Poll, two tone ae111 levin paint

m-i-m-m-

I think a poll may make sense! Thoughts out of these 4 options?

1.



2.



3.



4.

2 all the way. It blends so much better between light and dark.

Be confident in knowing, whatever you choose, it'll end up looking shíte when the number plate is put on.

I picked 3 by mistake and can't change :pac:

It should be 2

yeah, 2 for sure. the indentation along the door is setting it up for you.

Looking again, 1&3 are too top heavy with white, pic 4 is too bottom heavy. Number 2 is just right.

It's also a real nod to the original cars. To me it's a matter of taste, those who need to know and who will understand will pick it out straight away.

The rest will lament the lack of a viper stripe

noooooooooooo!

your original idea was a fantastic one. an idea to do something relatively unique to a car that in this country is usually modded to look the exact same as the next one. as BA says, it's a real link back to the cars roots and a very tasteful idea, it would certainly compliment the car and option 2 really has gotten the proportions right.

the reason option 1 and 3 look bad imo is because the solidity is broken around the fog light area, cluttering up the look and the side of the car also gets very busy with essentially three stripes (including the indentation).

the already existing indentation in the door and the opportunistic use of it's location are what is making options 2 and 4 look so much cleaner. i'd imagine it would look awesome from behind too. it again keeps the ae86 style by just leaving the top leading edge of the bumper white.

edit: looks like the original has the stripe below the indentation in the door actually. but yours still looks class with option 2 :P

I was joking! Ha

But great points... 2 seems the right option.

is that "2" from a different angle? If so I don't think it works as well from that angle. Between 4 and 2 for me. Wrap/vinyl or spray?

Edit - I think your photo shopping left you down on the bumper in the new "rear with stripe". Stripe too thick compared to space. If you can get the same proportion as in the original pic 2 then it will look better IMHO. Tricky - 2cm could make a big difference!

Tis "2" from a different angle alright... the photoshop is sloppy (most of them are!) But I just threw it together to get a general idea. 3am and a few beers and the photoshop skills get a bit lazy :pac I know what you mean about the proportion... the plan is it will be equal alright

Oh... and wrap. Cheaper, can change my mind and take it off if I wish, or am selling the car, plus will protect the paint under the vinyl till that point.

Try it without the stripe, then vinyl the stripe on if you need it.

You can't really un-paint it afterwards.

2 all the way.

Defiantly option 2, very cool idea by the way, will really stand out from the countless White levins about the place.

You'll hardly put a plate on the front with that done though will you? As said it could ruin the look altogether

I voted 3 but think the black line should be thicker, it looks too small in all the pictures, would look better if it were like the AE86 one.

The old "I've put my reg plate in the window because I would dearly like to be pulled over for further scrutiny at the next checkpoint" craic.

id just explain to the guard that pulls you over.

I think having a front reg plate will spoil the appearance of my car. Therefore, I have removed it.

I think number 1 is the best .. It's the proper ae86 design but either 1 or 2 will look lovly either way

m-i-m-m-

Just picked it up a hour or two ago... very happy with the result. Will get a better pic soon when I have the chance. Not to everyone's taste, but at least she's a bit different now
