Yes it is

Welcome. A descent respray can cost between 2000 to 3000 grand, and with the bodykit it'll cost quite a bit more for fitting as well. You would be better off finding a slightly older z for around the 10k mark and spend as you wish on that, rather than respraying a newer car. You'll lose less money that way.

Hi mate, no problem. Let me know if you want them both and we can go from there. Postage will be free if you have the 2 items, and you can pay through paypal

Give this man first prize

Great idea but we may be a bit biased

I believe its provisionally sold, sorry

Thanks again guys, as i've mentioned before my z is an '04' GT model with close to 80,000 miles on the clock. FSH and meticulously maintained. I'll have a good search this weekend, and send them an email with links of similar zeds for sale.

Just been on the phone to my insurers, and basically they will review the offer if i can show them about 4 or 5 cars of the same age and spec to mine. So far i have looked on autotrader, pistonheads and ebay, are there any other places to look or not?

By the way, if anyone comes across a 2004 sunset z or newer for around the 10k mark, let me know please

I was thinking of getting the car back to break for spare parts. Still got the fujitsbo exhaust and Hks sports cats fitted. Also the DBA front discs and ferodo pads all round which haven't seen more than 2000 miles!! There's always someone on here needing bits of interior trim etc,so i thought rather than the car dissapearing it could benefit other members as a donor car. Just an idea

Try the Nissan dealers or JDM performance. Try not to buy inferior parts from any local motor factors.

If it helps i've got a brand new fascia you can have for 15 quid

Welcome to the forum. Your zed looks the dogs danglies.

Thanks for your comments guys, i'll take a trip down to the garage to see if i can bribe a mechanic to take my exhaust and cats off. Looking at all the ads, i'm struggling to find anything below 11k for one that comes close to my spec, colour and age. So i will try and push for a bit more out of them, even though they have been very efficient with this claim. By the way i'm with Swiftcover and they gave me the cheapest quote by miles just 3 weeks ago!!! I bet they are kicking themselves now

Don't worry Clarkie, i wouldn't consider anyone to be a 'vulture' so to speak. What you are asking for, i've had for sale for a while in this thread, viewtopic.php?f=32&t=19671&p=325783#p325783 and is still for sale. I did mention in another thread the other day that i was selling all the mods off my car!!! Well, as some of you already know, i've decided to hold onto the bits that i've taken off, until i know for certain what i'm going to get next.

It was a 2004 model '04'. had it for a year and it run perfect from day one!! I will be looking for the same colour again and at least the same year, if not newer!!

I wouldn't want it repaired to be honest. I did have a look in the Parkers guide, and with the mileage adjustment its close to the settlement figure i have been offered.

I'll try and contact the insurance company tomorrow about buying the car back, and i'll see if they can increase the offer. As for the mods i took most of them off apart from the exhaust for obvious reasons.

Oh well i had a feeling it was gonna happen, the insurance company has written my car off . They have offered me 9,700 quid!! To me it was worth a lot more, and i'm going to struggle to find another Z in that condition, for that price. The mileage was just shy of 80,000 so thats probably why they valued it at that amount, but she drove like a brand new car and just flew the MOT a week earlier. I'm unsure what to do next, should i consider buying the car back for spares, and/or ask for a higher settlement figure? Or am i just better off taking the money?? What do you guys think?

Well you have Uplands on North rd, and there's another one just under the flyover off Penarth rd, first exit off the roundabout when you see the Porsche garage. The owner has won quite a few awards for his installs so knows his stuff.

I agree with Rob (H5) Alpine is the way to go
