A glimpse into the future...
Thanks to Rick for photoshopping and Jack for taking the pic in the first place. This is the future of the Red Queen. Like it or don't it is inevitable...
 Guess I had better get to sanding.

No. Just SC flares on the rear which are already there.

Not sure it has much value for a gruppe B car, but here is the correct height for the Carrera stripes. These were put at the factory in December 1972:

George that is awesome. i forget do you still have that car? If so could you measure how far from the bottom of the door the script is? Thanks.
Kemo, Thanks for the options. I may change the door scripts once a season to mix it up!

Are the scripts a decal or that "color forms" removable stuff?

Shawn, Oh yes. That one stays with me forever.
Here from the factory manuals:  Edit: the 2nd picture is wrong (of all places...). The stripe bottom is 50mm above the rocker trim, which is about 1-2 mm below the door sill. |

Looks like line the C up on the drivers door and the A on the passenger door. And 48MM up from the bottom of the door?

Another way to think of the position of the Carrera script is to draw an imaginary line along the center of the stripes - they should line up with the center of each bumper where the bumper trim is on George's car. In cases where this trim is absent you could have a stripe there -and it should all be along the same centerline.

Shawn, the C and the a are 10 mm from the edge of the door.
The height was originally thought so that the stripe top is on the same level as the front fender to bumper joint:

Thanks George. It is true my car is a GruppeB car....but some rules should not be broken.
