Lovely! I think they're really nice schemes!
 I think they all look better than they did initially! |

I don't know but a JAS chassis maybe much cheaper than a Arena one?

Some very nice liveries indeed - I agree with the expert here
 that Arena Honda is very nice even if it does look 'unfinished'.BMW - very classy indeed - notice it has sponsorship from a classic car club or something good match! |

the synchro seems odd as its got a totally different front splitter to the last 2 seasons hondas. The Arena hondas always had the cut aways infront of the front wheels, an idea which MG knicked in 2003. Is the synchro car not a freshly built car that the team have developed themselves from the new model?

Wow so Lego is backing up Arena? That is just soooo cool!! Ditto for the dark green BMW colours. Dark (British Racing??) Green is definitely very rare. I can't recall when another touring car had a green background? The most recent one I could recall was the Sonax(??) C-Class? They were a dark green/blackish colour???
So the BTCC will be more colourful this year?? |

You would think that Lego Racers might be a more appropriate sponsor for Chilton's car (they sponsored a car in ASCAR last year I believe).

Is it just the Synchro paint job that makes it look drastically different from the other Hondas or is the bodywork different too?

lights, mirror and front bumper is different to reflect the road car update
Lego Racers is now an old game and doesn't have a shelf life now. The Star Wars licence is quite a cool licence initself, so much better to go with that. As games have shortish shelf lifes, wouldn't be surprised if this were to change during the season |

Why MG has silver LeMans stripes, not bright green as usual?

They're independants thats why. At media day and the last test day they did have an MG XPower strip across the windscreen but all reference to MG is now gone apart from the badges.
From what I was led to believe they were supposed to have a main sponsor too. |
