So far, we have good images for Tesla Roadster and Vauxhall Ampera. The Roadster is 100% perfect for all manufacturer colours - arctic white, brilliant yellow, electric blue, fushion red, glacier blue, jet black, lightning green, obsidian black, racing green, radiant red, sterling silver, thunder gray, twilight blue, and very orange. The Ampera has good front-angle view images for the manufacturer colours - black, crystal red, cyber bray, lithium white, power blue, sliver topaz, sovereign silver, and summit white. It has only a single xray and map image (and the map image is not very good). We don't have anything for Twizy or Volt at the moment. Both have lots of good artwork available on the web, but would need photoshopping to get them into the right format. The Twizy is most urgent (given the state of progress on firmware support for that vehicle, and the fact we have Ampera images at the moment which are pretty close to the Volt). Any volunteers to help with these missing artwork? Thanks, Mark. P.S. I found this site - http://www.conceptcarz.com - pretty amazing image collection. P.P.S. Samples below, and all original images in car images, car outlines, and carmapimages of the Open-Vehicle-iOS github project.

For new vehicles, to get the images into the apps, we need images in a similar size, orientation and layout.
The images are:
1] The car front-angle view. 654x302 pixels, high quality PNG format. One for each colour to be supported. The background must be transparent.
If you have problems with aspect ratio, try to keep the width the same, and leave space on the top/bottom.

2] The car xray view, 304x606 pixels, high quality PNG format. One for each colour to be supported. The background must be transparent.
You should try to keep the wheels in approximately the same position as the attached picture (in particular if your vehicle supports TPMS). If you have problems with aspect ratio, try to keep the height the same, and leave space on the sides.

3] Car map images. 96x96 pixels, medium quality PNG format. One for each colour to be supported. Car must be pointing upwards (north). The background must be transparent.
If you have problems with aspect ratio, try to keep the height the same, and leave space on the sides.

4] Name of vehicle type
We also need the official name and model of the vehicle type (eg. Tesla Roadster, Nissan Leaf, Volt Ampera, etc).
5] File naming
The files should be named as follows:
car_<type>_<colour>.png (for the car front-angle view) ol_car_<type>_<colour>.png (for the car X-ray view) map_car_<type>_<colour>.png (for the car map image)
The <type> is the vehicle type (e.g.; roadster, ampere, twizy, etc). The <colour> is the official colour name (e.g.; thundergray, crystalred, lithiumwhite, electricblue, etc).
Once we have artwork in the correct format, putting it in the apps is trivial. The primary problem is finding artwork of appropriate quality and style, with a transparent background.
