Matt,

That should be ok. So far, in the new arrangement, we’ve done Tesla Roadster, Ampera,ThinkCity, Twizy and Volt. We haven’t started iMiev yet.

Regards, Mark.

I'm guessing your going to do something like a masking image with a transparent silhouette on a given coloured background,  then overlayed with a semi transparent detail layer? A stack of PNGs would do the trick.

They are just too large (13MB+ already!), so I am working on a better way of handling the multiple colours and making it easier to add them to the Apps. Once I have this working, I'll let you know what format we need the images in.
