For this last pic i just wanted to show the textured soft touch plastic which covers the top of the dash and doors. It's actually quite nice, but in the other pics it just looks plain.

Like it alot in the lighter green!

Eyma,

The light green seems to be a pretty popular colour at the moment with all the new falcons and commodores. That's why i used it.
It was also very easy to change from the moonlight blue to the Tiger and Lt Green.

Oz,

I wasn't sure what british racing green was. so i looked it up on wiki, and it gave me plenty of examples as well as the RGB values for it. After that it was pretty easy to replicate.
You are right, it is a beautiful colour. The more i look at it, the more i like it.

Tim.

the light green is very popular on mazda 2's

Shambles · **Reply #13: May 28, 2008, 21:56:54**

British Racing Green is an awesome colour which I miss so much on modern cars on UK roads. Sadly, I believe it's in some way "trademarked" which is why "we" see so little of it.

I'd love Fergie to have been BRG but our Korean friends obviously thought otherwise. Still, Mica Black was my choice and I'm happy enough with that

Hi Folks,

One of our favourite cars was our 1998 Nissan Pulsar (in green) seemed to be the most popular colour in that model. We had it for 4 years and did 100,000 Kms (Trish reckons the Tiida is just as good a car overall - but would like a rear spoiler if I can get her one!)

Cheers,

Dazz

Hey Dave... hope u don't mind..

tiny · **Reply #16: July 13, 2008, 19:10:31**

the car looks great, i do not have climatronic,cruise control,or audio buttons on the steering wheel, or those rims,or the steering wheel on the right, but the car is the same as mine

)..anyway..i wanted to ask though, did the sporty pedals come stock or did you buy them after?

Dazzler · **Reply #17: July 13, 2008, 22:15:42**

Hi Echo..

Very clever.. looks great.

P.S. It's actually Tim from Western Australias car (Dave just bought the pix over from the old site) although Dave now has an SR as well... Tim's is Moonlight Blue (Dave's is Steel Grey)

Hemmi · **Reply #18: July 14, 2008, 00:36:19**

cool

tk421 · **Reply #19: July 14, 2008, 14:47:41**

Nice work there echocae,

That's a pretty cool modification. I thought you used a midnight sepia 'action' to produce that result, but i ran it and it came out like this:

...not the same, but i'd be interested to hear how you got that effect.

i also ran my black and white action and came up with this:

For those interested in how i changed the car colour in photoshop, here's a link to the tutorial i used:

Tiny,

The pedals are standard on the i30 'SR' model in Australia.
