Here it is guys i finally picked up my FR:D, first thing i wanna do is get some silver indicator bulbs for the headlight units and then some silver bulbs and smoked lenses for the side indicators as i think it will complement the smooth debaged look. let me know what you guys think.

Thinking of giving the disc and calipers a clean and painting the calipers themselves but can't decide on a colour as I think red as nice as it would look is too common I would like something different to stand out let me know what you guys think.

Well so far I have a forge BOV and a stubby aerial fitted and then today I got my LEDs throught the mail and have just fitted them and have to say they are certainly a lot better looking than the standard side lights

That's the car with the standard bulbs, and below is with the LEDs fitted

Yeah I saw a pic of a r35 skyline with black alloys with copper calipers and looked smart as fook and I've just robbed a new wire brush from work:whistle: so just gotta get the paint

Hey buddy, fancy seeing you on here!!! The car is looking great and I can't wait to see it in the flesh. I don't think I'll take a passenger ride, knowing your driving style :p

Right, down to the colour of the callipers... You could paint the bells of the discs silver (to match the barrels) with black, yellow or orange for the callipers? Silver and yellow (or orange) is an awesome combo. We could do it over a weekend at mine, where I've got all the gear?

See you tomorrow buddy :)

Cheers mate and yeah went up to see James at the weekend and have decided because I'm thinking of getting the nose wrapped like the bocanegra along with the wing mirrors and roof(once I remove the aerial) all in gloss black we both decided silver bells on the discs and black calipers then that way I can go for a silver/black colour scheme which I can carry on to the interior of the car like the door opening handles and the handles as I think it would go well with the gloss black surround on the dsg gears lever.

Well they aren't exactly what I wanted as there is still a slight orange tint to the area but got some clear/silver indicator bulbs which will do for now and when i get some better ones ill put the ones installed into the rear lights and also finally got my LEDs installed on my interior/map lights and I also got my pressed metal plates attached

Before anyone thinks they're being clever yes I know the car needs a DAMN good clean :( but one more quick pic just to show a bit of dedication to the site I've attached amongst others a SCN sticker to the top of the windshield.
