Salute from Sri Lanka

Hello Everybody,

It's a pleasure and a real honor to be part of this wonderful club!
Respect to the owners and moderators who invented this and drive it, for today we have a brand identity and a proud culture of our own among millions of motor enthusiasts around the world.

I'm very happy to be part of this great forum and community which not only helps one another but also shares a timeless passion for the Primera brand of Nissan.

My story is long but I'll try to keep it short and crisp.
I've driven a few cars in my life and this is the first I bought. I was the 5th owner of this Nissan Primera P12. It's a 2001 2.0 Petrol make imported to Sri Lanka 10 years ago from Japan. She was in decent shape when I brought her home; interior, exterior and usage after 85,000 Kms. I wanted my first ride to be different and  in the Primera 12, I saw a diamond in the rough. I would cut her...shape her...polish her and carve out her personality which reflects my spirit. The car's stock condition when I bought is also shown below.

Although Sri Lanka too is home to a small crowd of P12 lovers, I wanted mine to be very unique so worked on the exterior for a few months and she's on the road now. The Primera P12 is a very different car in many ways from design out so I'm slowly getting to know her and want to learn deeper on how she operates etc Thre are certain things I have in pipeline to optimize in her. Looking forward to share, contribute and learn!

Cheers Guys!

My Ride: Before & After

Welcome mate.

Like the look of your p12!!!

Did you change the colour, or was it always black? Looks good to me mate

Thanks for the welcome and positive feedback guys

The car was pearl white with beige interior.

Yeah, I thought I'll make it two-toned; hood, roof, trunk, rear spoiler, alloys.
The side skirts and rear bumper are carved, carved areas are in matte as well.

Having a second tone will allow me to blend a theme into the car, even seasonally.
Like I can apply a carbon fiber vinyl film on these areas next year etc

Hi and welcome to the forums Im really liking the look of that alot, nice work. Any other pics

Thanks guys. Here you go



Exterior needs a little more tweaking.
I'm more focused on the interior now...would appreciate your input and advise in certain areas.
Shall start a new topic in Help & Queries Section.
