ZB Gulf livery ideas?

We just committed to the purchase of an HEA car in Zandvoort Blue. I keep calling it gulf blue when describing it. Curious if anybody has played around with orange stripes or other Gulf livery ideas in photoshop? Being a street car most ideas I have would be too much but a little orange is tempting......

I pondered this but BMW never had a Gulf car so I kind of ruled it out. I'd rather do a modern take on the Warsteiner livery if anything.

Cirrus, you already have a GT3, just put in on the Pcar.

In all seriousness, I think Gulf is so associated with Porsche and Mclaren that putting on a bimmer may come across as trying too hard

You do have the Mclaren F1 GTR in Gulf livery (so some relation to BMW with the V12). haha

That's a stretch Mr. Armstrong would admire.

ZB does not resemble Gulf Blue nor is it a Porsche so uncertain as to why anyone would place the livery on a BMW M model? It appears as an attempt to be something that it is not.

Forget livery. Just painting the calipers orange could work though.

I was just about to post this after I remembered seeing this post from last night. I think it would be a subtle way to get the look (and probably the best caliper color for ZB besides black).

I think a orange stripe around the bottom would be nice…
