Re: Race numbers, opinions please.
Thanks!!! Some people don't like them - I do though, and they're better because I made them myself!!superlite wrote:Loving the headlight numbersSmev wrote:here is mine to give you an ideaVery nice indeed!
I used some 3mm thick white perspex or plexiglass which i cut to size, then got my grandad to do the red border of the '3's.
they are stuck on with some small velcro coins so can be removed at short notice or if it gets dark

Re: Race numbers, opinions please.

i think you're right mark, stick them on and leave them a while, if i don't like them peel them off or over time i might grow to love them. must get some stickers then.

Re: Race numbers, opinions please.
Hi Rhory,
I've pondered about this too; in the end I came to the conclusion that it would be rude not to have the #11 on it seen as the rest of it is clearly immitating the Suzuka 8Hr bike!
Being totally honest (and please forgive me if I'm too anal here), because your number board is red rather than black or white as per the race Castrol RC45's, I'm not sure it'll look right.
The way to go is as you've mentioned; get some numbers and stick them on, only then will you be sure if it's something you'd like or not. Get photos on here after and I'll share my opinion on it again.

Rhory, I've worked on a couple of your photos and it doesn't look too out of place actually!
