    Racing stripes only improve speed, but at the expense of tone. Ask Billy Gibbons.

    Though I can't convince myself that a racing stripe in the answer, I do agree with @stan and others that the solid colour needs something. I am considering adding hot rod flames in a shade just lighter than the rest of the body. Here's my concept drawings:

    I personally find flames a bit tacky but different strokes hey. I understnad the hot rod thing though!

    What about a white geometric or something? To contrast the blue?

    Gav, I see where your coming from with the flame idea. A shade lighter would keep it quite subtle but interesting enough to the eye as a visual feature.

    Ok, this is mine if you go ahead!

    The flames remind me of the BC-1 you did Gav!

    Hmm, you might be on to something there! Might have a dig around and see what I can find / come up with.

    cheers,
