Maybe with some blue pearl (RS royal blue colour)
And then maybe have the WRC and RS "decals" ghost painted on so it gives a subtle WRC flavor, instead of "heat score" look with the bright decals

Just my .02
And I think it would give it more of a show car look, rather than a WRC replica look

I like the idea of keeping it all white , but if the wing is going to be black you should do the hood vents and roof scoop black too.
What about a custom design? Something rally-ish, but unique? I kind of like the big rear spoiler in black.
Kind of like the Castrol design, but maybe have the pattern going further to the front tires and no logo.
Could put another colour in front.

I've been to a Dodge site before that has quite a few talented photoshoppers. Maybe find a Ford site and
give some inspiring artists some direction and see what they come up with??
Just quickly fooling around while eating some lunch.

yep, i have tooooo many vinyl rolls collecting dust..
bad news.
panel adhesive is not doing its job, no matter how well i prep, no matter how well i follow instruction, whenever i punch panel, i hear cracking.
and panel is not holding anymore.
now i am using rivets for all and i will just fiberglass over...i need to go buy some more resin..
That CAN'T be good
Rivet will hold the best. Rivets are used when assembling airplane..
while fiberglass on panel gets cured, i sanded down some rust spot in engine bay and sprayed some.

wont the fiberglass crack when you put it over the rivets?
unless you are talking about rivets on jeans that spins, it shouldn't.

and fiberglass wont, body filler alone will.
Would a low expansion foam help adhesion and eliminate flex/cracking?
those, i am not sure.
test fitting spoiler

figuring out other method of mounting spoiler, all suggested to use windshield adhesive but i do not trust adhesive alone

Your car looked much lower in previous pics lol.
all I can say is I can't #$#%#%^#$^% wait to see this car done!! its going to turn some heads.
Very nice, I think it would look sick with a graphix wrap somewhat of a repica to the true racer.
