Cool. Is it on here? If it is I must have missed it. Thanks very much for sharing you reference photos. They really do help to understand the differences --- not just between the white/blue car and the all blue car, but also the differences between the three iterations of the blue car (Presentation/Brazil/Argentina).

Yes you are quite right, there are a number of changes/decisions that need to be made:
1) In profile, the sides of the head-rest need building out so that it is flush with the downward leading edge.
2) When looking straight over the driver's head into the air intake, the bottom of the top of the loop has a horizontal surface (clear to see on the Mika Salo/Brazil photo in my first post) but strangely not on the presentation car.
3) Colour/material. Some photos show the head rest to be dark blue, others white and blue. Some photos appear to be a smooth leather type material, while others show a fluffy suede like material.
Thanks very much for your help,
Bill
