Completed D1 GP HKS Hiper Silvia

Andy Jones · 08-24-2005, 11:03 AM

One of my favorite D1 cars - just straight out of the box with the addition of the racing harnesses. In common with all the D1 series it's just got the standard interior (which I was too lazy to try & correct but you can't see that much when it's all together). On the plus side I think they've captured the bodykit well & even has the eyebrows moulded into the front lenses. All-in-all I'd say one of the better D1 releases so far in the series.

PS/ I can feel a street version coming on

Thanks for looking
Andy

Should´nt this one be in the motorsports-section? Nah just kidding

The car is looking great Andy, as always a very clean impression. Think I´m in love with those taillights!

Cool job! I like this car, does it come with those rims? (könig MP3 or something?)

Stunning build! What paint did you use for the center of the rims?

I sprayed them silver and then transparent red - if anything I probably put on one coat too many as they're a little bit dark.

The rims & the sponsor decals seem to vary from time to time -

I guess either red or yellow for the rear rims would be correct

Yup. I like the all red ones better. The other ones looked too Ronald McDonald for me

Excellent build

I wish they would sell these wheels in a smaller size

Their just too cool to miss out on due to how big they are

Whamy!
