Challenging photoshop - my wife's new racecar livery
My wife is building her new E46 M3 racecar and is working on the livery for the car. She's done some mock ups but they don't have aero and they don't have the wheels she's using, so wanted to see if anyone could give it a shot here.
She really likes the livery of the 911 below and is tying to do something very similar on her M3. The aero she'll have on the car is similar to the two M3's pictured below. Can find more side pics if needed with E46 M3 CMOD or E46 M3 GTS4 or I can help search them up. She'll have mild flares on the rear but no widebody.
The wheels she'll have are from Bimmerworld TE:AL forged as pictured on the cars below. Her car is base white right now, will have a CF roof and trunk but those will likely also be painted white.
Here's her mock up so far in illustrator. Trying to get something that looks more realistic using her wheels to visualize the design on the BMW
Thanks in advance, know this one is pretty involved! If you are so inclined, her number will be 611 and will have sponsor logos similar to the white 175 car and orange/black cars in the first post
Here is a mockup. Didn't have time to really look at the spoiler because I don't know what they're called specifically.. Took the car pic from european auto on flickr, wheel from bimmerworld. Not sure really what you guys are looking for in terms of other aesthetics so something to kind of draw your mind a bit is what this will hopefully do. Will look at other things when I have a little more time.
Wow, this is AWESOME! Showed my wife and she's blown away and was so excited.
We'll work on getting you a few more specific details on the aero stuff (rear wing, front splitter). She just fitted the uprights for the wing last weekend so we can take an actual picture of those (they're custom) with a towel or something behind them so they're easy to pick out.
The PFC brakes on that car (355mm front and 328mm rear) are exactly what she'll have as well, both brand and size), although it has different wheels. That's a nice to have nit detail.
Looking for rear wings / uprights, haven't found the perfect side aspect pic.
What she will use is the Brooks Motorsports Elite Carbon Wing with custom cut uprights. It'll look like something similar to these. She'd have the end plates vinyld red to match the car red vinyl (no brooks logo)
Wife will take some pics of her uprights and I'll post a bit later
Here's her actual upright that'd show the slope and angle. CF wing gets mounted on top of that
Ignore the gap on the CF trunk (and it will be painted white like the rest of the car), the trunk is just sitting on back of the car (same for the window, it's some sort of polycarbon material and has a plastic shipping film on it)
Here's another crack at it. Ignore the background as it was just there to show the spoiler. Per the vector the front end looks like it's purposely lower than the skirts/rears so thus was put in that way.
My wife asked me if I could trouble you and ask for a copy of the car exactly as you have it, but in just basic white without the graphics and decals. Think she wants to print and manually color in a couple of other alternative designs to compare.
Hopefully easy to do!
thanks in advance
