Hey all

Im getting my front lip repaired and painted on my 33 GTR.

But i cant work out what colour to paint it?

Tossing up between, white, black (gloss, matt or semi gloss)

The car has black XD9s on it and adding a frount mount (shiney) soon.

Ideas?

I've gone Satin black rims, Satin black intercooler and Satin black engine bay on a white car and i love the result! Its a tough look without being overstated....

Just make sure your happy with the decision and not just going on others opinions..... :D

yer true mate...

i havent seen to many with white lips.... but if i went white lip i would get the black inserts that go in the bar around the indicators... the name of them alludes me now.. border items i think... but if i kept the black lip i wouldnt do it

Either way i think it will look good! I would weigh up what you want to do with the cooler though too, do you NEED shiny? Do you want to attract attention? A nice stealth cooler is probably better for less attention from the boys in blue but it really depends on the mods on your car as to whether that is a concern or not?

Dude if you want an "alternative" option which sort of blends with your options together and adds in some practicality also you could try something like what i got.

try a stoneguard finish, alot of the new cars have these for side skirts front and back lips etc etc, its like a mottled/wrinkly sort of finish.

I wanted mine in the flatt black as per OEM how they came from factory however dumbass repairer colour coded it back to gunmetal grey which actually looked awesome.

If you want some pics mate, i probs have some around somewhere after it got fixed up.

the stuff also protects against debree, stone chips etc etc hence 'stone guard' lol. and looks hot in the matt black finish.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
