Thunder will be no more.. kinda sick of the paint scheme now
shame cos i would have liked to have it featured in a mag as it is now... oh well
Lightning struck my brain last night.. and i now have a clear vision of what the car is going to look like
keeping the bodywork 90% how it is now.. maybe changing the mirrors and just tidying up the car a little. making the front bumper fit perfectly is the main objective... also getting a big ol FMIC mounted will be another step that will make the front end look way nicer
going to spray the car all one colour..... BLUE.. gonna get a really shiney blue colour then put some blue metalflake / glitter over the top of it
get some 17" chrome wheels.. not Vaults
then make the interior look pukka pies too.. blue alcantara and stuff like that
oh and im gonna get a center exit exhaust
i just want to make the car a bit more of a show car for Maxlive next year
also make the enginebay nicer to look at and get some more power out of the old girl

Steve, the shiny blue sounds superb, the metalflake does not.
The way it looks at the moment is perfect, it just needs some paint.

Metalflake sounds gay, why don't you save all that money and get another car to play with?

sounds good plan, apart from glitter and chrome
i'd get everything fitting 100% perfect and then get it sprayed all one colour
and as keith says, black rims with polished lip

If you are going to go for chrome rims they need to be bigger than 17s really....
Also cannot believe you are changing the paintwork as it looks amazing as it is! im inspired by your paintjob and wouldnt mind something similar on mine!

well i love the blue that skylines come it.. that looks awesome.. but needs to be shiney shiney
like the idea of diamond cutting the outter edge of a normal wheel.. keep the rest of it just regular silver
