Madmarky Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 As some of you have seen my car today I thought I would share some changes with the rest of you. First of all I made a decision with the recent Envy problems that I can't support a company that is making enemies and place my car in a situation where it may be target by these enemies. I do hope the situation is rectified in the near future tho as I have a good history with them. With this in mind the Envy graphics on my car had to be removed. So i have replaced them with some advertising for a mates Bedford based company owned by the guy who originally supplied my wheels, Andy will know Adrian Longman from his dealing with Boss Wheels. I also decided that I really like the traitors logo an it would look great with my colour scheme so got one made up to go on the bonnet with approval of the Nissan Race Academy. The biggest change I have made is finishing the engine bay, adding lots of bling and colour coding parts to match. Will be adding a custom made grounding cable to it next week, should of had it done by now but couldn't crimp the connectors myself as they are extremely heavy duty connectors so getting a local audio shop to sort for me. First of I painted my throttle body, washer bottle cap and dipstick black, have put a guide to this in the guides section. Finished result I then sourced some polished tanks Also fitted a universal catch can, Orange Samco hoses, Orange universal plastic cable tidy tubing and finally managed to get my carbon battery covers to stay on. I also got some new graphics made up for my engine cover and the radiator cross member. Here are the final results of which I am very happy and is exactly how I wanted it to look. Some of you will know how long I have been waiting to finish this so its a great relief to finally have it done. Hope you like the final result, enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Looked very good yesterday Marky, certainly a head turner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcash5 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Very nice in the flesh, quality of painted items against the orange samco's was really good. Only comment from seeing it yesterday is that im not a fan of those corregated plastic wiring covers, i think they make the rest of the engine bay look a touch cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
