As detailed in this thread, Pippin once had "Formula '90" décals on his hind-quarters...

...and now I will be getting him back, soon -- and kolza kindly traced his "Formula '91" décals for me... -- I was seriously thinking of getting them recreated. However, I'm struggling to decide what colour they should be.

This is what they look like on the white Panda that's recently been on eBay...



...and I think they're white or cream (or even greyish) on Jacob's. :chin:

And, of course, this is what Pippin looks like...!



Any thoughts on the matter would therefore be very welcome...! :worship:

PS: JamieK -- you don't remember what colour they were on the one you spotted, do you...?

Light blue would look nice

I know what you mean... -- although I think I want something a little more 'contrast-y'....

I might just pick a colour from his upholstery, when I get him back. I just don't want the homewardette plumping for pink...!



Of course, he does have the orangey-red stripe on the boot...

A dark blue would also look good

I'm saying white, but I think the right shade of grey could look good too. I think contrasting would be best

Mine are really light gray with a bit of star dust ( silver or metalic), same as the side strips.

All of them were light grey iirc. I have Uno and Tipo brochures from 1990 where they have "formula" models (different script but same colour). All of the Panda and Uno Formula 90's I remember were a light grey colour - there used to be loads of them as they were cheap!

Therefore it has to be light grey Shirley?!

I knew someone was going to say something like this. :bang:

And there was I thinking a nice Sisley-script cream would look really and go with the upholstery....

Thanks, Laverne...!

BTW: what do you mean, "cheap"?

Actually, I'm impressed (and grateful -- honest...) that someone knew. However: do I stay 'authentic'; or do I say to all that...? :nono:

Go OEM+ people will look and think "what's not quite right about that car." but unless they are Palio they won't know what's not quite stock.

We have clearance Clarence

I should have said good value, or well priced, maybe inexpensive?

The truth is no one much remembers, and even fewer will care (in the nicest possible sense) so Sisleyesqe would look fine.

I think Sisley esque would look great!

Stephen I'm sorry I haven't got back to you about my stickers man yet, he hasn't replied to my email about doing the set of decals as yet. I will get back on it

Ta! And no panic! I've tried emailing a couple of local firms, just in case... -- but, as I usually never hear from such companies again, I may yet be pestering you...!

It's ok, pester away! He is doing my Sisley door stickers anyway so I hope he is ok and/or hasn't done a runner!

Oh and when we find a reliable decent decal maker I'll have a set for Fizzle

Fizz ones not Formula x ones ;P

i voted black but...... orangey-red look good!

Hi Homey, I'm pretty sure they were a light grey colour on the one I saw near me, but equally a nice cream/off white might suit Pippin.

Bizarrely looking back at the photo I took of it, it turns out it was the blue twin sunnies that was in auction watch a couple weeks back, only they'd removed the formula stickers, painted the bottom half black and fitted alloys since I spotted it!
