This is just a guess but i'm thinking he painted 'nissan' on afterwards :roll:

 

[edk]

heh I think you can get stickers to go on them. am I right?

 

[antodeco]

You got it in one!

 

[Darren198712]

As warranty/Nissan decide, Im leaving everything covered by them for the time being

They're the very ones! Just make sure they are slightly heated if putting them on, otherwise they wont stick!!

my bad

looks tidy, just bought a set of these Puppies, will get them on in the summer i thinks!

I always tend to miss the N16 owners ride's threads...

Nice car dude! What's the sit rep of the car at the moment, mods wise?

 

[antodeco]

Newest edition, a new strut. Engine needs a bit of a clean, but its just been overhauled by nissan, looking to fix something on it

Not a huge amount of engine mods at the min. Was trying to sort out my engine issues under warranty, so didnt want to void it!

 

[antodeco]

De-badged, but needs a bit of a wash!

Is there any way you could maybe tint the lights at all?

The red/pink just seems to mess up the black.

Like the wheels...

p.s. 'Mon the N16's!

 

[Eire_N16]

Car looks great man, where'd you get the front strut? Notice much of a difference?

 

[supersan]

looks sweet so far. what's next apart from under the hood?

wish i could find a nice black example, i got 1.5s so i'll be looking to spray sidestrips and new wing mirrors.

keep it up!

yes window/glass tinting spray works a treat for this exact reason!

makes it look against the black and doesnt spoil the light

just go gently with it!

even spray across the ligghts building up a cpl of layers!

also works great for side indicators!

Yeah the p2 rears are not the greatest. Would like to see what they look like for real tinted. I've tried 'choping mine but always end up liking the look of p1 lights more. I've thought about painting the inside of them to match the body colour.

I have the windows tinted now too, all round, makes the car look alot meaner, especially against the chrome mirrors. I also have a small bit of chrome detailing on the front grille (seperating the base of the front bumper and the grille). Subtlety is the key!

I want to get the rear lights tinted, as mentioned, they look fairly poxy the way they are.

Next to do:

- Smoked side repeaters ordered. Already upgraded the bulbs to pure white. Looks tasty at night!
- Ordered 8000k HID H7s, so will put them on soon!
- Fix the big dirty scrape/dent along the rear side panel. Had a fight with a wall reversing! lol
- Replace the backbox with a smaller dual pipe (A3/320D style)
- Drop it down, more than likely with the Apex Suspension Kit
- Dependant on the drop, may get a front splitter.
- Possibly get some retro lighting put in for the rear, as its way to dark in the back (Poor lil one sits there in a lot of darkness now!)

Thats pretty much it for the next 2 months. After that, I will decide more.
