180sx styling/respray question

[jeff nelson sileighty]

well ive been knocking away at a 180 shell im building for the road and am trying very hard to come up with a colour to go with? ill be going full kouki kit and interior....more than likely ssr meshes which will fit nicely under the arches....the shell itself is white and in one way want to stick with that to keep her looking like it would have been done back in japan when she came out of the factory with the ssr's and nice low???? but then want to go with a nice gunmetal grey or brown or the likes , kinda fancy colours and very low and stanced?? any suggestions at all appreciated :huh::huh::huh:

id go gunmetal grey,it would make it look very aggressive with the right wheals and stance!

A mix between a gunmetal gray and a bronze would look very well too

i think this looks cool

You definitely can't go wrong with a nice Gunmetal grey or bronze, but its getting to be a very common choice of colour in Ireland so i think you need to be a bit different in your choice of gunmetal or bronze to stand out:)

Probably a better picture somewhere but really liking that colour lately. Seen it on an s14 somewhere but cant find it now.

Gunmetal is always good though. Ya can't really go wrong with it.

Ya that's the problem , gunmetals becoming very common so I'm going to have to put some twist on it somehow?? I love the brown on the risky devil 180 but don't know how happy I'd be with having a brown car ?? :confused:

Red, all the way..... You can't go wrong with it. Brown/bronze etc could look shite in 2-3 years time, bit like how black over white etc has gone on s13's

Mmmm see I did think about red but I can't see a plain red suiting the style I have in mind?? Thing is with gun metal its a colour that's always been around and can't see it looking shite in time to come ?

Seen a few brand new BMWs around in a new blue, looks amazing in person I cant find any really good pics of it though. Other than that gunmetal grey looks class on 180s.

gunmetal grey is the way to go
