Even as a pisstake I couldn't bring myself to do that. I find it funny that even if you went over the top stupid with it, something like a four foot wing, which would be an obvious fun-poke at the rice-brigade, I'm sure there would still be some tool who would look at it and say "yeah cous, that's fully hectic!" :evil:

Anyways I'm going to be begging for sponsors, so whatever I do, I'm going to try and present it in the most proffessional way I can so some generous business owner might want to see his business name plastered all over it - probably a pipe-dream I know, better to plan for it just in case I can make it happen!! 8)

Many years ago when in the same boat, I had a graphic artist friend draw some mockups of how it would look with particular sponsors logos - this was before the age of photoshop, and presented to a few businesses.

These days with photoshop etc it would be easy to put together a sponsors pack so they can see what the car will look like, what you will do for them in return etc in a professional manner.

Years ago in the days of VHS, I helped someone put together a tape of footage from various rallies (usually just snippets of them going around various corners or past spectator points) for the same purpose.

Good luck with when it happens.
