Well, a 360 in a S40 livery.
In black and silver it would look like this
Or you could do away with some logos, like this

Lookin good!
Have also contemplated the Silkolene livery as shown here on my Missus's dads old car! is a bit cluttered here but could look good simplified!.. think he'd probably take the piss though!!...
Rallycross fans might recognise the car ... was fairly legendary! 6r4 Bi turbo.... 800hp - 0-60 2.5 sec

You've competed on a stage rally? or were you just service crew?
I was running the stage start on the '05 Spotted Dick & Custard rally, where they had a 6r4 burn out - It crashed and caught light, but the extinguisher wasn't armed. It was a total loss, all that was left was the rollcage, block and wheels

^ shit!
well this was many a year ago and i was too young to be service crew. i must have been about 12/13 or something.
the garage i went with is called Kensington Autos and the guy that drives the 6r4 is called Dave Jacobs.
