steve_b Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Gents, Just back in the country on Sunday night via tunnel, stopped for petrol in the Maidstone service station and get out to fill up, behind me is a 2007 model in the funky new orange. Just got to have a closer look and seemed to recognise the Reg...L22 UST Turns out to be the press car drive by a Top Gear Mag journalist on his way to the Ring. Had a quick chat and he seemed a nice chap. So hopefully we will get a nice write up. PS The new Orange is far nicer than Sunset, bit like UY with the metallic flicks. The bonnet budge looks perfectly okay, certainly did not look out of place and may even be better than original. Quote
Chesterfield Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 - The GT4 I have on my desktop sports that very number plate. Still not convinced on that orange, but I will reserve judgement until I seeit in the flesh. Will be interesting to see what Top Gear make of it Quote

Love orange cars, just not sure I could live with one every day! Quote
steve_b Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 Chaps it is lot nicer than you would think. Still "in your face" colour but if I could have a second 350z I would now have it. I would also have the new leather now matter what colour was on the outside. Quote

Problem is, that I'd have to get rid of my new silver wheels! Either that or paint em black as you've gotta have black wheels on that colour! Quote
Jacko Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Also, do you think we're going to get a bit of Ford Focus effect with that colour where a lot of the news ones are Orange? Quote
lomoto Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 liking the new orange, not so sure about the white leather seats though Quote
steve_b Posted April 30, 2007 Author Posted April 30, 2007 They are more pale grey not white (is in forecourt at 10pm with flash so they look paler in pic) but suit the car better than the orange or the black I have on my MY03. I could post one with me in it but just realised I have man-boobs.....so will not bother. Once they are in the showroom then worth having a look. Or you could go to the Ring tomorrow and see it in person and he did they they would be testing/reviewing the GTR which he says was really good. Quote
Digsy Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Well spotted, Steve! Nice to see they've gone for the most "marmite" interior and exterior colours for the press car. Quote
GC350z Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Or you could go to the Ring tomorrow and see it in person and he did they they would be testing/reviewing the GTR which he says was really good. Cant wait for the GTR Guy Quote
Digsy Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Those seats are ****ing horrid I have to say Nissan's taste in interiors is very questionable - pale grey, orange or black with orange perforations. If I did this all over again I would get a non-GT and get some custom leather in a colour I like..... Quote
jonathan73 Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 Who in the world has cassettes in 2007? Why is there a cassette deck in this car and yet no mp3 capability? Orange - the new UY? Now that's fighting talk, eh Sarnie Quote

Thats how popular they are with the people with the people in the know We even have one on the mod team now Quote
sl114 Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I love it! I hate the pale grey interior though as I think grey in cars just does not work. As i said all along, i love the bulge. I agree with the fact that it needs Black wheels, that would make it look stunning! Also be nice to see it with a nismo kit Quote

Billy7766 Posted May 1, 2007 Posted May 1, 2007 I'm with Sarnie on this one, those seats are ****ing horrible (unless you plan to go pimping.....) That said I've got orange seats (which I try to tell everyone is 'tan')...somehow they reall go with the black paint job Quote
