Does this mean you dont have to jailbreak your iphone to get new sms tones?

The front tyre pic looks mean as hell - good job mate

i did a direct access about 3-4yrs ago. Bought myself a one year old zx6r (636cc) and MY GOD it was insanely fast - you really cant believe until you experience it first hand just HOW quick you can go. Sold it after a year or so and bought a zx10r - same experience all over again = that thing was an animal! Bikeless now though (sold to save money and get mortgage) but would love to get another. I did ride like a bit of a prat with my mates and got chased a fair few times by certain men in uniform but there are SOOOO many unmarked cop cars now it's crazy! Great fun but risky for license and more importantly, life.

Me too - would love some but think they command a fair few dollars!

Cheers buddy - i am grateful for the offers. At least some folk are bothered eh - not like NISSAN!

UPDATE: Went down to the stealership and the service manager looked at the car. He had the wheel off and spoke with his technicians etc. To cut a long story short...he agrees with me that the scratch was most likely not there when i brought it to them and agrees with me that it was there when i called him 25mins later when i got home. Therefore he reckons it happened on my way home (about 5 miles in rush hours traffic therefore very slow pace) by a stone or something getting caught between the wheel and caliper. What a load of toss - it is almost laughable so i wasnt very haoppy and made him aware of this! He said that he will look around for a quote to get it refurbished (not that he even would accept liability but suggested he may put some towards it, though would not commit to a figure ££). He rang me today saying that he couldnt find anyone who could match the brembo paint. Had no luck directly from nissan, they were trying to get him to buy a new caliper, on back-order, at £1200 each . So now he is waiting for Brembo in Itlay to get back to him with a paint code. Just get the feeling he is trying to fob me off but is there feck all i can do about it??? I aint happy.

This is absolutely silly!!! It's a panel filer so why would it matter if you just change the brand?? ie Nissan vs K&N?? Fair enough if something obvious like an induction kit etc but come on!! If people take this to such lengths then sure if you put ANY other tyre on the car (better grip = increased performance) then you invalidate your insurance too!!??? Does anyone out there have clear indicators? different bulbs? different reflectors? different head unit? different ariel? different number plates? different brake pads? etc etc i could go on. These sort of things people just replace and slightly upgrade over original but i bet do not disclose them as mods.

Well said that man! They do screw us though eh!

its not a little white lie its a big one, i think they call it insurance fraud technically yes - and i would definitely NEVER EVER EVER do it but how they ever gonna know if someone was sooooo stupid enough to claim this??

If you add on another driver (a woman for example that may never even drive the car) would it only be a white lie if you say they are the main driver? How they ever gonna know the difference?

Is that right?? Hopefully an easy fix then!

I would imagine the contact points where the glass touches the window seals would need cleaning or lubing maybe? I wonder if there is any such product sold for this reason??

Many thanks for the generous offers of touch up paint. Will be visiting the dealer tomorrow and will update you all.

I have taken another photo in the light of day......

Do u think my best bet is to suggest a dent man type thing? Not sure if would stand up to a sort of stone chip repair as the brakes obviously get very hot at times???

Thanks for responses guys - i have edited the photo now and circled it. It does look like a reflection in the original pic but i can assure you it is a mother fooking gash of a scratch and i aint happy!!!

Just had my car in for a p2 service today. Picked it up this evening all appeared ok. Brakes felt a little different as brake fluid change i suppose and as i was getting out the car just had a quick glimpse with a torch down at my o/s front wheel and to my horror i see quite a gouge of paint off the top of my Brembo, some of it down to the metal. I can only presume that when putting the wheel back on it slipped and scratched it. I know the car is 6 1/2 years old now but the car is mint, only done 34k and them Brembo's were SPOTLESS and now has an obvious gouge out of the bright metallic paint - i am not best pleased at all!!! Not sure what to do or how to approach this subject. I called them now as they were closing and spoke with the manager and he told me to bring it back monday (as the technician is off tomorrow) and they will go from there. I want this sorted but not sure how to approach it. The manager seemed ok and said i dont have a fight on my hands or anything (i was quite angry ) but obviously cant prove it was them although the scratch/gouge is fresh as a daisy you can tell - but it probably wont be like that on Monday. I took this photo but it is dark and hard to notice - about 1cm long along the top edge.... I know it will probably seem trivial when they look at it but it does look worse in real life - i shouldn't have to just accept to pay £246 for just an oil change and gouged paint. Any useful help / advice appreciated....

That wheel looks so clean it doesnt even look real

Silly location and idiotic but drifting looks pretty fine IMO.

I had a fiat coupe 20vt. Nice car, quite rare, looked more modern than it was. Great engine but shite handling and brakes - as said above, the zed is such a great all round package. I do miss the punch of a chipped turbo car though

Blimey - good price! good luck with the sale.

Have you driven it yet then?? HOW much quicker is she ????

Where are you getting one made for £50?? Any pics??
