| thanks man i just changed it a miniute ago i changed the flat bits in the bottom grill to black as it looked like it was to much white for me but now it looks dope... just got to wait for funds for wheels and then ill be chuffed.. also a question.. whats the difference in finish with the window tinting film and getting it done proffesionally??? thanks :) |

you've lost me there....getting it done by pros, they use windows tinting film as well? unless you mean doing it yourself and against pros...unless you know what you are doing...the pros will give ya a much better finish ------------- FAO : Laurens, I am not Shaun.

all depends on how good you are at fitting the film, and where you plan to fit it. Most reputable pro's will only work in their own unit where dust can be kept to a bare minimum. -------------  " rel="nofollow - - Click Here For My COTM Feature - Feb 2010 |

ahh now you mention that it makes more sense...lol....didn't mention dipping at all in your first question...
yeah there are companies out there who can dip them for ya, not sure on the prices though...finish would obvioulsy be top notch...only downside with them is if ya get yer windows done too dark, and are stopped by the old bill, you'll have to get new glass instead of just pulling off the tint...
then again thats all dependant on whether you do the fronts or not... ------------- FAO : Laurens, I am not Shaun. FAO : bavs83, I am not Tan. VZR-CHECK, VZR-N1-CHECK, P11 VE-CHECK, P12 20V-CHECK, XTRAIL VET-CHECK |

haha true but yes it might make it a bit more of a challenge for me but still kinda debating it at the moment... another question.. you know everyone puts the clear repeaters on the side? arent they skyline ones? and if so are they like a direct replacement? and do they fit straight in and then i guess you would have to get coloured bulbs? thanks

I rather like that grill n stuff you've got there mate, got any more pics from a bit further away like. You know, so we can take in the view proper. ------------- |
Posted By: ragt20
Date Posted: 06 Mar 2009 at 12:42pm
yup get the correct ones and its a straight fit, including a bulb holder, as the standard one doesn't fit the R34 repeaters...
and yup at the coloured bulb or ya can get one that has a silver finish, but flashes orange  ------------- FAO : Laurens, I am not Shaun. FAO : bavs83, I am not Tan. VZR-CHECK, VZR-N1-CHECK, P11 VE-CHECK, P12 20V-CHECK, XTRAIL VET-CHECK |

ill be getting some chrome handels for it sometime next week there in the post as we speak and soon hopefully some 18's on it :) ill have better pics tomo hopefully as i say if the weather holds up :)
the top pic is how it was when i first painted the white bit in the bottom grill but now it has the black bits instead of the big white squares as i thought it looked a bit to much... and then the middle bar will be painted silver to match the top grill .. is my plan... yet to see if all gos well but ill keep pics updated when i can :)

Wheels have arrived!! i think they look proper dope and im soo happy with them :), ive painted the calipers but they may be changed again sometime adding some white to them but we will see... ive painted the small writing on the mud flaps i think is a nice touch.. also i have done minor painting on the engine bay , the wriing on the rocker cover, and some of the cable copex and also have braided some of the hoses and painted the various caps around the engine.. hope you all like it :) cheers

| also .. would a induction kit mess up my engines reliability?? as from my understanding.. it allows more air into the engine? and the ratio of fuel to air mix? and also would it mess up the mpg? thanks :) sorry if its a stupid question.. just debating on getting one:) also one to fit my engine?? what do i have to do? just take the airbox off? and elave the airflow meter on it?? thanks :) |

Steve.. Any other mechanical / technical / styling / performance questions are best asked in a separate thread in the General Section matey (with a relevant thread title), this section is mainly for just saying hello So any questions like the one you've asked above will get overlooked (specially given your "yo" thread title).
Cheers, Shaun ------------- |
