The rear quarter used to be my favourite view of the 350z but I'm really feeling this angled shot of the front quarter. Maybe it's the way the new splitter highlights the contours of the bumper and the wing, who knows but all the same

Your wheel fitment looks BANG ON

I had an E reg 1.3L hatchback Sunny. Together with the Corolla they established legendary Jap reliability💪

Glad to hear you can finally unleash your zed onto the road without worrying about a misfire. -
^looks like 2 lions stalking a gazelle

Damn........now come to the think of it...... YOU'RE RIGHT Will remember for next time

Not my cup of tea, but I suppose if the owner is happy it's all good. Makes the world a more interesting place. Looks well looked after as I'm sure the wooden rear is pretty high maintenance. Here's a Porsche with cosmetic touches that you don't see often.......

I'll even use Turtle Wax Dry and Shine for a touchless LSP too. Spray it on after your shampoo and rinse. Then rinse again. Watch the epic instant beading, then blow dry to prevent water spotting if you aren't using filtered water

I'm even tighter and got a Worx leaf blower for £45

Drove down to my parents on Wednesday. The Zed got a prime parking spot below my bedroom window under a streetlamp

What are the 2 discs in the bumper mesh of the black Zed?

The Turtlewax Headlight Restoration kit is my favourite. Those little sanding pads are just nice and really cut through the oxidation layer. Even the sealant wipes lasted longer than the Meguiars aerosol lacquer sealant that I tried. Definitely with the £12 or so from Amazon as your photos prove

Well 11 months but it's close enough. Got the Scorpion Y-pipe and non resonated cat back exhaust with rolled tips supplied and fitted by my local Scorpion dealer in Stockport for £740. The tips look only a little wider than OEM and have a nice little Scorpion logo embossed above. I wasn't a fan of the slashed cut tips originally offered by Scorpion but they now come with OEM style rolled tips The clamps that join the tailpipes to the backbox are only visible from underneath the car and everything fitted 100%. My only minor quibble is that due to the wider tips I can no longer get my hand between the top of the tailpipe and the bumper for cleaning and polishing, but can get a MF mitt between held either side to shine them up like shoe polishers of old. In 2 months I've done alot of motorway miles. 2 trips to London at 4-5 hrs each way and 2 Midlands meets at about 2 hrs each way, so thought I'd give some feedback. The sound is hardly louder than stock on cold start up so very neighbour friendly. When cruising, the sound is still civilised even at motorway speeds. The sound does change to a more hollow tone at around 3k rpm but I wouldn't say it's an annoying drone........just not as pleasing as when it hits 4k and over when it sounds sweet as a nut. So much so, I'll often not bother with 4th gear when going for a drive locally I also now find myself driving with the window down more so I can hear the sounds bouncing off walls and underpasses as I open her up in 2nd gear. I so regret sticking with the OEM one for 15 years but then again with the OEM one looking so damn fine it was hard to just dump them while still in good nick. Despite the finish of the tips being so smooth they do tend to pick up stubborn contaminants more easily than stock and need an old clay bar every couple weeks to keep then glassy smooth. I am on standard suspension and had to drive over some pretty scary speed bumps in London and my pet hate the speed mounds that just occupy the central part of your lane meaning the tyres go either side of it with you expecting to hear your exhaust flexis getting ripped off. Thankfully no hint of a scrape so it's all well tucked up under the Zed's undercarriage In conclusion, it's considerably cheaper than it's Invidia counterpart, which has more seemless pipework between tips and backbox. However, the tips are wider and look more meaty and you have the advantage of a lifetime warranty. It's closest competition would be the Cobra, but even that was more expensive for me at the time, had a smaller (less attractive imho) back box and lacked the lifetime warranty. https://youtube.com/shorts/Y9d8-IoUSaI?feature=share

That Candy Ruby Red looks divine. Amazes me how Candy paints look so DEEP as if you could swim in them....... almost like a hologram. Never seen a Candy coated Zed in real life so I look forward to seeing yours at some point in the future

After seeing all the original Pug 2015 gti's on Sunday at the British Motor Museum Gaydon meet, I dug out some pics of the last time I saw a Dimma kitted 205 at a meet 4 years ago. I think along with the Dimma wheels it still looks awesome to this day and would gladly own one over a stock one. The same cannot be said for the numerous Combat Corsa kits that made them look like the b@$t@rd offspring of the Veilside Supra However, despite loving the Veilside Supra back in the day, I'd probably prefer a Supra with the OEM TRD Aero kit over the Veilside now. What aftermarket kits can you think of that are still timeless to this day.

Shame there were no 306 Dtubos there seeing as we both had the pleasure of owning one Dave. Those were the days when I thought the standard 14" alloys on them looked amazing......FOURTEENS! -

What a gorgeous day. Sun shining A Zed convoy to the meet Great spacious location to catch up with fellow Zedders There was even the JCW and Peugeot clubs in full attendance in their designated areas too, so plenty to see.
