On the hard shoulder...
As detailed in this thread, Pippin once had "Formula '90" décals on his hind-quarters... :rolleyes:

...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. :confused:

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...? :eek:

Light blue would look nice

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

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



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

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?! (y)

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

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

Thanks, Laverne...! :D

BTW: what do you mean, "cheap"? :eek:

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

We have clearance Clarence :)

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

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

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...! :)

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!
