    yes thats me, only way im gonna bet behind the wheel of one of those in the near future, and i managed to blag a ride in it too, this one is 380bhp, and her husband has the same in yellow, which is 480bhp. Quite nippy.
    The car was actually a pearlescent, sort of a silver to maroon appearance, looked good with the blue though

    Ive always wanted to do a skyline since i started doing this job. So it was good to do one and it turn out looking so good. I didnt do the design, that was the customer, but I do quite like it, and had planned to use it on my van as some of you know.

    Just thought Id add this, in case people hadnt got the joke, lol

    ITS NOT MY CAR 🙂

    …oooh, some things are just best left alone.

    I’m not a fan of graphics on private cars……keep ’em on the girl racers & rally cars!!

    ps. The chevrons look quite nice, not sure about the stripes…if anything I would have takes them right over the top as they can look a bit like a ‘half done’ job when applied straight, less so if they are angled. (Suggest it – get some more dosh!!)

    Total sacrilege right enough. I.s a class car that needs nothing.

    I have a 350z and for a publicity stunt covered it in graphics – company logo etc they looked great but still detracted heavily from the car.

    If I personally if a customer came in looking for these – I would have said – im not doing it!!!!

    i used to have the same attitude, but gladly changed it to a degree i would compramise, and still put out work i like, and im glad i have done so, turnover has doubled in the last six months 😉 forgot to add give the customer what they want 😀

    if you don’t give customers what they want you don’t work, but at least you can guide them a bit of what they want but mostly what you want . 🙄
