early R's

Fire & skill

My current R is one of the first made (08/90) and when it came I noticed something quite strange about it, both side skirts were plain black unpainted plastic, also the front and rear bumbers had the bottom lips unpainted

anyone else have this?





I also thought it strange that if you scraped the satin black off the wiper arms there was a perfectly good chrome wiper arm under there, as if this was the original finish on the first ones . .

Ive got the same with the wipers someone painted mine but its flaking off and there polished, looks quite a reasonable finish too.

think thats the same on all models.nissan probably used a better quality of steel to make the wipers than most manufacturers
