Those Decals do actually make the spoiler look far more appropriate! I'm not normally keen on large spoilers on the 8, but it works when it looks like it was put there on purpose.

Hehe. I do actually think it looks good.

I've been waiting for this to pop up , the colour contrast to the red bull did stop my giggling but it does look decent in the flesh

It's the earlier strato blue. It makes all the difference
It's only a bit of fun and the real life flames makes it look even better.

After putting the decals on finished fitting the bucket seats. Fitted runners to the seat bases for ease of getting in and out. And to give my daughter the opportunity to to take it around the track. Image
So seats set in place with harnesses all fixed in placeImageImageImage
