Question How would you customize your F1?

If you were to purchase an F1, what colour etc. would you want it?

If this topic has been brought up before, I apologize, but I did search just in case!

We kind of had a thread like this before.

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=118481

Exterior wise, XP4 or XP5's colors would both suite me well. My interior of choice is already in that thread, not the LMs, but one of the photoshops I did. I can tell you one thing, my F1 would not be silver because there's already WAY TOO MANY of them.

Re: How would you customize your F1?

well then, i'd ask for a smaller final-drive ratio, because were would i drive 400? My interior choice is obvious to some of you, for those who don't know, i particularly like, cognac or whisky brown leather, GT style, with black stripes on them. Black because the interior will be black as well. Or maybe very deeeep dark purple, i sat in a spyker convertible some time ago with those colours, they're awesome, truly amazing, you can picture it by darkening the 016 pics i think.

Sorry about that....

Anyhoo, this may sound stupid, but can I ask what HDF is?

Don't be sorry - you can't be expected to read every thread here before posting. I'd recommend it though.

I was just providing a link so that you'd see some previous discussions and some examples, rather than us reposting them all in here.

The HDF Kit, or LM Kit as some people call it, is the High Downforce Kit that McLaren can add to a standard F1 road car to give it the look of an LM or GTR. There are quite a few road cars that have received this upgrade.

Re: How would you customize your F1?

I'd say either White on Black or Black on Tan. Although the HDF looks uber appealing, I find it takes away from the beautiful silhouette of the stock road car, I'd get an LM if I wanted the HDF.

I wouldn't mind a Black/Black one with black powder coated rims, like the Blue one in several pics on here.
