  1. It will be dried on wax. Just use a hard toothbrush and some fairy liquid (carefull not to get fairy on the body work as it will strip the wax). After that use some plastic restorer to make it all black and shiney again. R
  2. I'll add mine to this for future referance Rossco39
  3. Get well soon, there will be no heel-toeing for you for a while R
  4. Rossco39 Can't wait for this as well.....so many good games coming out this year. R
  5. As much as I like the guys at PB....WHAT!! £165 for a wee bottle of sealent...i will give £165 to ANYONE that can tell the difference between this and a middle of the road product by the likes of Dodo or Zymol. R
  6. Great work mate looks lovely, topaz blue was the colour of my old 3 series, looked great polished up R
  7. Of course but when moulds are made its just a case of repitition, im all for what you guys are doing and you will be recieving lots of my hard earned cash in due time R
  8. Ok picked it up, first things first some pics: I really didn't think I would like it that much but i really did. INTERIOR: Loved the red/black leather combo all be it slightly plasticy feeling. All the plastics were typical jap style not that great and a bit flimsy. Liked the gauges though, a nice blue glow. ENIGINE BAY: Not impressed simply a big bit of black plastic covering a tiny wee rusty lump. EXTERIOR: Love the look, the colour, the alloys were pretty bubbled but generally ok. DRIVE: I was very impressed with this, takes a fair bit of revs to get started off, dont even think about moving off in second you will fail miserably. Its only the 190bhp version but it felt very quick up to 60 and kept on revving and revving it never seemed to stop. 5th gear was a bit of a let down though not much pick up at lower revs. One thing about the Rex you need to keep the revs high to get any kind of torque from the engine. HANDLING: The Rex felt very tidy, nible and agile round the corners, the steering was light and I even managed to get the back end out at the roundabout. VERDICT: I really liked the Rex I could definatly live with it if I had to swap the zed for something with more seats. I would miss the torque though and accelleration above 70mph. I have to share a moment with the salesman that made me laugh though. He was one of these typical "know it all but knows nothing type", he was having a bit of banter with me about the zed, the converstation finished like this: SALESMAN: "So Is everything in order under the hood of the RX-8" (kind of taking the **** and I recon he thought I was going through the tyre kicking motions) SROBRIEN: "Yeah its fine, although the engines a bit small isn't it?" (jokingly) SALEMAN: SNORT "I think you'll be surprised it will have a lot more power than the nissan" SROBRIEN: "Hmmm I don't think so" SALEMAN: "Emmm I think you'll find it does" SROBRIEN: "Emmm I think you'll find it doesn't" SALEMAN: "So what power is the nissan?" SROBRIEN: "Just under 300" SALESMAN: "Ah....ok your right then" I would have thought being a car sales person you might want to indulge in a bit of market research from time to time. R
  9. Amen! I actually couldnt believe how cheap a roll of CF was compared to the finished prices. I know there is a fair amount of work involved but jeez! R
  10. Why you getting rid of it muddy? purely cos it attracts fluff. R
  11. Cheers guys, there is a definate weight difference between OEM and CF i fitted the bonnet by myself and the OEM is a good bit heavier. R
  12. Shouldn't take much repairing in truth bud, any decent bodyshop should be able to repair it Arf!
  13. About half as much as OEM i recon...oh and thanks for the sympathy jackass R

    Car respray

    Having a respray is a huge job and you probably wont get much change from 3K. It may not be your taste but i emailed totally dynamic round your way and he quoted me £1100 to wrap the whole zed in vinyl, im probably gonna go down the matt black route with this. Their work is amazing, almost every colour/pattern is catered for and it lasts 5 years apparently. Here: http://www.totally-dynamic.co.uk/go/colour-change Its not got the same depth as paint but its a chance to do something really different plus its totally reversable so wont hurt your resale value, Just a thought R
  15. its was £600 delivered...right here is the pics of it fitted. Has to remove my pipercross heatshield which i will have to modify and i think with the rain gaurds on it sits a bit high so will be taking them off. Apart from that its spot on. ..........................................BUT LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!* Trying to take the car into the garage i hit the door lip and f*cked my spliiter F*CK F*CK F*CKITY F*CK!!!!! Taking it to the body shop today to see if he can bond it up again once again i say it F*CK!!! R
  16. OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!! What can i say its exceeded my expectations, superb quality, even the underside, its even got removable rain gaurds which i was worried about...just wish it would stop raining so i can fit it! Big thanks to Knight racer for supplying this great piece of kit R
  17. Post up a pic of your head unit and all supplied wiring layed out on a table or something so we can see exactly what ure working with. R
  18. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/8221995.stm I can have channel 4 back now...yay! R
  19. Achem! yes...with his "polishing" machine R
  20. I think the only ones he is taking in is the anthracite with polished lip, it will look awsome on the GM. R
  21. Yup i totally agree, i think im gonna go for all black and pick up colour accents else where in the car No stanski im offshore for it, well gutted, hopefully i'll be able to make it to the next big meet though. R
  22. Just noticed that muddy has had his interior flocked and it looks may just stick with black all over. http://my350z.com/forum/media-share/432 ... he-uk.html R
  23. Hmm could be interesting, not sure if it possible unless they mask off one area and do it one bit at a time, probably charge a load more doing it too. R
  24. Orange and chrome, dont think orange would look briliant though R
  25. Nothing really interior wise its all black. R
