pictures of THIS car?

[austingoblue]

Got a nice book from F5 last night, had all of the 2021 models. I noticed that THIS car has white stripes...but I cannot find pictures of it ANYWHERE.

Does anyone have any pictures of this car, or know where to see them? I really want to see what the silver looks like with the white stripes.

Thanks142439

It's not the exact car you're looking for, but one of the best silver / white stripe cars is an original S/C, CSX3040. Here is a good picture gallery:

The car in that photo is (actually was...long unfortunate story) the original Mk4 prototype and was all silver with no stripes. If you find photos of the 25th Anniversary prototype it is a Fiat silver with pearl white stripes. I did a nearly identical copy of it last year which was the London Cobra Show raffle car. I used a slightly different silver; Lamborghini Titanium. It's about the only silver I've found that truly has any depth. Here are a few pics of it:

Jeff,

That's the Titanium you were talking to me about. I like it a lot, I'm thinking that with black stripe would be really sexy.

Hi. If you're looking for the color that car in the brochure is painted with I can send you the slip from the exact can of paint they used to spray it. FFR was nice enough to send to me a few months ago, my car is getting painted with it as we speak (with a BMW carbon black stripe). It's a Mercedes Silver.

I’m interested in painting my car this colour. I have a poster of this car on my garage wall. Can you send me the info? Thanks.

[austingoblue]

Jeff, Yes so the stuff F5 sent me had THIS car on the outside (which I attached to my post) and I assumed it was the all silver car that is in the build school pictures. (same tires, same color, everything looks identical) except the car in the school build photos has no stripes....and the Car I put on this post, I can see white stripes...maybe that is what you are talking about??

I will add a picture later.

[austingoblue]

CFranks, yes please send me a PM! would love it

Stripes...i see stripes. JEFF...were the stripes added later?

[Jeff Kleiner]

Well I’ll be... The original Mk4 was all silver. Here’s that photo:

Now compare that to the one you started the post with; yours has 25th Anniversary fender badges rather than Powered by Ford, rectangular tail lights rather than round and overriders rather than quick jacks. AND STRIPES! I wonder if they morphed a side shot of the showroom 25th Anniversary car with the original Mk4 image so that it has the Halibrands and Billboards instead of the bronze wheels???

Interesting, and kind of like that old kids game where you try to find all of the things that are different in two pictures!

JEFF - YES, i was so confused!!! They must have. Well when the time is right that is what I want my car to look like. wheels and all. I just love it. BUT I want the white stripes even though the all silver MK4 is so clean looking. Let me guess....those tires are either NOT good for just cruise driving and or not available to buy:) Just my luck. My car will be a fun cruise type car, not for racing or even doing anything dangerous. I love the 15inch wheel look. SO if you have the silver and white color....save that for austingoblue please!!!

[austingoblue]

Jeff, you see the pic I sent you with the stripes??? I assume that you did NOT do the body work:) whats up with the door gaps on that?

[austingoblue]

Thanks for the Gallery, love seeing these pics!

My thought exactly. HUGE gaps!

[austingoblue]

Yes, I look at stuff like that and your cars all seem to have perfect gaps:) Good work!!!


No! Not one one of mine! Here’s one of my silver cars

Here's another for the Frost Titanium. Looks so awesome and it changes so much in bright or darker light.
You would not be disappointed.142477142478142479142480

We just made a little wheel edit for the booklet cover to put the Halibrand wheels on the car.

[Rdone585]

Mine was that color for 15 years. I went for a repaint last winter and decided to change it slightly.
The original color was BMW Titanium, with a white silver pearl stripe.
