Spark Plug Cover

Postby F1 LOTUS » Sat 15.10.2005, 20:49

Here's a quick rendering of an idea for a design based upon the 'CABC' monogram. I've some others roughly sketched with different themes including one with a couple of lines of an F1 car and a Brit flag inspired by the JPS Lotus era? I'll get around to modelling some of these or perhaps just scanning my pencil sketches :?

Spark Plug Cover season is open! FIRE AWAY :D

Very cool. I would be interested in the CABC (in black/silver :roll: ) - maybe a bit smaller so you can see more of the logo. Though I like the idea of only a portion showing.
Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated.

I think there's only a little showig cause it's "BMDB" instead of "CABC" :roll:

Brian is that an old doctored picture? or do you still have an MBC??

Not guilty on the BMDB :lol:
The design actually came about by sketching something to tie the filler cap into a 'spark' and evolved into the top part of the outer 'C' of cabc...

MBC?...Actually it's not my car and I never subscribed to the MBC club anyway as ESM saved me just in time! :D

Brian count me in, most possible for 3 different ones.

Since i luck of artistic inspiration can you post some ideas of yours with colouring?

Yep, interested here as well, black/silver, green/yellow would suit me (just when I thought I was immune to underbonnet bling).
