Show Off your liveries in detail - Show & Shine

SHOW & SHINE - NO COMP, JUST FUN!

Share with us your finished liveries, ask for feedback, suggestions and ideas.

If you have a reason or story behind why you chose it or what your goal was, share that too! As a community we should feel free to express our individuality and identity this way.

Only positive advice welcome, in the end it’s personal choice how others display their designs and if people want feedback or suggestions they will ask, I’m sure there are a lot of mentors that can guide others starting out, who want to learn the art behind it all and get the most out of the editor.

I hope to see some unique, creative and innovative designs here, thanks in advance.

ACT - Nissan R32 GT-R V-Spec II '94

This concept was based on a combination of NFS / Midnight Run dark blue and turquoise colour accent colour scheme on an original Nissan white pearl base.

The purpose of this design was to give the car an overall glow effect during dark or night races.

This is the first in a set of Nissan livery designs, the next being an early Silvia.

I tried to get sponsors that matched the early JDM era, the dragon feature on the rear will be a continuous theme throughout my main throwback Nissan collection.

I chose to use a fine lightning bolt to break up the dark blue. It took a while to get it how I wanted it overall but the results look amazing on track in all lighting conditions, tunnels are were it really glows.

Happy to share any ideas about the Nissan series or one off livery designs. Stay tuned for the Silvia, stay toasty!

Sponsors: ACT, Toyo Tires, C-West, Nismo, Forge, Enkei, Motec, Bilstein, Trust, Turbosmart, Injen, Sparco, PS.

The Rays - Nissan S13 Silvia K’s Dia ‘90

#2 in my Nissan series, the concept was to continue the rear dragon feature that started with the R32. This time going all out on the styling to create a design that could easily fit as a magazine cover with a bright orange base colour and a black tread pattern across the bonnet and front fenders.

The ECU chip overlay on the doors is a lot more noticeable than the one on the R32, I wanted it to be seen clearly and seem as if it was integrated into the paintwork.

I intended to create a real head-turner no matter if it was bombing around on the track or just sitting still, looking pretty.

I had a lot of fun picking the sponsor set for this one and wanted something unique, all the decals were done after selecting the body kit, the aero and rims which tied it all together nicely.

Can’t beat the glowing breaks and yellow headlights, during night runs … not to mention the turbo lag during peel outs on the corner exits to set it off right.

Can’t wait to start on #3, I have a few ideas such as the 180SX but it’ll probably reveal itself when browsing the garage.

Had to drop a low booty shot with that cannon!
