interesting number plate set up , does it flip up to aid in downforce whilst passing speed cameras matey..........lol

Until I junk the oiler the standard under tray does the job, anyway the stumpy cans vibrate the plate so much I doubt if you could read it

Unusual colour, very nice.

i was thinking of doing a pretty similar colour scheme to yours mate, same bellypan and everything the only difference being i'm using race fairings front and back, looks good buddy, i thought you had one of those flip up number plates which the police take a very dim view on, hence my previous comment.........

I really like the look of that mate. Love that orange with the black.

If I repair my fairings im half tempted to do an orange paint job too. Maybe a candy orange that goes a little bit yellow at certain angles.

stop nicking my ideas ziggy............hahaha
i'm thinking of the 911 rs3 orange with carbon fibre style decals.......mmmm

I bet if you look into that mate, the paint will be a 5 or 6 layer for that colour. I would just pick a more generic one if I were you, otherwise it will cost a fortune and you will never be able to touch it up if you damage a little bit of it.

Thanks for all your comments and I couldn't help notice how many people commented on the colour. As it happens this is its original paint (only done 10K) and like the yellow is has a very faint metallic flip when you look real close. For anyone thinking about stubby cans be warned they are uncomfortably loud event with DB killers, I will need to fabricate some additional baffle tubes get the sound right.

I like that Firestorm. Lovely colour. Might do mine in that colour next.

Eh?

Honda made an orange VTR as standard? I thought they only made the yellow, red, silver, teal and black ones. What year did they start doing orange ones?
