My Yellow 180sx.....

About time i got around to putting one of these up lol

Close to a year on down the line I feel like I have a totally different car to the one I begun with.

After near on 2 months in JCR in limerick (Thanks Mr Credit Union) I couldnt be any happier with how she looks. Needless to say I have put my own touches on it from what it used to be.

It was sanded down and stripped to bare shell and the following done:
-Bodywork generally tidied up, dents etc.
-Front bumper tidied up like new
-New Origin Streamline back bumper (thanks lorcan)
-BN Side Skirts
-Origin 3 piece carbon fibre lip spoiler. (thanks lorcan again :D )
-Carbon Culture bonnet.
-Original type x spoiler removed and holes filled.
-Rear wiper removed and hole filled.
-Aerial removed from quarter panel and hole filled.
-Arches rolled to make way for future sick rims :D

Thats all I can remember at the moment. Then everything went to spray, the roof went a glossy black, as did the mirrors. The rest is a nice yellow I searched for and picked out :) top half will look even blacker when I get money to fix up the tints, and one of my major priorities at the mo is the CHRONIC bad need for spacers. The wheel setup is uber gay at the minute. Its all money though!! New wheels are on the saving list.

Enough talking.........(pics compliment of C-rex. thanks buddy!)

The plan is to get new wheels altogether so im thinking i may aswell suffer the gayness and put the 200 towards wheels. Damn this student life!! :p

Clean machine alright! That colour is lovely!

Needs nicer wheels and lowness! And to lose the indicators in the bumper and the RPS13 on the back looks funny! Not feeling it or the front bumper :D Is it a "Vanquish" one?

Do you mean the parking lights dude or the actual separate indicators?

RPS13 was put on to break up the yellow, it just looked too yellow almost without something on the back. A nice custom design with anthracite grey. Quite like it :)

Not sure on the front bumper, its there since i have it, nearly identical to the origin streamline bumper. I was going to change it but when it was sprayed it really grew on me :)

Mine's all the one colour, think it looks sweet! I think yours would look super cool because of the spoiler! But if your happy then leave it as is! ;) Any interior or under the bonnet shots?

Not at the moment bro, nothing mad under the bonnet, was due to get the rocker cover airbrushed but the rocker cover I ended up with is a vvt one.

Interior is still in the early stages, pillar pod with 2 sard gauges, boost gauge on the dash. TT under the column, thats about it. Standard Kouki interior. Know of any 180sx mats around the place?
