Default FPV Updates

anyone seen the updates on the FPV site?

the colorator can now be used with each and every FPV model, so you can see the color combos on the GT, GTP, Pursuit, Super Pursuit, Typhoon and Tornado...


i noticed a color which i hadn't seen before, "menace" and it looks hot! its a purple, but much better than vibe....

also configure options to see prices etc.....

new sneak peaks at the new ad campaigns....a write up from John Bowe on the FPV range, and i think the re-release of the typhoon, and the release of the tornado.

You wouldn't be saying that if you saw it in the flesh. Its going to be a love/hate colour thats for sure.

I actually prefer love/hate colours than the more 'safe' ones which nethier excite and disgust you. Rather get passionaite about it either way IMO.

: The GT-P looks great in Lightning Strike, however, when you enlarge it, it has the GT wheels on it. Hmmm.

Cheers, Danny

Hmmm, i would try to look at it but quicktime is playing up... It brings it up as a broken link on any page that uses the quicktime plug-in. Can anyone help?

Cheers!

for those people that couldnt see menace...here it is with the 4 possible combos. no stripes, white stripes, orange stripes, and just the bulge decals

the new colorator is good, you can see every color with all the rim and stripe combos. much better than the old 1 where you could only see the colors/stripes on the normal GT with 18's even if u wanted to see a typhoon

seems to be a replacement for vibe which was horrible imo, and too much like the holden purple.

phantom on series 1 was good, and i think this might be even better as far as exciting colors go....its a bit lighter, so a bit further away from black than phantom was

Can't believe they're getting rid of Velocity before the BA facelift :

I saw nuclear weapons going off, heard Steppenwolf, saw the car and thought 'Holy shit this going to rule!'. Then it just ends....what crap. They started off good then it just dies in the **** big time.

Menace in the colorator looks nothing like it in the metal. It basically looks like they have just re-used the phantom version instead of creating a new color for the colorator. It is actually a hell of a lot lighter than Phantom or Vibe and I think it looks crap.
