Right guy's the time has come to refresh my car, I'm going to strip the graphics off, and start again.

Any one have any ideas on what to do next? I have my own ideas which I will probaly carry out but interested in thoughts on here.

Are you thinking purely cosmetic mods/paint job, or mechanical mods too?

The engines pretty sorted so I would guess your thinking cosmetic stuff. Personally I would go with a black respray and a set of good looking forged wheels. I'm not a big fan of graphics but can appreciate them on some cars. Have you thought about buying a GTR? With the state of the market now is a good time to buy and you said you've had some offers.

Not interested in a GTR. I drove both GTR's and GTST's before buying my Skyline and preferred the handling and rear wheel action of my GTST. Could have been tempted by a R32 GTR, but I sticking with mine and going to pour more money into it.

Purely cosmetic. Mechanical mods are being sorted, so don't need any opinions on them.

Just take the graphic off and see what you think.

I think your car will look great with no graphic.

I think these thinkgs look pretty cool in white - the R33gtst near me looks great (and I'm not a fan of white cars).

I've often thought about what to do with mine in terms of cosmetics and I quite like the idea of some custom artwork (airbrush)... It'd have to be subtle though - somethng you can only see if thelight's right. Bit like the cover to metallica's black album...

White with a violet flip looks great in sunlight and artificial...

I've always thought the R33 looks good in red:
