Umbrella required

[David keohane]

Can someone please help me out with an umbrella!

How much are you willing to spend? - They come up from time to time, but I've never been willing to part with that kind of memory for an umbrella.

i totally understand what you mean! The umbrella is really the only thing mine is missing and it would be nice to have one in there when people ask me what the little flap in the door reveal is for!

My one got nicked, I have seen similar Nissan umbrellas on ebay but not sure if it will fit. Looks the same size in the pics

It's particularly short; about 10cm shorter than an Ikea umbrella that you only pay £2 for. - I'm very tempted to just adjust mine with a hacksaw.

Someone did this George, bought an IKEA brolly, removed the handle an cut it to suit, size wise and with a flat end, painted the handle black and if I remember correctly, got a small 'nismo' emblem and stuck it on the end. I thought there was a write-up on a forum somewhere but I haven't been able to find it.

There is one for sale in America but its not genuine, it seems to come with a slightly increased size holder. The Ikea thing is a good idea! anyone have a genuine one who wouldn't mind confirming the exact length from tip to tip?

Can do tonight.

That could be where I got the idea from. - I haven't been on GTiROZ for a while; maybe it's time to have a poke around.
