michael Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I like Supras, I like H R Giger's work - not sure about the 2 together but it's interesting! (Spotted on a local forum so I borrowed the rest of the pics, I haven't seen it around Leeds as yet though, will try to get more info - presume it's a vinyl wrap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Giger for anyone who isn't familiar with him - http://www.hrgiger.com Think "Alien" etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Interesting, not sure if I like it. I like too like his work and the supra, but together....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 I think I would have liked it more without the red bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayney Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Not sure I like this one though, I love the though of pushing the boundaries of whats possible. But this I think is too far! Dont get me wrong I love print designs on a car, but all in good taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 The red bits throw it a bit and there doesn't seem to be much structure but I bet it's one of those things that is more impressive in the (decaying) flesh. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Not keen on that. I was kinda hoping for some monster sculpted bodywork, now that'd be cool (and damn heavy and you'd never dare drive it...but hey) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmx1lew Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 from a distance it looks like a car with graffiti on, not my cup of tea like looks rather cheap tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I'm with you on that one.... I like the giger artwork HOWEVER I'm just not a fan of 'busy' paintwork... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Yup, appreciate the work involved and its spectacular, but its a wee bit busy for me. There was a BMW 6 series touring car in the '80s (? Martini ?) with full 'X-Ray' graphics, I had a Tamiya model of it. And, just to bore you further, I entered a competition in the early seventies to design the album cover for ELPs Brain Salad Surgery. I didnt win, but Giger did.

supra-lover Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 mmm i was looking into this vinyl wrap stuff, we have a couple of our trucks done and it comes out really good, i was asking the fella if he could cover my bonnet in carbon effect venal, he said it would be no problem and would cost around 120 notes!!! anybody had it done??? worth thinking about, you can have any design you want too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I've been a Giger fan ever since I got my first Brain Salad Surgery LP Alien pushed things further. The supra theme *could* work if it was done a bit more dramatically, and (unfortunately) trade off some function for form. His bio-mechanics work well with exposed pipes for example. So it could be part of protruding intercooler pipes and non-standard ducting. Something like the 'back to the future' DeLorean would work well. Supra sleek aerodynamics --- not so well... this one looks a bit like Carn Evil 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
