HEADPHONES

I've got gloss black wheels with diamond cut faces on my Kia. It's not just the protection you lay down but A VERY GENTLE wash technique that's needed. The wheels collect alot of coarse brake dust and dirt. You wouldn't go scrubbing that off your bodywork paint aggressively with a brush for fear of swirls. The wheels are the same. If not gentle when washing them, the gloss black finish will swirl up in no time.

Well the lights are on AGAIN. It's the all black switch above the brown/black cruise control switch. I replaced the brake light switch a few years ago wit an OEM Nissan one thinking it'll be premium quality and last. In 14 years ownership and 60k miles my second one has now failed. Not had this happen on any other car so I'm guessing the Nissan ones are a bit rubbish. So I spent just over a fiver on a generic one https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Nissan_350Z_3.5_2005/p/car-parts/electrical/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/car-switch-and-car-sensors/?464700040&1&9572e9ec83fab9414d1914b8c35be537361637ec&000415 With the frequent flash sales it can be had for a little over a fiver instead of £40-50 for a Nissan one! It's in and working. Even if it only lasts 5 years it's an easy enough fix but I wouldn't bother with a Nissan one guys.

Mine's arrived. Will test it side by side against Sonax BSD on a section of the Zed's rear bumper with repeated washes every few days

That's a "serious" rear end

Ooooo.......these rear lights are definitely a MUST HAVE. In the same way as the later 350z rear led clusters were they totally transform the rear. Side by side the old clusters look very retro "Lexus lights" esque As for flash or sequential you can't go wrong as the lights look so damn nice it doesn't matter

Coolest replica I've seen

This product seems to be blowing up in the US and over here. Using the discount codes on carparts4less it's about a fiver. Spray Spread Buff. Jon at Forensic Detailing says it's nicer to use than Sonax BSD, almost beads as well BUT is EXTREMELY chemical resistant to shampoo, wheel cleaners and fallout removers. A true game changer FOR. PEANUTS Watch this guy hit it with detergents and fallout. Even the toughest chemicals just bounce off! My bottle is arriving Monday Problem is I still have about 6 litres ofy current favourite Sonax BSD/Chemical Guys V07 Hybrid Sealant 50:50 mix left

I just used my fingernail to pick and peel it off. If older and more stubborn, a little GENTLE heat from a hair dryer should help

That's battle scarred paint protection film. I hate the look of it and peel it off any cars we've had. Took it off our Kia 8 years ago upon delivery. I haven't seen any detrimental stone chips without it. If it was me I'd just peel it off and bin it. I can understand putting PPF on a bumper, but a tiny few square inches seems as pointless as wearing a bulletproof Blue Peter badge into a war zone.

Just this moment read that you're using Westway Nissan. That's about 20-30 min from me. Almost bought my zed there. Had I known earlier I would have offered to help when you were in Jamaica. Hope it all works out well. I had teething problems when I got my zed new in 05. 1.Rattle from the Nismo spoiler due to a detached bolt inside. 2.Clicky axel 3.O2 sensor went 4.Rear number issues. 5.Skipping CD player. I was pulling my hair out. First new car I'd ever bought and it seemed every few months I was back and forth to Westway Stockport. Alas after 2 years all the teething problems were sorted and it's been relatively trouble free since 2007.

Welcome to the OC

Truly a deep red. Like a toffee apple

Welcome to the OC

Boooooom.......that was quick! Congratulations. Gonna be a great summer for you. Don't think you'll be using your AC though. You'll be driving with the windows down listening to the roar

Too good to limit us to so few pics. More please especially from the rear

Welcome back to the OC You should post pics up of your transformation.

Looks as cool a gadget now as it did back then on your Zed. What would be really cool is having one on the rear that you could activate when some prat drives right up your rear. A nice BIG one with a suitable "polite" message on it

My sunset at twighlight

Following on from this Back in February 2018, despite carefully sliding in and out from new, the bolster had worn slightly to this Some DIY for around a tenner to this Some 15 months on and left with this I'd say still over 90% of the leather paint is holding out, despite this being used daily Not sure how it would look on a really wide patch, but for the piping edges and small areas it's a really quick, cheap and easy fix.

Looking good

57 minutes AND STILL NO PICS! Don't worry We believe you. You're probably out driving along the empty roads now the commuters are off the roads

Looks fresh in those recesses now Always find it a mission removing the rear clusters. I had to use floss or thin string last time to help loosen them!

Welcome to the OC . Can't wait to see a pic of the zed in the same location as a replacement

He must have applied quite a bit of gas on moving off to move the Zed's front wheels . After all, the Zed ain't exactly light! At least the cars still straight.......phew

Looking significantly different and unique yet retaining a classy OEM vibe. Almost as if it were a Nismo creation
