ae86 vertex kit - to colour code or not to colour code? Mon, 22 November 2004 04:36 Go to next message
Hey...

What do people think on the issue of painting a bodykit on a sprinter white (body colour) or black?

If black... what other little bits do people paint to achieve a good look?

Atm im tending towards white, but the blockiness of the rear bar on a vertex kit makes me consider white...


Thoughts?

Cheers, Dan

well here's mine, basically i've substituted the purple as white, so there is a two tone effect.

I think if it is a white colour, i'd colour code the whole kit white, as i can get away with the darker colours mixed together. If you need an idea, check out Shane's ae86 from Brissy.

haha u love showing that thing of don't u?

not that i won't when mine's finished of course...

yer, i've seen both shane and beau's car. they look very good, but my only complaint is the slightly plain looking rear.

wonder what you can do to break it up? who knows, mightn't even be that bad when it grows on me.

haha so you actually getting a vertex or streeter's kit?

IMO it doesn't look plain - it all depends on what cosmetics there is - like JDM lights and muffler etc.

Use gloss white to break the dullness off

yer a streeter kit. i'm going to contact him today or tomorrow hopefully and see if its possible to put a deposit on the new "version 3" kits he is making when he closes shop on the 4th of december.

the version 3 is mainly just a revision to the front bar from what i can remember him showing me... a few alterations here and there that make it more appropriate for running a fmic and a remote oil cooler, as well as hiding some of the ugly bits usually visable.

he is also pretty keen to get the fit and finish of the kit to a much higher level with this version.

my white is about as glossy and bright as you can get and still call it off white, so it shouldn't be too bad.

How does one prove if its a genuine vertex or not? Is there a stamp or something?

i spose there would be of some kind, but the only real proof would be the fibreglass that is used
