It's all in the details. These Falken Tire liveries may look the same, but if you look close you can spot many differences! This is the essence you have to catch in this round. Photo and livery made by @BLiTZ - (click for full-size)
This Fortnight's Theme
In case you forgot, the winner of round one of The Livery Editor Competition was @BLiTZ, and he has cooked up something really exciting for this third round. Without further ado, let's hear what he has to say:
From Impul's iconic Calsonic blue that's graced Nissans since the early 80's, to Martini's signature stripes dominating the world stage both on gravel and tarmac, there are certain liveries that stand the test of time.
Whilst on the surface the designs may look the same each year, when you look closely at the little details you see that they subtly evolve over time. Sponsors come and go and branding evolves so with that in mind, this round's theme is 'Then & Now'.
Your challenge is to create two distinct liveries demonstrating the evolution of a team's colours using one 'old' car and a second newer model.
Whilst its very easy to plaster the same decals on two different cars, the devil is in the detail with this one and the key is to try and make both liveries look period-correct. So take you time when choosing decals and select versions that are suitable for the age of the car.

4) Zoom in to 102mm (certain cars may require more or less to fit in the viewfinder) and move the camera until you're happy that the car is centred in the shot:

5) Move the focus to the nearest corner of the car (I normally centre on the headlamp closest to the centre of the image) and take your shot.
6) For a shot of the rear, go back to the Car tab and hit R2, switch to Camera and refocus (again I use the tail lamp nearest the centre) and take the shot. If the car has moved off-centre then move the viewfinder and adjust the zoom as you see fit.
For new cars/liveries simply find the scape in your library and reopen and change the car, then rinse and repeat as above.

UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS:
1. Must use one 'Old' and one 'New' model. The cars don't need to be from the same manufacturer or even the same class of racing so long as they aren't from the same year.
2. The liveries can be fantasy or real or a mixture of both (e.g. a replica of an old car and how it may look today if the team still existed or how a new team could have looked if they were racing in an earlier time).
