First of all great to hear you are doing well. Kidneys are playing ball, awesome to hear.
The last photo of the Noble, is that the most current one? I can't remember seeing it in this color. It looks great.

I am not sure about it.
Can you replicate the stripe of the Merc on the Noble?

How do you feel after your injection? No side effects etc?

I have followed your adventures from early on but not posted before. I still kick myself for missing the Time Attack round at Brands Hatch where I could have seen the car in person. To me, it really does not need a stripe, certainly not one that wide and black is the only colour to go for - the yellow eats the badge which is the only other thing on the car that colour. The black on the other hand is there on the splitter and the massive rear wing and if you want to visually link the two, then a black stripe makes more sense.
I would suggest a central stripe just a couple of mm wider than the Noble badge, a 3mm gap either side of this main stripe and then a 3mm black pinstripe on either side so you end up with body colour, black pinstripe, body colour pinstripe, larger stripe, body colour pinstripe, black pinstripe, body colour. Hopefully you understand what I’m suggesting- I’m not too clever with linking images on my iPad! You can play around with the size of the pinstripes but the gap between the large stripe and the pinstripe needs to be the same as the pinstripe thickness or it doesn’t work.
If you drop me a PM ,I have some vinyl off cuts from a project that I’d be happy to send you in the post so you have something to visualise. They are only small bits though, nothing that would cover the bonnet or roof.
Look forward to the next update.

Morning guys , thanks for the input !,,
A sore arm and felt a bit crappy the next day after the jab but other than that fine 👍
I’m rubbish at photo shopping stuff too unfortunately, will speak to Neil at the Signteam too see if they can photoshop some stuff up !
I still really miss Time Attack , such a buzz I even think the car misses the racing 😂😂
Yes I like the idea of a larger Center stripe then 2 pinstripes up either side 👏
Will see if I can get it photoshopped !

So a annoying day today on the Noble , went to back it out the garage and found one of the front tyres dead flat !! Looks like it’s leaking through the rim !!! Looks like to rim is going to have to be stripped and rebuilt .   On the upside Valentine’s night is looking up 👌👌😎😎  |

Pretty strong contender for a desktop pic  Only ruined by the storm sized drain/gutter in the middle  Did you get the leaky bead on the split rim sorted? |

We thought the gutter added something 😂😂😂 No not yet , work being done on the garage so the car needs to be movable ! Hopefully done by the end of the week then I can get the tyre off and have a look !!  Quite like this one ! |

Would have to agree,
The gutter / drain does add "something" to the photos,
This is still a beautiful car,
