I like the single stripe, like Mandy and Mass, but the flames have really got my imagination going. :idea: I'm thinking a nice one on the bit just behind the back wheels, on each side, like you're generating some real heat from the tyres!!! :thumbsup Very cool!

Not sure the image transfers over to my Europa too well, tho :(
Once had a '2006 Lotus Europa - bit more power version' but it leaked real bad!
I'm the unluckiest guy in world when it comes to cars, the last 12months being proof of that!! Why couldn't I just love uncomplicated things instead........................?

That's not quite what I had imagined but.......... I'm going to search high and low for a cool looking car with flames. If that's the standard of stuff I'm gonna find, it might take a while though!!!!!!

yeah flames like waynes world car not exactly what I had in mind...... cool shiny silvery and matt flames coming out from the wheel arches and gently licking up and along the sides of the car emulating it's natural curves.. car porn indeed! :shock:

I still think that the best use of stripes I have seen is on Mandy's S2. The "single" wide stripe in the contrasting silver really enhances the overall appearance of the car.

Aw thanks. I wasn't keen on the 2 single stripes either on the S2 hence the reason I went for the one I have. 2 single stripes work well on the S1 but not the S2 IMO :D
