Petrol Cover

[SCR48]

Hey All

Im thinking of getting a black and white theme going on my R33 and going the usual with bonnet and gonig to paint my stockies black.... but was wondering what your thoughts are n doing the petrol cap/cover in black aswell... I like the look and think its a bit different and adds a different look to it...

I have grab a pic of a car and just used paint to demonstrate... All feedback welcome good or bad

maybe if you could do it in cf, but not straight black

i think it would look wierd but couldnt you find a wrecked black one and take the cover off and put it on yours that way you can change back if you end up hating it.. would prob be cheaper then getting yours sprayed anyways

Exactly what i was gonig to say.

And no...do not paint your petrol cap black...looks weird...but do go black bonnet and boot if you want...rims black also goes well...good luck!

I kept looking at that picture trying to think of what looks weird, then it hit me, you did the fuel cap on the wrong side

lol yeo.. i couldnt find a decent side pic of a white 33 on google so i just used this one and drew it on in paint hahaha but still gives the general idea of what it would look like

i don't like it, but that's just me

another way to do it without painting it (or having to find a black one to try) would just be to wrap it in cling wrap then put some black contact paper or sticker vinyl on it. that's actually what i did with the front grill on my r33.

i used both white and black decal vinyl to make it look a little bit more like a series 2 grill as i didn't want to paint it and then not like it.

i don't dig the black fuel cover , leave it same color as car

[peterw]

yeh doesn't work do the mirrors black or carbon maybe.

+1

Leave it white mate. I think that would look the best. It would look very out of place being black.

On another note go with the black/look. Just do it with carbon fibre. Bonnet, Spoiler Wing Blade, Window Pillar Panels, Mirrors.

what about...

Black Bonnet, boot, doors, wheels and fuel cap.

LAPD styles...

It would be different.

Try it!

Then post pics

[mad082]

LOL the old "been to the wreckers and got whatever panel was available look"

If your trying to get the "Panda" Spec look, your going to have to make a few other things black, so your cars has some consistency with it.

If you must then Cling wrap it like what mad082 said or just leave it.

[rb30re]

that would look mad in carbon fibre

that would look mad in carbon fibre

would you go as far as fully sik?

[dazzvass]

It would start to look tacky. Like those Ralliart ones you always see on Lancer's and Magna's. XD

[Yo-Yo]

imo it would be like seeing a girl with a gorgeous face...until she turned to the other side and had this dirty big hairy mole on her cheek

not a fan personally but it's your car i guess
