the bodyshop actually asked me to wax it right away so i can see the imperfections. then i can make a list for him do touch it up all for free.

BRGREEN8, I thank you. I've been wondering what nordic green (I mean British Racing Green) looks like with a CF bonnet. The mint blue looks good too.

BRGREEN8 05-24-2006 01:44 AM

uh....... thanks, no problem.

I hate to point it out, but it looks like the color match on the front bumper to the fender is a little more than off. And what happened to the rear end, behind the rear diffuser, it looks like the bumper has been hacked to hell. The details are so important, especially when going to this level of modification. Just my two bits. Those things not withstanding, it looks good, not many NG 8's out there, and even fewer that are modded.

NgoRX8 05-25-2006 06:46 PM

lol.... NORDIC Green!!!!!!!!!

the rear is like that, veilside D1. his car is just dirty and needs some buffing and cleaning. haha

L8APEX 05-25-2006 06:58 PM

well, if the D1 rear is like that, I am surprised anyone would buy it. :Eyecrazy: It looks unfinished, maybe pics after a good scrubbing and waxing would clear it up.:dunno:

And BTW, why is it called "British Racing Green", did the whole bloody car get repainted, or is it just an NG, and not liking the name "Nordic Green"? Sorry, calling a stock color by a new name that you like a little more seems a little silly to me. :Freak_ani But that is just me, I could be wrong. Not flaming, just curious.











And curiosity killed the cat....

NgoRX8 05-25-2006 07:02 PM

im guessing you've never seen nordic green. this green ain't from japan. lol

mkztg 05-25-2006 07:06 PM

that isn't Nordic Green, not from what I can tell in the picture.

BRGREEN8, are you saying you got the whole car repainted another shade of green?

lazi 05-25-2006 07:20 PM

hahaha nordic greeN! haha jk looks good mang

Easy_E1 05-25-2006 07:37 PM

Just finish polishing the car and send some pics in a better light so we can admire the fine color. So far looking good

XDEEDUBBX 05-26-2006 01:16 AM

looks nice mike! i have to see it in person. Why did you paint your wing black?

XDEEDUBBX 05-26-2006 01:34 AM

i was hoping it would have looked like this color:

BRGREEN8 05-26-2006 01:35 AM

to answer people's question about the green, no its not nordic green. its british racing green off jaguar. second, i can see all the imperfection now, the bodyshop is going to order more paint, touch up the imperfections, color sand, then buff it. ( free of course ) bryan: you'd have to see the whole car in one piece, did it pretty much to match the CF hood, thats why my rear's diffuser is black too.

XDEEDUBBX 05-26-2006 01:39 AM

here's the thing, you shouldm't have to bring it back to get it fixed. If they were a reputable shop they should have done it right the first time.

BRGREEN8 05-26-2006 01:46 AM

well i needed the car so i rushed them......... otherwise i have to take the bus to work? its fourty miles one way.

lazi 05-26-2006 01:53 AM

well M1 is a reputable shop, they messed up my car twice. i had to bring it back to freakin el monte. and i never believe there words. they always bs on timing when its going to be done as well

XDEEDUBBX 05-26-2006 01:54 AM

im not knockin on your car mike, im knockin the shop that did it. I mean, if they knew it looked like that why would they even give it to you then knowing they would have to repaint it again?? where's the common sense in this? oh well, if thats their business ethics then let them be. i would never bring my business there ever!

BRGREEN8 05-26-2006 02:15 AM

I AM THE PORN KING !!! meh i just did it for my post counts. hahahaha 1000 posts is soooooo far away.
