have been reading this forum for a while and thought about time i joined up. i love the new livery, was waiting for some larger images to be posted somewhere of it on track. it is one of the best looking liveries for years. right up there with the black and gold jps lotus...

plus i noticed kimi is running with the matt black helmet like in monte carlo last year. so if anybody has some larger pics of kimi track testing the new livery please post them!!!

The more photos I see, the more it looks a bit more dull than a true chrome finish. That is perhaps why it isn't really a problem for the other drivers.

Looks more like brushed aluminium.
Easy on the Appletini!

the first photos to show the car off were always going to be more shiney, a studio shot will show off the paint at its best as the conditions are perfect. but with reflections from the tarmac, overcast sky and other things it wont be a mirror all the time. but it does also look a little 'less polished'

still the best looking livery out there
