It pulls hard as it is so if it gets any better happy days

Not just high milers. Mine was on 36000 when i bought it from a dealer and that had the clicky CV's so i got them to replace both sides. Have the windows down and try not to be in too much of an open area and pull away as normal or reverse it is when the axle is loaded that they will make a noise if there is a problem. Will also do it while driving if you plant your foot while cruising along.

Current company(brentacre) want - £1679 Bell - £1350 admiral - £1130 Included mum and dad as named drives on the last two as it takes £400 off! I'm aiming to get under £1k if i can, Ideally want to stay with my current company due to their policy on mods though

Duffa who was that with? mines up for renewal on the 29th. I'm 22 with 5 years NCB and no points and my current company who used to be the cheapest for me by miles have quoted me something ridiculous for my renewal!

Need to look into this at somepoint due to mum inducing the only ding on my car the other week

I know I wasn't impressed! I was looking at those ones aswell, you'll have to let me know what it's like when you get it

Thats ace! You guys aren't far from me either so will keep an eye out

Headlining looks fantastic! It was black in my golf and it makes such a difference to the feel of the interior. Good work

You should have Pm

Agree with this. A mate of mine had an OCD fetish with his fiesta and it was immaculate, he had a buyer lined up ready to go. But then the buyer saw pics of it on a track day on the internet then pulled out of the sale.

Congrat mate, glad you have completed it!

Thanks for the comments everyone Captain - Firstly I washed the grill and lower bumper thorughly to remove any dirt/bugs etc. For the lip I used quite a coarse sandpaper at first to even out the areas stones have smashed into. I then used a slightly less abrasive paper (280) and then 400 with plenty of water to get it smooth. Sprayed on a light coat of Halfords satin black spray that I had lying around. I rubbed this layer back a bit with the 400 grit again as wasn't happy with it. I then applied 3 more coats of the satin black leaving it 15 mins inbetween each to dry as it was quite a warm day. I wanted to do more coats but ran out of paint I then used halford laquer and gave it a 4 coats of this to try and help it last against stone chips. Most people would have used some primer to begin with but I did the top and lower grills on my golf and they were fine for two years. Don't do what i did though and get your spray cans mixed up as i nearly sprayed it silver thinking it was the laquer can, and this was after i ran out of black paint Hope that helps I should have taken pics along the way for the guide section

Ended up spraying mine today Wouldn't have been done without elfmans thread

I didn't see the point in doing a project thread when i bought it as it was supposed to stay standard :o But I've done a few mods and have some planned so there may be some interested peeps Bought the car in Feb, got to the dealership to pick it up and it was gleaming in the sunshine And then i got it home It's GT spec and spec is as follows 3.5v6 - 276 bhp LSD Xenons Climate control Brembos cruise control lightweight RAYS Full heated leather Bose sound system including sub Folding mirrors etc etc... First thing i did was change the number plate bulbs Then as the weather started to get better i gave it a proper going over, polish and waxing it etc Sun had gone by the time i finished hence it looking more brown than orange Then a few days later it snowed Then I took it back to Nissan as i had it booked in from when i bought it so they can replace the Rear CV's under warranty and also look at the radio as it was skipping CD's. Got Qashqal number 1 Very hi spec as it was an ex demo, boaty and slow as hell but very comfy! Got the car back with the CV's replaced but had to book it in again as a new stereo and body control module were on order (all free ) Went back a couple of weeks later and i got Qashqai number 2, this one had nicer wheels and Sat nav with reversing camera built in. I then wired in a phono lead to the tape deck and ran it into the cubby between the seats so I can use my MP3 player without changing the head unit. Got hold of instructions on wiring the mirrors up so they fold when the car is locked so wired this in. (Big thanks to AlexZ!) Then i set about checking all filters and fluids etc and found a few leaves in my air box so they were promptly sucked out with the hoover Next were some 'Z' badges from egay, ended up getting 2 of them 30 quid cheaper than usual :cool: to I also debadged the boot lid. I gave it another good clean, polish and wax and this time the sun was still out :cool: Was bored so thought I would check the throttle body and give it a clean, there was alot more dirt than expected! nice and clean Fitted it and then reset it and it seems to pull more smoothly. Today i was bored and finally decided to do something i had been pondering for a while, had a quote from a sign place up the road and they wanted £50. Then he mentioned that i should try spraying it instead and then if it goes wrong vinyl it I remembered I had some black paint and laquer left so this was what happened... Bumper off Bumper taped up and ready Bumper prepped to reduce the huge stone chunks which were missing Then spray time Sprayed the grill and the lower part of the bumper And the final result I also sprayed the splitter so it wouldn't look out of place Fitted back on the car Didnt cost a penny and looks much better imo :cool: Future plans are: Clear out the fob light (I have the LED bulbs to replace the fog but cant get the back lights off ) Facelift LED lights 20mm wheel spacers all round 30mm eibach lowering springs 'Z' badges for the wheels Y pipe back exhaust - Thinking scorpion of japspeed K2 And if i intend to keep it long enough and money allows Supercharger conversion. :cool:

Only just seen this, looks really good and very cheap too! Been debating doing the bumper for a while, your car is exactly the same as mine and I think you have helped me make my mind up

i bought a halfords one but found the base on my car was larger than that of the aerial so returned it.

Ver nice Mine is an OV54 too

That looks like the adaptor you need. Send pimm a pm as he seems to have them quite frequently Welcome to the site

A photoshop of mine with no badge, i was thinking about it for when i get the bumper sprayed but not sure.

I used t-cut to get the residue off

I've had two Qashqai's very high spec ones but i agree with the cornering Much better on juice though, and very comfy. tempted to take the Zed in to get anything i can think of done under warranty next time I have a long trip ahead of me

Thanks Guys will check the TB again next month and if it is gunking up will sort out a catch can

Car definately seems smoother to drive which is good. Surprisingly the inside of the plenum didnt look too bad from what i could see, there was only a little bit of gunk where it connects to the throttle body, may whip the top of the plenum off this weekend depending on the weather and have a look around.

I know of that tigra, it's an animal! Do you know what times it was getting? Some very nice cars there
