that looks horrible why why tell Scott dennis i'll pay him to go back to silver.

 

[m0rk]

Really? Z & I think it's a huge improvement... better than the 2004 aged silver livery

 

[spyke85]

Hmm, unsure about that! But probably because we are so used to it with the silver!

 

[Leon]

Glad that the car is finally totally yellow.

And the Holiday Inn sponsorship aint bad - from what I've read Vauxhall decided it took away their identity, but with the SEAT it still works well.

I quite like it and think it looks a lot better than the silver.

 

[ArosaRacer]

looks like a scc car now, we've lost our well known look. although its cheaper to replicate now

Glad to see it being refreshed at last. The 2004 look was really beginning to look a bit samey.

Everything else is pretty much the same, they may as well change something this year. Engines and Livery.

There is some room for a couple of SCN stickers below the lights...how about it Scott.

Agree with everything positive about it. And not just because I am on the side of those who like it.

am no Lawrence Llewellyn Bowen mind but I do genuinely feel if nothing else it atleast is a new image that refreshes the old and bland look. Yellow is a very bold colour when put next to say blue like on the WTCC Leons or red but when grey is put next to it, the yellow just looked pale and washed-out. Green next to yellow brings the yellow out again in terms of boldness because it is two bold and bright colours next to each other; almost working with each other to bring each other out.

It is growing on me.

Someone on motorsportforums.com suggested it reminded him of Norwich City!

i think it looks alright

but does this mean its new hats and coats this year to?

 

[DanGB]

Looks good I think

 

[Timthebrief]

That's what happens when you rub paint with those Vauxhalls all last season!!!!!!

So are we all getting discounts at the Holiday Inn this year.

Hope there's not any reliability issues. At the preview day at Rockingham today I arrived at 1:30 and saw Plato out on the track. 5 mins later I saw him being towed back to the pits.

He didn't go out on the track again for the rest of the day. Turner was out most of the afternoon though.

New paint job makes it a lot easier to shoot!

What camera/lens combo are you using? I spent most of the afternoon on top of the pits struggling to get dents panning shots due to me constantly shivering
