What do people think to this?

Sleeper cars always will be cool, but then again so will race cars

People that have seen Steves thundercorsa (and I mean seen it on the road moving, not in pictures on the internet) will admit how OTT it is but at the same time its immensely cool!

You just cant help but look, that going past you at speed is certainly something you wont forget

Plus if you're after baiting other cars into a race it sometimes helps if your car has "more traditional Corsa styling". Im sure you all understand what I mean by that

Wonder how many people expect it to be a 1.2?

Could still work around the whole Vauxhall/Opel/Holden theme. The Holden race cars look quite well

Few Corsas too

Your thoughts?

I know one of the guys from Scotland has/had a pretty wacky paint job on his toy car? Or if anyone has any other good examples/ideas

Yeah, it wasn't that bad though!

It just looked so over the top & yet it didn't look daft

And it was a bit retro

You don't need the rear window seal. In fact, it has no seals on the rear windows at all at the moment because we couldn't get them on. The windows are sealed on

the money you spend on making it look like that can always be spent on making it go faster, which is kinda the point with a track car imo.

If the theme is consistent throughout the design it could work. The one would be better with comp mos and a few other touches to make it completely motorsport themed.

IIRC, Toyota did a run of Celicas a while back to commemorate rally wins in full WRC livery didnt they?
