Not sure as is, but with a stickered up body they'd look alright. At least they match the stripe on the tyre smile

To be fair, he did say "coded" and not "coordinated".

Not sure about the color - but suppose it matches the indicators wink
I am liking the tyres though - Dunlop what are they?

I don't think they look too bad, but not something i would have done myself.

But I like the look of the 300zx in the driveway. Is it yours too? Have always been tempted myself

You've been tangoed! Looks disjointed and a bit vulgar to me, sorry.

I knew some wouldn't like it, hence the thread title, but do remember that my car is primarily a sprint and hillclimb car, and doesn't spend much time on the road.

I wouldn't choose orange if the car was a 'normal' road car. biggrin

Will look more 'together' when the vinyls go on.

It's all about being different on track, and standing out. biggrin

Yep, Zed is mine. Hence my P'heads name, TT = Twin Turbo biggrin

I imported it from Japan back in 2001 after deciding all the UK cars I look at were dogs!

Not many unmolested examples left unfortunatly. frown

Great car, seriously cheap to purchase, and, if well maintained, very reliable. I took mine through Europe to Northern Italy and it didn't miss a beat, not bad for a 330bhp, 18 year old car. smile

Nice rubber there Tim, it's enough to give me a fetish wink

I think your cerb needs some matching orange lipstick around its snout, like the racing Astons biggrin

What colour is the paintwork? Looks very similar to mine, which is AM Highland Purple.

My car is 'The Ski-Boot' Cerbera. It is a unique colour, painted by TVR to match the original owner's ski-boots!

Quick update:



Nearly done, a bit more to finish it off. biggrin

Please remember that this is a track/sprint/hillclimb car and doesn't get used on the road much. So please don't slate me for being too chav. biggrin
