The Hillier bros did a red SII XR8 coupe for an employee after the green one, then did the Arrow.

lol is that rouse hill shopping centre?

Edit - actually it can't be - they have those signals above each spot that tells you if the spot is free or not, either way very funny looking!

Agreed, not a fail. I don't mind it for something different. Wouldn't do it if I owned one but it does make it unique.

Each to their own but I wouldnt treat a GT to that particular colour combo. I like both colours but not used like that. My missus wants it though

And in saying that, thats not the car Coyote. The stripes were along the lower part of the car.

Cheers
