I find it annoying Ford painted the caliper including the carbon disc. If I would get such a kit and needed to make up my mind, I probably would have made a small overlay disc with the correct carbon disc color and texture that would fit between the wheel and the colored caliper/disc part. If anyone knows a laser cutting company in the vincinity, such overlay discs would be quite easy and cheap to have made (I suppose everyone wants them, so a few hundreds would be needed at least). I only have a water cutting company in my area, they can cut discs but not punch the small holes for the carbon disc look effect.
Alternatively I made carbon disc decals in the past for my Zonda project. If I know the correct size and shape of the colored disc/caliper part I can redesign these decals to fit on the Ford parts. I can upload or supply the jpg file, so you only need a laser printer (even a black/white printer would do) and white sticker paper. Print the file, cut the stickers and stick them on the disc and you have a good looking carbon disc. The effect will be like this:

I used gun metal for these, but can make a grey background for the sticker files.

Was that good for you?
 
Thanks for posting. Fun stuff, enjoy the process!
 
I'm sorry but this is bugging me, if I recall, you have made this comment a couple times. Clearly you are an expert in scale models by your posts, and your gt90 efforts. BUT this kit has nothing to do with this. This kit is simply a tool to aid in the selection process of the car. Praise, not criticism is in order for this kit.

Back on topic.....

Wonder what Camilo will pick...

Enjoyed the "opening". Now the tough part making the choices. Fun stuff.
 
I'm pretty sure the rotors are colored because it's meant to be a color analysis tool rather than a model. Would be a really small slice of color if just the caliper portion was painted.

I should release the NSFW outtakes from this. It was a long night with many Camilo-isms. :lol
 
Yeah, I can tell from the time stamp of your initial post! It was a long night.
Was this done at Camilo'S !?

I waited and waited some more, yet no pretty lady in over 6 minutes. What were you guys thinking?

Please forward the uncut version. Would like to keep a coy of that along all the promotional and media materials.

Nicely done! And I'll bet there were MANY edits in the process!

Thought the same thing. Clearly an oversight after the editing.
 
That is really cool. Thanks for sharing.
 
Dave. We are ready for the out takes.
 
I wonder what CP application video looks like ?
