View Full Version : Two-colour look?
elisemk1 01-21-2003, 07:51 AM The RX-8 have IMHO more than a hint of the good old Lotus Seven in his lines...and a look in two colours would highlight this.
I've tried it with a pencil, but maybe there's somebody out there who can do that much better in silver/dark titanium...

Pandas aren't bears.... :o :D
ricdanger 01-21-2003, 04:34 PM Nor are koalas, which leads to the next question...
"How much can a koala bear???"

zoom44 01-21-2003, 07:48 PM can any one give me some flames please. well not me:p on the car ! i'd like to see a silver car with some blueish (like alcohol burning)flames like someone hit the front with a molotov cocktail and the flames are licking around the sides and up over the roof.
flames that are sort of ghosty transparent. please?:cool:

Thanks B-Nez, great pictures. It would be great if you could make a silver one with titanium wheelarches...
Many thanks from Germany...

Good to know I wasn't the only one to notice the resemblance in the RX-8's schnoz. :)
Mazda man 01-22-2003, 07:19 AM I also thought the 8 would look cool with a two tone paint effect. Nice job with the flames!:D
If you're still doing those B-Nez (excellent job by the way), could you do me a Yellow/black one, as such a car would probably go really well with the other two in my garage which are also yellow & black.
(A 2001 MX-5 California and a 1973 Ford Capri GXL with black vinyl roof if anyone cares.)

Sweet! you are going to be a busy man with all the requests you are getting. thanks! :cool:
B-Nez 01-22-2003, 04:41 PM Here's silver/titanium and yellow/black (what do you run your own taxi service?)

I think the silver/tit looks kinda neat, but the yellow/blk, red/blk, tit/blk don't really appeal to me.
Edit: Oops, I forgot to mask out the side marker...sorry

You know I 've alway thought that there was a strong connection there also!
:)
Does anyone remember the old british t.v. show "The Prisoner"? In the opening sequence was it a Lotus 7 ... or a Westerfield or Caterham 7 - What do I know, I'm just a guy from Detroit ...
Hey, does anyone else think there's a resemblance with the old (4door) Avanti?
;)

Looks good otherwise.

Thankyou kindly sir. No, I don't run a taxi service, and in any case I live in the UK, where all black (and noisy and diesel) is a taxi, and nobody drives yellow cars.
People usually ask me if I'm just obsessed with Jordan F1, but I'd never really thought of it that way before they said it.
Also, thanks for taking the trouble to alter the interior too, I'm really pissed off that they've decided not to do that interior for real after teasing me with it in all the publicity shots.

In all honesty the interior automatically altered with the car body, so it was no trouble at all. I had forgotten that your taxis are all black, haven't lived in the UK since '97.
ZoomZoom 01-23-2003, 08:32 PM That two-colour look looks hideous to me.
Cihuuy 01-24-2003, 08:50 AM Miata: Indeed its low... I LIKE... :D IMHO, that two tone fire flame is better than the others... :p but i'll choose a 2 or 3 piece rims wivout that blue tinggy in the middle... and it would look damn nice!!! i ask to much huh!?! hehehe Nice work... :)
...am i the only one who dislike the two tone colors other than the flame rx8??? :eek:
