I was thinking about some side decals, and I was hoping to see what they may look like.

Can you do both the Carrera, and the Porsche in both Black and Yellow?

Show a set in Black, and a set in Yellow.

I have a some examples in black, but I can't find any in yellow

Thanks

I'll make it easy. If you are going to do anything, I'd go with the black Porsche script. Carrera script on a narrow car looks out of place IMO. Also, I prefer the script color to match the wheel centers.

Although, if you are selling, I would leave it as-is.

Here's my crappy attempt.

Half-assed, but hopefully you get the idea.

Scuba · 09-19-2005, 08:18 PM

A little better.

Scuba,
Hey you are not to far from me, I play a Rugby game there once a year.

With silver you're going to want to stick with muted colors(Gray blue, forest green,brick red, oxide yellow, etc.) otherwise the graphics will stick out like the proverbial "turd in a punchbowl". Personally, I would go with the blue, but what the hell, whatever floats your boat. BTW, I drive an A3 and I know what you mean by "WOW" and mine ain't chipped. Yet.

Craig,
I was talking to a friend this wekend , she is checking if APR has a chip for it

Also is the Oxide Yellow muted?I just don't want to do what everybody does and go with black. Maybe a charcoal gray would be cool...I don't know. It needs something

Sure, I'll give it a shot tomorrow. I got's to get to bed - now that the Cowboys/Skins is over.

A couple of my buddies play Rugby down here. I'm not sure what league, but they used to play intramural at the Naval Academy.

I was thinking of going with the Porsche script in grey or silver to give a subtle look. Either that or black.

Can one of you guys PS in a silver script?

Actually Oxide yellow is a cross between gold/green. Also APR does have a chip out that takes the A3 from 200 to 253 HP thru the VAG COM which takes about 15 minutes to download at the APR dealer. I think you can also do a 12 HR. download which will let you test drive it to see if it works for ya. Ain't life grand? OBTW don't mean to hijack the thread.

It'd help if you had a sample of the color. Otherwise I just hafta use a color off the Photoshop pallete, which will be hard with silver - and won't give you a good idea of the subtle effect you're looking for.

I like that look.
