Barbican ride-pimping campaign winner
While dumb shows such as Pimp My Ride become repititive after five episodes, it inspired drink-maker Barbican’s Supe-up Your Ride promotion, which offered regional owners of crappy cars the chance to win a free refurbishment and customisation of their ride. During their 3-month promotion, visitors were asked to upload videos of their old beaters on clipatbarbican.com, and other site visitors voted on which ones should be customised. The winners included this R32-spec Nissan Skyline GTS.
The exterior was given a full body kit, paint job, xenon lights, 18-inch rims and under-body neon lights. The inside got a full-leather interior, including dash, panels and woofer-box, a state-of-the-art sound system and more neon lighting effects.

That one’s the car that came out in 1990. Not a GT-R however.

If I was the guy i would have told them to upgrade the performance also. And Mash, is there any news on a new Supra other than the future review??

There will be a very expensive Lexus sports car, but other than that, everything else is just rumours.

A really good job on this car. However, the front bumper doesnt look all that great…they could have gone for a better design.

lol saad thats what i meant by sheep in wolf’s clothing. all they did was make it look good. nothing done to the engine etc.

The after effect looks pretty sad…please do not tell me that those are blue and white interiors - they made this car for a pansy!!!!
The original black with gold rims gave a mean look - shd hv done a black metallic job with air brush flame done. stuck to the gold rims
Even a plain momo steering wheel, aluminium pedals, a chunkier gear stick with a short shifter are base modifications….
THE HANDBRAKE IS BLUE!!!!! OMG!!!!! get outta here
maybe the pictures don’t do justice but a pretty sad job. I’m sure there is no tuning done on the engine. The skyline has amazing scope for engine tuning.
Blue handbrake..hahahahahaha. I guess the small orange type button to the left of the steering wheel on the dashboard is to SELF DESTRUCT incase you get insulted too much…
