Just spent an hour or so fudging about with it. AndyB as always supplied the superb car images.

I've just pieced it together and chosen the colour scheme. Decided to go with black button bar this time, to bring it more into line with the main site.

Im not sure about the background colours as yet, with having a red car and a blue car on the header I decided to use both graduated, Green was a bit garish! and i've tried to move away from yellow.

Let me know your thoughts anyway, things are easily changed.

Looks good, the yellow was getting "tired". Not sure on the blue and red though - those specific colours look harsh to me, and son't seem to match owt :think:

As i said, not sure myself. However, all blue will clash with the WTCC car, and all Red will clash with Liam's. And im fed up of yellow too.

Let me try something and see if i can make a more subtle single coloured blend.

New one (sunset stylee gradient) goes a bit wrong at the RHS on high resolution screens.

I was already on that before i read this. :)

Just a few stray pixels at one edge that showed up when stretched. Fixed now.

GIF is rubbish for blends though, going to see if we can change the template to use PNG's instead.

perhaps a bit more of a gap above the roof lines would look better?seems to be cramped a bit to my eye?!?!?!?

I thought something looked different when i logged on. Looks spot on. Nothing like a bit of spring time re-decorating!

Liking it very much. The buttons look kinda classy and even more so against the sunset effect above.

Trying to keep the detail in Andy's illustrations, hence why i've kept them as large as possible.

dont worry about that, it could be a tad smaller perhaps. Could also invert the colours as the light colour tends to highlight the rideheight (which is correct). Inverting it might work - I'm sure you've already played with that

We could also have a hint of the bg colour of the windows, although my crap use of object layers in Illustrator, I haven't made that easy. Off work for a week, so I'll look into that once I'm back Z if you want as its not on this computer
