Livery creation process
I've created a template for very fast livery creation, where all I would need from a user is:-

the main colour
the element colour
the element layout (more on these below)
the racing number + backing colours
other minor items (registration plate/sponsors etc)

I have created approx 6 skin elements (bonnet stripes/roof/bonnet/boot/low side stripe/high side stripe/badges) that can be added individually or in concert to the blank base to create a unique skin.

I'll provide a visual representation in here of what each element does, so you can work out how you want your skin to look.
1. badge

2. high stripe with badge

3. High stripe

4. Low stripe

5. Roof

6. Bonnet Stripe

7. Bonnet Solid

8. Boot Solid

Well this is unexpected and awesome

Good news about liveries too. Better get the brown and beige brushes ready

Stuart Thomson · May 14, 2012

Brown Magnificence ahoy!

Paul M Jones · May 14, 2012

This is awesome, massive fan of Minis! This has just made my day!
I'll be like Paddy Hopkirk... but on the track!

(hopefully)
#16 on my car, a tribute to Tom Pryce.

That is Nice !!
I am on Holiday last 3 weeks of June so I do the first Race an the last 4 if that's no problem.

Jack Smith · May 15, 2012

Stu .. sorry for the lame question but would the mini you designed for me be suitable for this series or am I out in left field on this one.

Peter van Zanten · May 15, 2012

Up to you, Jack.

I can reuse that one, or you can design one from the template with your own colours

And by "right" you mean "correct"

Stuart Thomson · May 15, 2012

OK, so here's the deal if you want a new Mini livery:

What I would need from you is something like the following:

Base colour: xxxxxxx (RGB or HEX codes would be ideal if possible)
Element colour: xxxxxxx (as above)
Elements wanted: 1,5,6,8 (for example)
Number Roundel: xxxxxxxx (like base or element colour description)
Number: 105 (max 3 digits)
Number colour: Black or White
Driver Name: xxxxxxxx

So, Mr Bean's Mini (assuming he'd want #105 with a black number on a white roundel) would be:

Base colour: Lime Green (RGB 174,245,10)
Element colour: Black (RGB 0,0,0)
Elements wanted: 7
Number Roundel: White (255,255,255)
Number: 105
Number colour: Black
Driver Name: M. Bean
