Default 944 S2 Martini wrap?

I'm getting close (maybe too close) to finishing mechanical work on a deep restoration of my '89 S2, which was selected purposely (among other things of course) because it was originally Alpine White.

My plan for the car is to dress it out in Martini Racing livery. Is there anyone out there that does Martini wraps for these cars? Experiences and recommendations welcome. I'm in Central California (San Luis Obispo County) but I can work with folks in the general area based on reputation.

Thanks,
Scott.

Sorry I can't help with recommendations, but I saw this gt3 in Hong Kong and it was beautiful

Yep, that's what I'm looking for. There has to be someone that makes those.

On google, type in "dcoupesigns" pics and you'll see the examples of what this UK company sells. That is also their ebay member name. I bought the entire package for my white 951 and it's quality graphics. They also have two versions of the side graphics. See the pics to decide. I can't wait for my repaint to install them.

Thanks, I'll give them a call. I wouldn't have found them just looking for Martini art, sounds like they could do it but I don't want to pay for development of the art, I was mostly interested in finding a company that already had it and was reproducing it? Amortizing the development over several customers.

Looks like they don't have an eMail contact so I'll have to figure out how to call Britain during business hours from California. Last time I did that I think I needed to be awake at 2am local time...

OK, sorry, I went to their website before visiting eBay. Looks exactly like what I want.

I just figured their main presence would be their own website. Forgive me, I'm obviously too old...

Thanks,
Scott.

I've saved a couple pages for future use. Can't give any reviews on the following links but these may be useful if you want to add anything else to the car:

I was confused by the 944 ad on eBay, it looked like a 924 GTP but the ad reads 944. I asked them to clarify.

Thanks all,

Scott.

They have a plethora of options for the 944. I've talked to them online and they're real friendly and helpful.

Thanks for the reference. I've sent them eMail over the ebay connection, looks like exactly what I wanted.

Regards,
Scott.

Here is first rendering of what my SP1 will look like when it's done.

That actually looks pretty good. There's been lots of Martini liveries on Porsches over the years so worth a good search on Google images to make sure you get it exactly how you want it. The '73 RSR and '70 917 wore it best IMO, especially being silver with the orange/red nose.. In terms of white cars wearing those colours, I think the '71 917 does it better than anything else.

I've always stuck on white myself, I think it looks the best and that '71 917 only underlines my point Thanks for he images...
