Good old stocker VN! Good to see someone new posting their ride. I wish my door trims would fall off like yours!!

 

[padrickz88]

yeah thanks mate haha they didnt exactly "fall off" the crap that stuck to it took ages to get off....... was hating it but i eventually got it off, pitty the other side paint came off before i learnt how to get it off without taking paint off...
and yeah im not exactly new, just couldnt find good quality pics for a myride thread until tonite

Interesting paint code. My paint code is 1J052 which is Alpine White... Yours is a much creamier colour though, wonder what its called?

 

[padrickz88]

no idea at all, i remember airstrike saying it in one of the threads about color... but cant find it anywhere to find out the name....

o well within the next year or two it should be full white (sort of like yours before yours before the body kit)
