Or... make the cnc logo "Loba Orange" and place every-other bobin... ie x 6
(that maybe too much)

Or just take the logos off as it adds to the weight ;)

It's coming from a country where every petrol head has some sort of tuned ricer.

To have something euro with a few 'exotic' parts in nz is unique (which is where it will be in July)

With our wheels I am sure most of the bell is obscured (I need to check now to back up my ramblings) so I didn't picture it as being over the top. Though sprint blue with orange.....now that you mention it......
