  1. Hi All,

     

    I need some options for a Y-Pipe...ive just brought a Nismo Exhaust off a memeber but it doesnt have a Y-Pipe so any ideas as to what will fit?

     

    I know they have varying pipe widths so want something thats a good fit :)

     

    Any suggestions?

  2. That front badge is nice :) you cant go wrong with carbon...dont think I have ever seen that before...got a link to where you got it from?

     

    I will have 2 brand new tommy K badges up for sale at the end of the month...brought them for my zed but the car will probably be gone by then!

     

    Failing that drop Sarah (ChilliRed) a pm she might have 1 :thumbs:

  3. I did it myself...didnt take that long...youll need some plastic primer, your colour (matte black maybe) and a sealer or a laquer to go on top.

     

    I would advise gettings a spare set as you can work on them and use the car at the same time :thumbs:

     

    I sanded mine down, sprayed with primer then wet standed the primer to make sure its all smooth, re-primered and sanded again then painted.

  4. I looked at the RS4 Cab aswell on the wekend....I thought they were great cars but just didnt do it for me aswell.

     

    I am stuck between an E90 M5 and SL55 AMG...both great cars in their own right and hav more then enough power to keep me happy on my weekend blasts.

     

    Best of luck choosing a new motor :)

  5. Thanks guys....guess I wont be using that body shop again! My zed is quite low and maybe having a FG front end isnt the best idea.

     

    I did have the badge smoothed out which has made the middle of the bumper fairly rigid and left the sides where thee cracks are with some flex...I assume thats probably contributed to the problem aswell.

     

    I will have to find someone better to repaint the front end when it goes back to the body shop.

  6. Hi Guys,

     

    I have a Shine V2 front bumper on my zed, it was painted a few months ago by a decent body shop but after a few weeks I started noticing small cracks in the body work.

    Now I know the Shine bumper is made from FG but I wouldnt expect it to break up so quickly...this might have something to do with my zed being quite low to the floor. Is there a special primer that I can get which will stop this from happening? Someone suggesting a flexible plastic primer.

     

    Thoughts?
