HEADPHONES

Wow.....£700 with tyres sounds a bit of a bargain

Work + shiney lips = heavenly

I'm lucky in that I have black leather and don't have any worries with seeing stains in the creases. I deliberately specified black instead of Alezan back in '05 for this very reason and that decision has paid off. Like most detailing regular gentle treatments are better than hardcore once in a blue moon regimens. Although seeing those great 50:50 transformation pics is very impressive!

I've been using DR LEATHER wipes. A pure cleaner that doesn't add any protection or shine, just restores the natural Matt finish. My black leather interior may be 12 yrs old but still looks great with no cracks despite not using any "feeding oils" etc. But then again I'm a little OCD with it and use a foil type sunscreen inside the windscreen at the slightest hint of a sunny day and in the summer i cover the seats with a large towel to prevent uv damage :b

I'm thinking of going to this. Is it fairly easy to park/come and go at any time, or is it a case of get there early and get blocked in waiting for the finish before you can leave? Was thinking of arriving about 8am and leaving 11ish at the latest.

However fast the price may be dropping, as long as you are looking to keep one for a few years i still reckon they represent good value. After all, most of the really big losses have been taken by the original purchasers.....LIKE ME . I reckon if i sold mine I'd lose about £25k! But an 05 DE with factory Nismo kit and LMGT4s losing £25k over 12 years works out about £2k a year.......Worth every penny in my opinion and still giving plenty smiles per mile So as long as you worked out it was an affordable purchase at the time and aren't looking at short term ownership it'll always be good value in my opinion

Following on from AMT's thread on the 2016 Q60 coupe, I saw this and think it's the dog's dangles https://www.netcarshow.com/infiniti/2017-q60_project_black_s_concept/

Welcome to the OC. Yours is the first I've seen with the led DRLs in the grill and it looks really neat

Sounds like a mighty fine Zed is evolving. Looking forward to pics of the car

Looking good in its new suit. Must feel like having a new car with flawless bodywork now. I bet you found it hard to not just sit there for ages gazing at the blue when you picked it up!

Nice acquisition Stu Until you get a new head unit I can highly recommend this..... https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Car-Vehicle-Electronics/TeckNet-Bluetooth-Transmitter-Transmission-integrated/B010NI8JL0/ref=sr_1_sc_1/254-7056647-8595934?ie=UTF8&qid=1488400195&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=Technet.+Bluetooth+fm+transmitter A fellow member recommended it. I can't fault it. Tune mine to 100.7 Fit and forget. Auto on. Auto connect. No need to retune each time. Like I said......fit and forget. Just use your phone as a music player, and all for under £13 delivered! Also looks really discreet when plugged in. Even the display matches your blue paintwork

Now this I really like

I use a place with a MEGAMOUNT SMART machine. Very rim friendly. See this thread for pics and vids. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/104715-rim-friendly-manchester-tyre-services/page__hl__%2Bmanchester+%2Btyre

Welcome to the OC. Always loved the Honda Del Sol Vti. Haven't seen any on the road for a while now which is a shame.

Damn......Just seen this! Will be sad to think of you selling your zed but looking forward to you posting up details of your new acquisitions Needless to say your continued presence on here is MANDATORY Someone will be getting a mighty fine Zed that's very tastefully modded GLWTS

Fair enough! Where do you usually pick it up from? https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Car-Parts/Power-Maxed-Ww5000-Concentrate-Liters/B00U23AU96/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487880019&sr=8-1&keywords=power+maxed+jet+wash

I'm quite unlucky that my wife has bad hay fever and so we dry her delicate clothes in a room running a dehumidifier. A by product is a constant supply of deionised water though Without this as a final rinse I'd get water spotting unless I drove it down the motorway to clear the water

This is what I use for a quickie. 100 ml in a 2 litre pump sprayer. Go to the Jetwash. Spray over the car. Wait 5 mins while I clean my rims using another pump sprayer filled with shampoo. £2 in the Jetwash to rinse off body, rims and undercarriage. Job done : thumbs: I'm a bit extra so I then rinse with deionised water in a couple of 2l coke bottles to prevent water spotting. It'll never be clean enough with a touchless wash to use a drying towel after!

My best memories are from the era when neons etc were all the rage. Looks good to me Part of the appeal of the VW GTI to me are all the interior led accents. Maybe I'm a bit like a moth.....Just love lights Got a drawer full of led torches and rechargable motion activated LED lights dotted around my cellar. Now if I ever stick my those rechargeable motion activated LED spots all over my Zed you can call me Chav AND COME ROUND TO SLAP SOME SENSE INTO ME TOO

Welcome along. So what are the first items on your wish list?

Welcome to the OC. Supra looked stunning

I had already used a clay mitt and C2V3 on the zed 2 weeks ago so today was meant to be just a quick wash and tyre shine. But as it only takes 10 mins to apply C2V3 I couldn't resist slapping another layer on.

The second pair is actually a bargain. First one is £180 and only ONE turtle. So many extra turtles on the second for an extra 15 notes!

Wow......One elderly owner from new. That's quite a find! In fact by the time I sell my zed, that's what the new owner is gonna say about my car

Look so nice I would keep them in the lounge and just admire the blingness for as long as possible until fitting :b
