Hi everyone. The first of may was my first official ride with my vert.It goes to Germanys biggest tuning show called tuning world. Here: http://www.tuning-world-bodensee.de/ I had a little headache and hoped that everything goes right but yes its a Nissan, no technical problems everything worked how it should I love it. 2 years after I bought it its finished and I can drive around ....

Here are some pics

I was just thinking about this car the other day!

Thanks for the update!

That lighting doesn't do your paint job justice. We still need a nice sunny day photograph!

Ready for boost yet?

Sehr schön!!!

I can't imagine how many DMs the whole project cost you. The color reminds me of the old 2002 BMWs I saw in München.

Great job.

I did read the whole thread before posting but the early pics aren't working for me and he didn't seem to mention how he got the whole interior in white.

all I saw was a mention of parts getting wrapped in leather (which I'm assuming are the seats and some other bits) but not everything else.

I apologize if I happened to miss this explanation.

The older pics were uploaded with another picture uploader.Dont know why they dont work anymore.All the intereieur was made by the leather man. Dont know how he is called. Works at Porsche and does unique interieurs.My boot cover is wrapped too. Heres a better picture. I thougt that it would be boring to mount the hud there where everybode have it and decided to cut out a peace in the midle of the dash. Also have a picture of it I have round about 2000 pics from the building of my car.When someone needs something ....

oh wow... everything is covered in leather!?!

Are there any problems with how things fit together? example: does the door rub against dashboard and floorboard because of the extra thickness?

That must have cost you a large amount of money; leather is expensive.

Dont ask about the fitment I spent hours and hours to get it fitted. The extra thickness is the problem but it works .... I dont wanna know how much I spent to my vert ... But who cares: I love that car

Yeah, I noticed it too. Fitment is perfect except there's more gap under the driver's side headlight cover than passenger side(maybe because of camera angle???) and another small gap between driver's side rear valance and the bumper. I can see that you spent hours and hours on your car.
