[urq] urq custom paint jobs

[Robert Pastore]

I'm a fan of flames, especialy ghost flames, and I'm a huge quattro fan. But 
I've never thought flames would look good on the urq.  In my mind, the 
free-flowing curves of the flames don't seem to work on the straight line 
and angular styling of the urq.

But I grudgingly admit that I find the car that Magnus posted pictures of 
interesting.  I kind of like it. It's not the kind of paint job I'd want to 
drive on the street every day, but I'd be more than happy to track that 
car....BTW, I really like the wheels.  Anybody know what they are?

Bob
