haha UV lights in that car would look nuts... but on a more serious note, I reckon that same job in a glossy silver would be nice.

Hmm, thanks for your opinions though, I'm still in two minds over it.

If you haven't made up your mind, then u dont like it, though you don't hate it....

But most importantly.... you don't like it! Well that's what I've gathered from your responses.....

Don't settle on second best... Pay for what you want, don't just get what u paid for.. (make sense? :confused: )

Yeah, I know.........go with you you like....... I'm conservative by nature, but I can just hear the rice boy in me, yearning to come out!

Thansk again for the comments though, its all constructive. I guess I was hoping that somebody could give a great argument to convince me which way to go.

I think what Dr Sigmund Freud here is trying to say is that he dun like it nu should get what you originally wanted.

Not that I dun like it, but when I am looking at getting something for myself, If I dun like it right away, and I am in 2 minds, it is b/c sub-conciously I am trying to convince myself to get it for whatever reason it may be (eg: can't b f'd looking anymore, haven't found anything better, etc). In this case I think it is b/c it has been done already, and although he doesn't DISlike it, it is not what he really wanted...

I've done this, before and many other people have before....

But if I were in this position, I would be happier with a white dash rather than a broken dash! If it is growing on you, then keep it till you're sick if it, then get what u really want....

I'd wait for the new paint dude. That white is just way to out there man. But I reckon it would look choice with the gun metal. Plus you will probably find yourself constantly cleaning the white. My mate did the same as you with yellow (spew) and you can see where it has worn, it looks tragic. Another reason I would go for a darker colour.

Being rice is not about manual or automatic!!!

In fact, manual cars is more rice than automatics because you can change the gearknob easily with the one flashing lights, etc....

Silver goes nicely with std trim, but that cream colour is a bit showy and look out of place with your std seat/door trim. If you retrim your door insert and seat upholstery with cream leather or vinyl then it'll go along very nicely... and it'll look that you're doing the whole lot, not just a patch up job.

haha, looks like a piano or black and white minstril or something!

Seriously though, i'd get rid of it and do something like a gunmetal grey like you said or satin black. I reckon if you are gonna go 'rice' then do it with silver/chrome. Each to their own though.....

I'm gonna get mine done soon too, two pack?

And what did it cost if you don't mind me asking?

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
