Thinking of ideas around modifications that can be made to the BRM without straying too far from what was intended. We all know the the BRM was inspired by the 60's BRM racers of the Owen Organisation. Trawling though some old pictures I have picked up on a few things that have already been done and a few new ideas.

The orange wing, something that can be hinted at with the use of an orange ZR spoiler like Adams

Most BRM of this era had a white circular sticker with the chassis number like P261 in this picture had 261. Maybe a nice way of showing off your build number?
Also in the above the black and silver bullet mirrors, they could be fitted, not sure how they might look. Many 60's cars took inspiration from 60's grand prix cars so maybe a car like the Rover could be let off for taking the mirrors from a modern f1 car (painted the right colour of course)

Maybe somebody adventurous could have some linished rocker covers made or just a match spark plug cover.

The ofset front number. Maybe for the bold, sticker up your car in the style of your favorite driver from the past.
