I know it's your choice to have it in Papaya Orange due to you having the money to buy it

but did you ever think about converting it back to it's original livery?

or do McLaren not offer that service

One could argue though that test cars are not race cars. There's always a technicality...

>8^)
ER

they did it every year in between AFAIK, usually before they figure out the final livery

Mr Bridger: will you attend a race (any class like DTM, FIA GT, LMES, etc.) this year?

If yes which ones?
I'd love to come over from The Netherlands to view your stunning orange GTR!

Regards,
Patrick

Hello mister Bridger
It sounds very good ! You speak about GT90 Revival or another event far in the future ?

that sounds great

admittedly it does look good in Papaya, but what you say about the Fina colours sounds interesting

how much would it cost to re-do it back to its old livery?

Mr Bridger, what color sheme do you go for? Two toned or custom plain colored?
How about two tone black? That would be amazing. Like satin black base and cobalt black front.

And how do you feel about the FXX and CCX? I've been lucky enough to been a passenger in both those cars (actually it was a CCR, but it's basically the same car) and the experience was mind blowing to say for sure! I have never been in a moving McLaren unfourtanely. I have felt how it's to be seated in one at least.

metallic blue black & silver, the FXX is only a track car so its use is very limited, the chuckyegg i have bad memories of as when i was due to test one against my zonda (for 5th gear) it broke down on 3 seperate occassions...causing a lot of frustration.. !!

You could do the job for a fair price using vinyl. It's fairly typical in the racing world and is often done for vehicle advertising (known as auto wrapping here). Then a week later, you could have it peeled away and be orange all over again.

[PatrickT82]

I'd leave it orange (imo thats the best color for an F1 GTR!)

You should go to the FIA GT round 5/6 may 2007! (incl. the 90's revival!)

Take your Mac out for both days!;-)

I was expecting that, so true as well, I probably couldn't afford a single part on the car
