spursmaddave Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Not yet, lot to do before that, including full respray And a refurb on the wheel in the pic Shame 3M and Hexis don't do a gloss I think matt has been done to death but at least it is a nice colour Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 Yes, including that! Will soon contact ZMANALEX for callipers powder coated, not sure yet what colour but I guess will be chilly red Quote
spursmaddave Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Yes, including that! Will soon contact ZMANALEX for callipers powder coated, not sure yet what colour but I guess will be chilly red Not wanting to do Alex out of some business but why not get Taras to get them done while your car is being wrapped or sprayed Then you can have whatever colour you like too Taras got my wheels and calipers done Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 Well, Taras the lazy bastard doesn't want to do callipers anymore, difficult job to refurb/recon them, way to much hasle Gosh, can't wait to see the finished product! Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 Left the car with RT-Performance thiis evening, work starts tomorrow. JIC Carbon fiber strut bar available for sale from tomorrow, will add photos in the for sale section. Quote
Daryl Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Car will look immense Adrian,fair play. Can I ask why you are having a full respray before having the car wrapped? Or have I misread something? Keep the calipers the same colour as the car,the photoshop looks really good with them behind the black wheels Quote
Sarnie Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Zed will soon get into the body shop for a full vinyl wrap in turquoise mat, something like this: This is the pic of the actual vinyl colour: So, what do you think? Other upgrades planned: 1. HKS Hipermax LS+ coilovers 2. DBA T3 4000 all corners 3. Engine bay cleaning and dressing - Wasso are you ready to make it shiiiiineeeeey? Wow, love it Quote
GT4 Zed Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Hey Adrian, I am liking you proposed changes mate Always liked you car and this will take it to the next level mate! Although l like contrasting calipers I think the turquoise calliper would work best. Looking forwards to the finished article. Quote
Dblock Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 I like that vinyl. Would you put a gloss clear one over it like that bmw? Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 6, 2012 Author Posted September 6, 2012 Decided to go for chilly red callipers, powdercoating starts tomorrow, strut bar brackets will also be powdercoated in red. Got the MeisterR coilovers today with the front camber arms. Eibach front and rear sway bats, Rare JDM engine cover, Megan racing braces arriving soon, too. Considering SuperPro bushes, probably will do that over the winter, the whole kit. Need to get the fluid reservoirs in stainless still and red + braded hoses for the rest of the engine bay. A lot more to be done Quote
spursmaddave Posted September 7, 2012 Posted September 7, 2012 Well, Taras the lazy bastard doesn't want to do callipers anymore, difficult job to refurb/recon them, way to much hasle Gosh, can't wait to see the finished product! Haha.... he did do mine very cheap oh well I am happy anyway Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 7, 2012 Author Posted September 7, 2012 Just had Santa Clause knocking on my office door with some goodies! Thanks MeisterR for super fast service at a really good price! Eibach front and rear ARB arriving on Monday, just need to sort out what bushes I need now. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 10, 2012 Author Posted September 10, 2012 And another one, from CS this time, thanks for quality service, fast delivery and superb communication via PM! Quote
glrnet Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Since that was a shameless plug.........................I can highly recommend the Romanian smoked ham Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 So pleased Parcelforce didn't let us down... Thanks for the order, Adrian... Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 Found a Nissan... GTR that has the same colour like mine will have: Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 I was also considering matte red, but think I'll stick to the turquoise for 2013 Quote
Jay Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I was also considering matte red, but think I'll stick to the turquoise for 2013 That is stunning, IF I was ever to wrap a car again it would be matt red Defo think that if you are going to wrap a car the best results are with matt wraps Quote
LRF4N Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 I was also considering matte red, but think I'll stick to the turquoise for 2013 That is stunning, IF I was ever to wrap a car again it would be matt red Defo think that if you are going to wrap a car the best results are with matt wraps That is gorgeous. On the right car matt red is nice. The ones shown above look great I saw 2 in the flesh here but on the wrong cars and it looked tacky. A 7 series and an m5, just looked wrong. But on a coupe......

Payco Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Looks fantastic. What front splitter do you have fitted ?. How easy was it to fit to your standard front bumper ?. Regards Martin Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 11, 2012 Author Posted September 11, 2012 Front bumper is an original Nismo v1 Quote
Dblock Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 What sort of control arms are they next to the coilovers? Quote
taras Posted September 11, 2012 Posted September 11, 2012 Ardian, why not do a mix of matte red and matte turquoise? We can wrap one side in one colour and another in other... Or in two tone stripes.. or diagonally in two tone Quote
