Does anyone know which web site has the Lotus 7 and Locost paint option trial where you try different color combinations on your finished car? If I remember right it was one of the kit replica sites but I can't find it now.

Thanks in advance,
Roy

Flyin' Miata had one for the Westfield last time I looked, about 8 years ago.

I posted up the link here years ago but heard fairly recently that the site had disappeared :(

The really cool one that Kurt referred to was from McGregor Motorsport, for the McGregor Mach7. It would let you mix your own colors and then apply them to a 7-ish car in any manner your little heart desired.

You can mix your own color(u)rs on the Westfield site. Just have to click on the "go to custom" button. You can change wheels to silver too. But no racing stripes like the McGregor site had. Too bad their site is down. I found the old sites on http://web.archive.org/web/20150113032114/http://mcgregormotorsport.co.nz/ but the colour schemer was not functional. I hope it is back up again soon.

I can't even find McGregor anywhere but some archive stuff. Did they fold up their tent?

Mike

The old website says "Under Construction" but apparently is still owned by McGregor. There's a name and telephone number on the site.

Maybe some of our friends down under can shed some light.
