I quite liked the new XVR livery when it was on the road car but the front looks wrong on the racer. Took me a while but I eventually worked out why. The road car has a black/chrome grill which breaks up the mass of red, the racer has a solid plastic cover over the grille.

Agreed, its gorgeous and one of the best touringcar liveries I've seen in a long while.

jacksons livery is really nice in a subtle kind of way. If you saw it on tv it wouldnt immidatly attract your attention, but once you see it a few times you'd appreciate it.

VXR wewnt for attention grabbing colour schemes in the past, but these look quite offensive if you have to look at them for a long time.

Looks like this is what VXR have realised with their new scheme.

For me, this is the worst by a long way, though to be fair we weren't long out of the 80's then

But at least they made a bit of an effort! Worst in recent times has to be those Team Sureterm/GA cars from 2004. Not really a livery, more a black car with a load of text plastered all over it, with no attempt to make a coherent design.

Sorry about the large Image earlier!

Tim Bevan 2007 repainted his car after another driver hit him claiming he didn't see him!,"Can you see me now" great character and a sad loss to touring cars.

the GA Sureterm cars we're pretty bad, but it did get better when Sureterm left
http://www.stillphotography.co.uk/ga..._1791.jpg.html

The colours were pretty bad on the Alfa, but the black and white Astra looked pretty cool... Couldn't find a pick of it though.

At least they've made an improvement on it today:

I did up a quick photoshop, and in my opinion, improved the design quite a bit.

Imagine it as chrome.

Agreed, and the chrome would indeed be even better. I think the OPC/VXR has that lip in body color though?

[edit] Indeed it has: http://www.channel4.com/4car/media/V...-vxr-f3q-a.jpg

That grill is a vast improvement, before it made the car look like a remote control toy!

I agree, maybe if we say it enough on here they'll change it, seems to have worked this time ;-)

Who is to say that wasn't their plan anyway and they just didn't have time to relivery 3 cars for media day. Remember media day in 2005 when the Muller Astra appeared with a chrome grille instead of a black one? And the other two cars had no V at all.

That would be an option if that roadgoing car wasn't reliveried already some time ago. It doesn't take that long to put those stickers on, especially when there are as little as on the Vauxhall.

There is part of it that looks like a rush job. The VXR logo on the side is in a slightly different place on one of the 3 cars. On Neal and Onslow-Cole's cars the door shut line is between the V and X, on Gio's it's between the X and R. Seems odd because I thought they pre-liveried spare body parts to save time on raceday. If they need to replace a door nothing will line-up.
