Does this mean we're definitely going to see it at Silverstone in 2016?
If so, we'll reserve pride of place for it.

Race you to Silverstone, Migge - although I've only been 5 years on mine
Re: BRA289 customized recreation
14 days after the yellow paint the lacquer was sadly not as good as 3 days after. Not unusual but not really expected that much. The surface was not smooth as a peach, more like an orange again
The whole car and parts need to get another smooth finish with 800 grid again before the clear coat. I hope it will stay and I hope NOT to polish the whole car as nowadays common with new painted cars to get the glassy look.

Bonnet and hood after sanding again and before the rivets came in, tape protection against slipping off

Did you know that the paint on the Bloodhound world speed record attempt car will be painted with special high speed paint which has dimples like a golf ball!
According to the Sat Telegraph the paint is developed by NASA and also used by McLaren on their F1 cars.
So maybe orange peel effect is not so negative?

Re: BRA289 customized recreation
I think with just 120 miles is not that important. I prefer the paint without any big orange peel
