Hi Brian I think one of your images is missing, I see the coding for it but no image so when I say I like the 2nd image it may in fact be your 3rd image.

The feathered like Wings look rather cool .... Skippy

Thanks for the comments
Bob- yes metallic gey/silver (like 50% of the other cars on the road)

Skippy- think I've cured the missing shot.

Thanks Phil.

Re the car- think it's partially a position thing - parked between houses which acts as a slight wind tunnel and excepting summer it's shaded by the other house. I'm pretty sure insects land on it and then get stuck because the cold body sucks the heat out of them. A few times I've got those tiny wasps to walk onto a leaf and then moved the leaf to a sunny position and they take off straight away.
