This definitely comes under the category of finding inspiration! I’ve got a T4 panel van and I’m desperately trying to avoid the usual styles... (air and wheels or big shiny wheels and colour coded bumpers, nothing wrong with either but I fancy something different!) I really like look of the blocky, plain coloured side stripes that the German and Japanese camper conversions sometimes had in the 80s and 90s. A few examples can be seen here - forum.retro-rides.org/thread/108815/jdm-vans?page=1I’m looking for help, any more ideas, inspiration. Where to buy? I’m guessing a local sign writers would be best. Cheers  |

While the above van has a great look, surely the one-word answer you're looking for is "Dajiban"!?

Wildly off topic, but this...  Reminds me of these (from my younger days...)  |

Only thing I can add here is an old photo of mine from Forza 4 on the Xbox 360. I used to race this R35 which I covered in dazzle  |

Following with interest. I have a T4 too (in white) and have often pondered adding some sticky things to break up the never ending white.
I’ve thought about some stripes similar to the converted campers - the T4 has a nice dead straight line down the side. What colour is yours?
I kinda like the idea of some washed out sign writing too

I kinda like the idea of some washed out sign writing too My EXACT thoughts, mine is white too. I was thinking about the group B Audi colours, possibly Martini and I weirdly like the old British Gas blue and blue! (Don’t ask me why!) Everything in this thread is completely awesome*. It’s exactly why I read RR so much. The Blazer thing is my favourite. Keep them coming! *with exception of the strangely dressed people. |

I quite like them  That Audi Sport LT is what started it for me. I saw one at FOS a few years ago and loved it. I’ve just got to find the right look for my old rot box! |

I was thinking about the group B Audi colours I actually did this photoshop a while back - older van but Group B rally on a VW does look great.  |

Love that! I'm thinking Martini stripes for mine. I've done the A, B, and C pillars in black, and I've added GTI-style red stripes to the upper- and lowermost slats of the front grille.
