Matte White, Matte Black and Chrome GTR's - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Hey folks,

Long time reader, first time poster

My colleague and I both bought our GTR's back in July, and have now finished with the wraps and had a photographer down to take some pictures so thought i'd post some pictures. Mine is the matte black, his is the white which he wasnt so keen on so has now had it chromed (the tart!!)

We've both had the wheels painted, and i've now had my calipers done in white too. I've also moved the plate to the side same as the white.

The white / chrome one also has Milltek Y Pipe, HKS Cat back and HKS Dump Valves.

The pair of them together

Got me calipers painted in this one

Just mine:

Just the white

and now chromed!!!!

That chrome effect looks awesome is that still a wrap?

Matt black is full of win !

Vestitas · 10th November 2009, 04:37 PM

Yeh the chrome is a wrap - done by raceskins up near Leeds - took 2 weeks to get it right!

Nice Pics,

Interested in how the rear lenses were darkened???

Regards

The painter smoked the rear lights with Smoke Film (think that's actually what it's called).

Mad!

Are you in Sheffield?

LiamGTR · 10th November 2009, 05:15 PM

That chrome looks really bad the white looks so much nicer wit hthe black at the back, and matt black is always a winner

Now thats a Pair! - I love the 1st and 3rd pic - Opposites attract!

White calipers - something different I guess?, they look good too!

I really do like the blacked out features on the white one especially the lights!

On the chrome GTR, what ducts are being used at the back - above the exhausts? or is it a new aftermarket rear bumper?

agent-x · 10th November 2009, 09:15 PM

awesome mate

all three colours

chrome certainly turns heads and its different but i think i might have kept it white

would have been a close call though

Lindsay Mac · 10th November 2009, 10:38 PM

Great photography, think that matt black is the dog bollocks. Not keen on the chrome way to Chav for me!

Vestitas · 11th November 2009, 09:29 AM

Hey,

Actually live up near Leeds (where the photo's were taken), so not too far from Sheffield!

The rear bumper is standard - the bits above the exhaust have just been left the original black.

Cool! Welcome to the Wrap Club (although I know you actually had yours done before mine).

Who did your colleague get his Password:JDM rear wing from? Any issues? Shipping costs?
It's on my shopping list.

I was initially approached to do mine in matt black or white, but I'd already seen pics of both and decided to go, er, different...

Portnoy · 11th November 2009, 12:45 PM

Ballpark cost?

They both/all look awesome.
