My car already has stripes - a bit more subtle than the full Martini set (mine are based upon the Tag Heuer Monaco watch). So a red set MAY have been an option for me - but for now I'll stick to satin black.

Nice mate. If you want to change it up, I would go bronze or white for you car. Do you have a side shot of your car, ill photoshop the wheels if you want.

I'm happy with satin black

If I get a second set to run Trofeo's on I might try a different color then. But that's a while off since my current set of 20" Trofeo's are still quite new and I have a brand new untouched set sitting in the garage too.

Charlie your car looks amazing with the martini stripes on it and the red wheels really suit it. Looks stunning!

Cheers

Thanks Chris. Really turned out great on the white car. Just need to stop taking photos and get it back on the track. Really looking forward to Wakefield on Saturday.

Should be a good day but cold. Small chance of rain but hopefully that stays away.

Absolutely - but my concern is the hub then carries no load from the wheel, that all falls on the bolts?

Agree. That livery design is fantastic. Charlie did you design it yourself?

BTW - how are the headers going?

Thanks mate. I didn't design it myself. It is what I wanted, as I didn't really like the look of the side stripe which just goes down the side and stops at the wheel arch. Found these guys - https://magnagrafik.com/

They had done another GT4 with these but we changed it a little. It had a racing number on the hood instead of the Martini logo, plus alot of other little stickers. I also added the side decals on the wing and the Martini stripe over the center of the wing. Side stripe and Martini door logo is the same (the other cars logo was further to the rear of the door, mine is centered as he had a number with it)

And then got them installed locally. I added the tow stickers myself. lol.

The headers are awesome mate, love the sound. Couldn't imagine the car without them now.

Yes it was me (I actually won Class A outright too) and absolutely I'll be back at Bathurst again. Mark and Tim are both coming too so that's 3x GT4's that will be there.

I just also ordered a Guards LSD so now I have to aim for a sub 2:25 this year (presuming I get it in time). I'm also going to go and see my cage fabrication guy about getting some some custom uprights done. They may be of interest to people if I can get them done how I want so I will post up the details afterwards.
