Ceramic coating is honestly the answer. It will lock that colour in and it will look like the paint is wet and glossy for 5-7 years. Won’t scratch and your cleaning process will be done in twenty mins. No need to polish the car. No brainier..Here’s mine. Original 1989 paint ceramic coated. Stays like this. Wash, beads like hell and dries off in a few mins to look like this from dirty . All I’ve done is wash it. No polishing . Think what your stunning car will look like it . Standard photo , no photoshopping or clever stuff. look up ceramic coating on YouTube.

Yeah i've been considering ceramic coating but i dont know enough about it... i pinged my local detailer a message to see if he does it, and he says he doesn't, but also tried to talk me out of it saying there are better things on the market nowadays, such as graphene, or alternative hard coats that are much cheaper and don't require the ongoing maintenance? I need to do some research, but if anyone has any advice please share!!

Most in the UK are copies made by RT Performance at Wembley. Took a copy of Wassos original over ten years ago. Mine came from RTP when I owned the car.

Do quite like the look of the chargespeed rear bumper apart from the ugly JDM number plate recess. Nismo V1 style spats, Tarmacsportz diffuser and custom spoiler lip.
-
If I could find one for sale yes, would do the same as you and have the "bumper tuck" - not too sure how I feel about vents though
-
Couldn't agree more - currently would love to have something with a JDM square plate, a lot of options but cant decide

Thanks Andy.

What point are you trying to make ? It’s not genuine and he’s a scammer !

Nice build so far, looks good Rear bumper needs something to balance the front/sides and the spoiler. Too many zeds leave the rear bumper standard and for me it always looks incomplete and top heavy with a bigger spoiler Even rear spats make a huge difference
-
Looks great!

There are a few things in the plans going forward but that brings us to everything done up until the day this thread was first made Here's a teaser for the future...
-
An ISR burnt tip exhaust was a much needed change over my quiet milltek (much to the dismay of my neighbours) This one is a bit of a love hate relationship as it sounds amazing when WOT but I do find it to make more noise than I'd want while cruising at 70 - hoping I get used to this one
-
Managed to get my hands on some DEPO smoked headlights to make the car look more modern - aside from the fogging issues, I've got to say I'm in love
-
The rear end has looked really empty considering all of the other mods - so I treated myself to a V2 Nismo Style rear wing with a Carbon blade. I won't be naming where I got this from as the fitment of the part and the service I received from the company that sold it to me were far below expectation (plus it arrived 10 months after ordering despite being quoted an 8 week lead time) With some heat (and stronger screws) my spoiler found its way onto the car

With much work outside of the car - I thought I'd give the engine bay some love too - with about 50 hours of hand sanding and polishing - I gave the plenum and timing chain cover some much needed love. An ebay wire harness cover and some high temp paint became the cherry on top
-
I then found myself in possession of some facelift taillights which I smoked and some LED sequential indicators to boot (+ bumper tuck)
-
This was then beautifully painted by Gavin Pink At The PaintShop (10/10 would recommend - the finish was like glass)
-
Despite the wheels and the lows making the car stand out - I still wanted something different. So I went for a Nismo V2 (replica) front bumper because I like the way they look and haven't seen them on many UK z's
