Gold-Plated R35?!

Sheeeiittt, Fuh real?! Pass some friggin' dough this way man...

Nissan Builds A $266,000 Gold-Plated GT-R For The Middle East



Nissan Middle East has just put a new Nissan GT-R on the market. Officially called the VVIP edition, it has a custom sound system, a leather cabin, and gold trim. We'll call it the GT-R Brougham d'Elegance.
To be fair, $266,000 (Dh977,000) is how much the GT-R VVIP costs with all its Dh150,000 in options. You could saunter into a Dubai dealership and walk out with one of these 550 horsepower luxury supercar slayers only $225,000 poorer. That's how much the previous Gold-plated VVIP cost.

For that you get the finest in 1970s luxury, with a specially-tuned Bose sound system, 24-karat gold trim, and German leather trimmed according to Japanese tradition and available in 12 different color combinations. The drivetrain is stock 2012 GT-R. Carbon brakes and a titanium muffler remain on the options list.

You can get a look at the interior trimmings of last year's VVIP edition in stunning cocaine white at wheels magazine.

Project "Kermit": front "Frog" lights and wings...

My front fog lights kept blowing out and trapping water in them. So, I got these Projector Fog Lights after reading a thread on the NorthAmericanmotoring.com forums. The thread started seemed to be very pleased with them...



"They are a considerably more solid than I expected, and to my suprise and delight they're mostly metal, and the plastic parts seem to be pretty dense as well (something that the factory fog lights really aren't)"


Two day ago, they arrived, along with the JCW carbon fiber Aero wing.

Project "Kermit": Progress so far...

Now that the festive season is finally over, "Kermit" can finally get some work done on it...

Car has been sent back to get the diffuser painted and some other miscellaneous stuff sorted.

I also managed to find this brand new wing/spoiler on ebay. The title says "Alta Performance Mini Cooper R53 Carbon Fiber Roof Spoiler" but upon closer inspection, I believe it's a JCW item! It was being let go for US $399.99 which I think is a steal now that this is a discontinued product.
