very cool tom and keith. thanks for posting it rob!



One question, though....where are the options for "Aluminun - Dull, Scratched, and probably Pitted" and "Aluminum - Polished"? And of course, the ever popular "Carbon Fiber".

I keeeeed!



There should be some way you can email people your creation. We could have a gallery.



If I wassn't slammed with an RFI doc today, I'd waste about 2 hours playing with this.<edited><editID>Al Navarro</editID><editDate>2007-03-23 08:01:30</editDate></edited>

I can't take full credit for that, the idea and graphics came from >Westfield World (http://www.westfield-world.com/colourchanger.html) and were used by permission. I just did a little recoding to make it work better http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif



It actually does have the ability to email color settings, I just haven't made that accessible to the public yet. Maybe later...



Sorry, "dull scratched and pitted Aluminum" is a Caterham color scheme that is not offered on Westfields http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/images/emoticons/smile5.gif

that westfield tool is fun. select a color and then use the mouse's scroll wheel and its blast. its like looking at an open bag of Skittles or Jelly Bellys and then taking a hit.

Very slick!

I added the ability to email and link to various combinations on my configurator a little while back. Printing doesn't work yet though.

Call me sick but I have thought that a harlequin Seven (remember the VW golf harlequin) would look great.

Had to look this one up .. the Golf Harlequin (http://www.rossvw.com/harlequin/) were assembled by painting them then switching body panels!

I use to see one of those harlequin Golf's driving around in the next town over. It looked pretty cool! :)

How about this one that was for sale a while back?

The last VW harlequin that I saw was parked at a rectory some place in Virginia. The few that I have seen had great paint quality, much better quality than that of normal VW paint. The Se7en with its mostly easily separated panels is a natural for this. Especially since for not that much money you could have a spare set and paint them however you wanted, easily going from one paint scheme to another (traditional to wild in an afternoon perhaps).

I’m not a fan of the car in the PistonHeads photos although I like the painted parts that clash in both color and pattern. I am mooved by the cow-7.

At one point I had thought of getting some of the camo vinal and putting it on our M100 as a joke. If it was white, green or black rather than red I might have gone through with it.

Are there any other wildly painted Se7ens out there?

This is a well known (some would say infamous) Seven across the pond. It's currently for sale on Pistonheads.
