My car is finnished! (or almost)

[voucht]

I'm very happy (and a bit proud too) to announce that after 3 years, 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days, my car is finished!
I just need to add the GRP plate Equinox is doing for me to cover the fuel tank compartment (on top of the rear tube), it will be of the same colour as the wings, and I'd also like to add a double stripe of the same colour as the wings all along the centreline of the car, but I can't find a supplier which can provide me with custom RAL colour vinyl for a reasonable quantity and price.
I'm also considering different options for the aero screen, I haven't made my mind yet.
Went for a short ride yesterday, but the wheels alignment was not correct, and it was very hard to drive. I've adjusted the front wheels today, and went for another very short drive and it felt very good! Can't wait to have it road legal!
Now, I have to set up and adjust everything for the car to be ready for the final inspection, hopefully in September. After that I have to take it to the "Bilprovning", which is the Swedish equivalent of the English MOT, and the car will be ready for the Swedish winter: perfect timing! :-o

Well done, Sylvain! It looks stunning. Nice colours. How did you decide on such an unusual palette?

Well done Syl......looks like you had some paint left over from doing the house or was it to blend in with the house.....clever....nasty thieves wont see it lol.
hope you get over that final hurdle and get it on the road before the white stuff comes......car actually looks very retro in those colours .

An absolutely stunning build, the finish is exceptional, but i really didn't expect anything else.

Thank you very much for the comments my friends. I kind of knew the colours I chose would "surprise" more than one of you
I didn't want my car too look like the other ones, with "standard" GRP colours. I made some researches on colour combinations, and I came across this beige + Bordeaux wine red, and found it very nice, and yes, a bit retro too, which I like. I'm very happy with the actual result on the car. I ordered the body work with custom coloured gelcoat and Equinox made a great work, colours are very uniform and the finish is stunning. I'm really happy I chose this option rather than having to paint/wrap it myself.
I think it also gives a "French touch" to this English car built in Sweden

Could someone please assist or help me finding a supplier in the UK which can supply vinyl wraps with custom colours. I need stripes and a panel to make the nose surrounding like on the picture below. The RAL number of my red is 3005. I've tried different supplyers on ebay, but can't really find what I'm looking for, and they never reply to email requests.
Thank you.

Why UK? You should talk to local advertising companies.

Mactac 9800 series is industry standard for wrapping vehicles and you should be able to get that as Albert says.

Amari plastics do it not far from me.
