Hi, yes it’s pearlescent white, never an option in the UK but I imported it as a very good example from Japan and have had it fully restored. The headlamp washers weren’t an option in the UK but were in Europe and Japan. The only other difference to uk spec are the side indicators.thought it was LE or plus. Still love this design and be interested to hear how it compares sitting next to the GT.
Is it that pearlescent white? Did you add headlamp washers? any help with lighting is a bonus on this car
Previous owner fitted 25mm drop only on the rear.Neptune’s for me. Loved them on my first GT and think the detail suits your car. Assume it’s lowered?
I bought the GT with Astros knowing that I would want to swap these out for Neptune’s. However, once the car had arrived the Astros grew on me quickly and had me pondering whether I really wanted to change alloys. As is already sourced some Neptune’s (thanks @dickygrace) I went ahead and bought them, when the freshly refurbished Neptune’s arrived looking amazing, they were fitted.
I think they look stunning and it’s how I envisaged the car looking prior to buying it, but whilst I’m happy I can’t help thinking that the Astros looked equally as good on the car. Maybe it’s the colour combination that is helping.
What do you think, see after / before pic below.....?

Do you know which springs these are? Hoping there might be a receipt in your service history..Previous owner fitted 25mm drop only on the rear.
Good points. Initially I always thought the Astros made the car look like it was lacking something, but in person they look great.Astros for me....The colour is better and I love the design.....Neptune’s have not aged well for me but hey we all like different things. Perfect stance by the way. All GT’s
should have that suspension drop. Look so much better.
Yes I have the details and will send you a pmDo you know which springs these are? Hoping there might be a receipt in your service history..
I definitely need to do something about the huge arch gap on the rears, I’ve got spacers on and it’s even more obvious now.

The Astros are actually OEM Dark Anthracite, so a Metallic dark grey. I think the pictures make them look black, but yes they are darker than the Neptune’stop photo for me, mainly because the black gloss looks awful in my opinion.
Now you have changed the wheels we really need to discuss your caliper colour.I bought the GT with Astros knowing that I would want to swap these out for Neptune’s.
