Payco Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 So today my good friend and forum wrapper Steve wrapped my Nismo bonnet to finish my new look. Once again we cannot seem to get the photos to do the car justice but everyone seems to really like it as I do. Steve's attention to detail is second to none and I cant recommend him highly enough if anyone on here need some wrapping. Thanks Steve. Before 5 Quote
ShortPaul Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Looking good, I think white brake calipers would look good on your car with the make of the caliper in purple 1 Quote
Payco Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 Had them painted gold a couple of weeks back. Hope you are feeling better mate and have made a full recovery. Quote
Whitevanman Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 liking that a lot, would like to see it in the flesh though as I know pics don't do it justice... any plans for the badges? Quote

Andy_Muxlow Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 I like it, and I am looking forward to seeing this at Leeds castle. Quote

Payco Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 They are great rims but something isn’t right. They need spacers but I’m not sure on the polished lip as it’s quiet a wide band and I think it doesn’t flatter it. Going to space then and see how they look then. Thanks for the honest feedback.

Umster Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 @Payco you just can't catch a break eh personally I'm a big fan, you've done great so far and look forward to seeing it now and if you decide to do more work to it! 1 Quote

I actually like the polished lips and agree that spacers are the way forward. 1 Quote
LRF4N Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Yea I would defo say keep the polished rim Theyre just tucked in too far. What widths/offsets did you go for? 1 Quote
coldel Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Polished rim all the way, just get them out from hiding in the arches and you are in business 1 Quote
Payco Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys. I went for the same offsets as stock. 19x10.5 rear and 19x9.5 front. Watch this space, will be spaced next weekend. Edited March 24, 2019 by Payco 2 Quote
LRF4N Posted March 25, 2019 Posted March 25, 2019 I actually like the bonnet, shows the colour well Im surprised at how far the rear wheels sit in at 10.5 wide. The oem wheels must be totally lost Quote

The oem wheels must be totally lost I think the photo is a little misleading. They aren't actually that bad, the dark background doesn't help. 15mm going on front and back this Sat so will send an update then. Photo of when she was stock. Edited March 26, 2019 by Payco Quote
ATTAK Z Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 I love shiny wheels with gloss black centres Quote
Payco Posted March 30, 2019 Author Posted March 30, 2019 With some help from Steve (Zippypooz) we fitted 15mm spacers all round today. Looks much better now and I feel more happy with the look. 5 Quote
Andy_Muxlow Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 That looks loads better. Not that is didn't before though, just better now my good man. Quote
Flashback Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 They were looking a little lost before, nice mod. Quote

What colour is the wrap, and is the bits on the front bumper(sorry don't know what they are called) the same or is that a different wrap? Cal Edited March 30, 2019 by CAL-85 Quote
Payco Posted March 31, 2019 Author Posted March 31, 2019 Wheels are the same colour as the wrap and all the trim is matched too. It’s 3M deep space wrap which is a flip colour so changes in the different shades of light. 1 Quote
