rear wings, which are orange.
So, what colour goes well with orange?
This is how she is at the moment

So over to the collective for suggestions, all types welcome. The mrs has suggested a bright green, but Im not sure on that!

Get a decent metal polish !! Kalifornia Customs Original Purple Polish beats everything else I've tried, easy to use and gives a brilliant
shine which seems to give the metal protection.
Is it possible to get clear wrap.

If you liked the ali look go for an ali or silver colour wrap
It may sound a dumb Question to you but to others it may be an eureka moment

Black or anthracite is pretty much your only option IMO.
Most colours will clash, white just looks unfinished, chome looks to bling.
Maybe Gulf Blue id you can add some stripes to other parts.

That's the combination I've gone for!
It's certainly "different"
Got the idea from Gearlink Kawasaki...

Got my Purple Polish from Stoneleigh several years ago but haven't managed to find any in the UK . I did get it touch with Kalifornia Customs
possibly with an idea of importing some . They do have an agent in Spain . There was some on eBay from the states so if I get stuck that's
probably where I will get some .
