Basically a new GTi there. Lovely.
I assume that the last photos make the red look bluer? Looks more red in the paint shop?
Personally I'd go for simpler all-black wheels and the whole lucino grille in the same black as the trim.. and deglobe the indicators.. but that's just personal taste. It looks great.

In a word... thanks!
GTi... you insulted me mate!
That's a VZ-R N1 Nismo!Blue-ish? Not... that's because of the other car, it is not at all blue-ish. This colour has undertaken much consideration for that... I don't want to look like Superman.
As for the wheels I consider some time in the future to respray them. Grill should be red according to my taste, otherwise it looks like its been taken from a wrecked car. I won't bother for the indicators, already did once... its risky.
Thank you for that. Your car also looks great.
So today I tinted the glasses with ASWF 35% all around, well except the front windshield. More photos were taken from all angles, with and without camera flash:
As a matter of fact, yes. Don't forget to click onthe photos for high quality.
Whoops! My bad, was past 1am
- yeah this looks, goes & handles better plus it stops quicker tooAll suggestions welcome... I thought about it really. I didn't like the black because that would look odd as well, totally white equally odd. Silver-ish or red to match either the Lucino lights or the body looked optimal to me.
I look forward to fit the rear whiteline sway bar replica, this way it will be more complete.
On normal vz-r's the boot strip would be body coloured with either silver or gold writing body colour dependant from factory, I agree it looks out of place a little there.
also I would fit VZ-R rub strips on the door as they cover the entire length of the door and for me have a better look but maybe not to the owner.
Absolute stunner of an n15 there thats for sure tho!

If I had to have so much a stock and genuine VZ-R I would import one from Japan or Cyprus at least.
Now that I literally create on my own design then I think GTi strips and silver boot strip wouldn't hurt. I wanted to have the letters detailed but its difficult to reproduce in a resprayed one.
