WOW.. What an awesome forum / club you guys have here! Many thanks for taking the time for the replies fellas. It's nice to see you're all so passionate about the cars.
Such a shame that us English are so ignorant to other languages (we only get to choose French / Spanish or German at school etc). I'd love to get more of the NPOC'rs on here but it's the language barrier that will put them off.
I got this far using Babelfish and Lawrence / Robert.
I'll answer the questions asked about my car :)
The gold badges were a dealer option direct from Nissan (and very pricey too!).. If you try your local Nissan dealership, you may get lucky. There is one big downside to the badges though!! Nissan for some strange reason only did the gold badge set in "Nissan Logo" (bonnet and boot) / the word "Primera" - They didn't ever make a gold "GT" badge! I did some digging around and found that the JDM badge for the Subaru Legacy GT, only available from Japan is pretty much the same size and works well. The picture of my GT badge above is indeed from a Subaru Legacy and I got it shipped over from Japan.
Yep the colour is Nissan standard and known as Nordic Blue.
The GTLE does indeed stand for Limited Edition and I know you all know the GTSE (Mystics) stands for Special Edition. Nissan released the GTLE's to celebrate their success in the BTCC in the late 90's. In the colour Nordic they released 200 hatchbacks and just 100 saloons (of which I have one)... It took me 2 years to find the car. Only differences over the normal GT's are that we got electric windows front and rear as standard, 16" multi spoke alloys, Momo gear knobs and full piped leather sport seats (as below):
My current alloys being all gold, was something I always wanted to try.. As I liked how the gold badges worked with the blue paint. On my previous alloys (18"s again), I had them painted with a gold lip and custom centre caps:
So thinking that worked OK.. I finally plucked up the courage to go for an all gold alloy 8)
My previous Primera was indeed a silver P10, someone has a good memory LOL.
Anyways, I've rambled on enough.. I just wanted to take the time as you all made me feel so welcome (so sorry for a lengthy post).
Here's hoping you guys will deffo be side by side with us JAE 2008, you'll be very welcome. It won't be long till me and the other NPOC Club Owners, will sit down and discuss the club plans and arrangements. We'll be sure to liase with you guys and make this happen!!
Take care,
Shaun
