My GTR and my mate's GTR... so different - Page 3 - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Shiny gunmetal grey does it for me - and I'm another one who doesn't mind original orange indicators

Zabijak · 28th August 2007, 12:46 PM

I prefer the gunmetal...
The white one is ruined in my opinion

Major_Sarcasm · 28th August 2007, 02:47 PM

It's very interesting to see the split of opinions on here. I'm pleased that no-one's slagged my mate's car off, as I did say 'Just for fun' in my first post.

However, I thought I'd see more people voting for Brian's white GTR. The photos probably don't show it in the best light as it looks quite something in the flesh. As I've said before, not my cup 'o tea, hence the reason I drive the sober one, but I can appreciate Brian's for his attempt to be different.

I prefer them to the old-style projector jobbies.

Don't get me wrong Major, I do like your headlights (just incase my post came across differently)

It's just I prefer your friends, just my taste I guess ?

Nothing seriously wrong with Brians. The bonnet is nice but I just personally don't like black on white. Not sure on the canards either and the wing needs to be a bit more subtle.......

Like mine

Seriously, my wing was black and tatty when I got the car. So before I ran out and spent a fortune on a GTR wing and moving the mounting holes on the boot back to where they were before, I thought I'd spend a few quid on spray paint in Halfrauds and it looks (a bit!) better. Certainly a conversation piece

Major_Sarcasm · 28th August 2007, 06:56 PM

Tasty R34 that, wing really suits it.

Major_Sarcasm · 29th August 2007, 12:17 PM

No, for once I was being serious

Miness · 29th August 2007, 01:18 PM

the grey one looks the nuts imo,i personally hate those big wings ruin the car for me

Smoky Nagata · 30th August 2007, 11:51 AM

indeed the white one .. much much better

6speed · 31st August 2007, 08:11 PM

Grey. No doubt.

Marky_GTSt · 1st September 2007, 02:50 PM

Voted for Grey... I allways like to see just a few small mods to make a car individual, The white one is fine but it just isnt really my thing.

WIT BLITZ · 1st September 2007, 03:34 PM

I like yours because I like a stock looking R32. Like Marky ^ said.

I am not a love over the smoked indicators, and would normally choose the origianls over them, but with the N1 lights, they go well.

Mine was Grey, but I decided to lighten it up a bit when I did my recent refurb.

Canards are never cool unless you are actually running in DTM.
