Stew Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I also really hate to say this BUT on a white car I can honestly say I can't appreciate the work that was put in on the paint...... White doesn't do it for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 amazing attention to detail, the door hinges !! i've been in one of these vxr's and they sound great, they pop and bang like a rally car, iirc the exhaust is remus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 if god is in the detail, this guy deserves to live in a church Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I'd be afraid to drive it after all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 It is great what he has done. I'm not the biggest fan, my mates GF has a red VXR. The guy has a talent (and severe OCD!) and the finished result is great. If the car had been black I think I would've appreciated the attention in the paint detail.

Z Boy Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Don't get me wrong, I hate swirl marks and stone chips and I try to really look after my paintwork but that's just rediculous. I wonder if he ever parks it anywhere public? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the car had been black I think I would've appreciated the attention in the paint detail. his previous vxr was blue iirc and he did a similar detail on that straight from the showroom ott for me but each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 I must admit that I only did the first page. :scare::scare: Cars should be driven "The car is my daily drive and in 3 months so far i have racked up 5000 miles...It will do on average 15,000 miles a year yes so not pampered in the garage.."

DJsickboy Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 A bit OCD!! Jeez where does he get the time to do that? and all that work on an Astra? Should get out more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise my car is my daily drive and whilst I can appreciate this attention to detail, when the car is in everyday use on roads that are nearly always wet, what's the point?

Ekona Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 There's plenty of quality work there, but am I the only one thinking that, with all the chrome bits and logos and 600s and chequered flags and whatnot, it looks really over the top? Sometimes less is more. For the amount of money he's spent on that car (gotta be close to £10K I'd have thought, plus the cost of the car itself), he could've had something really decent. Still, if he ever gets bored he's welcome to come and give mine a quick detail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your missing the point of modifying. I am sure the same could be said about many 350z owners on this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure the same could be said about many 350z owners on this forum +1 to have something unique and be able to say "i did that" the guy obviously gets a lot of satisfaction from his work no matter what he bought if he couldn't mod it he would be bored and he would have to change his username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 No, I do get the whole point behind modding, but most of his cost was spent on stuff that doesn't actually do anything performance-wise, and that's bordering on rice more than anything. Besides, it's one thing modifying a swift RWD car into something stupifyingly quick, and another entirely to chuck some more power into a FWD scrabble-wagon.
