    Yeah I've thought about the gracer skirts. If a set come up I might get em. The wheels I don't think I'll ever sell. Have recently had thoughts of doing them black so that's an option. Am also looking to getting a second set of wheels too.

    Are the skirts and rear splats on you white inspiration the gracer ones Chris is on about? They look really good, a lot deeper than normal.

    Yours definitely looks better with a grill. Can't dicide wether you should black up the side lights tho? Would it look better?
    Not sure on the skirts on the one I posted will have a dig around tonight see if I can find out.
    I did think about black skirts but think personally looks better with skirts kept white. What do you think?

    Thanks geez. Can't wait to drive the bloody thing now, so close too.

    Agree with Chris, slightly deeper skirts to meet the line of the front splitter and boom!
    As said above I think I might keep an eye out for some, quiet rare though so could be waiting a while.

    White skirts for me. The black bonnet ties in the lip so black skirts aren't needed imo

    Yeah that's exactly what I think. Rear bumper would look out of place then lol. Unless you have a kouki rear bumper and do the bottom lip of the bumper and spats black. Like Mel said think the bonnet ties in well with the lip. I'm happy with how it is

    Shit, this is so good. Even like the unpainted lip, which I haven't liked on other cars.

    This is so good.

    No black skirts; it'll start looking like unpainted aero.

    Some carbon diffuser action in the rear could balance the black/white theme though?|

    Edit: also just checked Mitch's thread; you guys are both building some amazing cars.

    Nash that looks sooooooooooooo freaking cool! I love it

    You have done an amazing job! I would just put a kouki rear end + kouki spats...hard to find and expensive but would finish that off perfectly IMO!

    Oh and a kouki wing!

    Pretty much like your inspiration picture! I just find that it would complete the so agressive front end really well

    don't worry skirts are staying white. like i said i thought about it a while back but after seeing a few s14s trying to pull of the look i decided against it.

    yeah tbh iv also seen a few other kouki's with the same colour combo and it doesn't look as good. iv had the this vision in my head ever since i bought the white zenki 2 years ago what i wanted it to look like and its come out exactly how i wanted it too.
    yeah iv had thoughts about doing splitters/diffusers etc and tbh i don't think id be able to pull one off. plus I've kinda always liked the look of a plain zenki bumper. thanks for the kind words though mate means a lot. yeah my car is nice but mitchs build is on a different level to mine.

    cheers yang. i know what your saying and i do really like the look of full kouki kits with spats/spoilers etc but as i just said iv always preferred the zenki rear end to kouki. won't be to everyones taste but oh well.

    Kouki front with a zenki rear is the perfect combo

    not a great deal to update on sadly but got a few small jobs done over the weekend.

    first up a few small packages that turned up during the week. some new spire clips to hold number plate and kouki indicators in place.


    bag of number plate fixings


    and finally my new indicator lights, decided to get some better quality ones this time.



    one small problem with these is that the connectors are tiny compared to usual warning lights


    so made up some new connectors soldered to the back of the lights.



    also had to enlarge the old holes a little so they would sit nice and flush, pleased with the fitment though



    back in the car and working perfectly. lights look super bright in pics, bit hard to get a decent pic of them if I'm honest.



    got few other jobs done like number plates on, brake likes working, fog light working, semi wired up a horn, rear view mirror fitted, bled brakes again. also took the car for a little road test to make sure everything is all good in prep for the mot next week. everything seems to be ok apart from a couple things, 1st thing i noticed is i still have a spongy brake pedal, now thinking a bigger bmc maybe the solution but will have another tinker after the mot i think. 2nd problem is the rear tyres a rubbing pretty bad so have just ordered some smaller spacers. all in all not too bad really was nice to finally take it for a drive i must admit

    Cheers mate. Like I said before I've always preferred the zenki rear over the kouki so doubt il be changing. And the skirts I prefer to most others on the market. Like I said I might get some gracer skirts if any pop up but I'm really happy with how the car looks right now.
