  1. ive had a whole bunch of PM's about these, they are not mine! ive won them on ebay for £79.00 but if someone wants them as they are too far away for me to collect they can collect them and pay the guy £79.00, the price is NOT open to offers as its done through ebay... Personally i wound really like to have them but the guy is being so vauge, not answering emails, or being very descriptive, so to me its not worth the 400miles trip...

  2. right i won these on ebay a couple of days ago but the guy isnt being very helpful with the pics... claiming the shitty ebay pics were all he has, hes also a member on here...

     

    basically its a 360 mile round trip for me to collect them and im not spending over £80 in fuel to be p*ssed off at the condition of them

     

    so if any one else would like them you can have them for what i won them for £79, you just have to collect them from stafford ST17

     

    if you pm me i can send you the collection details

  3. just spotted theres another set on ebay! they are only copies tho and nearly 3 times the price!

     

    The other ones you are refering to are probably a full set I have up for sale but they are front & rears. I gave £400 for my set of replicas so am wanting to recoup as much of that as possible :)

     

    I heard about these when i bought my genuine rears, aparantly theres alot of fitment issues with that set... :thumbdown:

     

    Yep a guy (whos not on here) bought them, apparantly he builting the biggest baddest 350z in the world... looking foward to seeing some pics lol... and he still tried to haggle when he picked them up, no pleasing some people

  4. well i bit the bullet today, got the car straight in after work, id bin reading up on how other people have filled holes on metal work... i cut some small metal squares and held then in place with a magnet then tacked them, did all 4 at the same time doing a little welding to each and cooling them down with water spray, this way it avoided putting to much heat on any one hole for to long, and im pleased to say it turned out perfectly! im really pleased with it, you would never know there was a hole there, and the boot didnt warp, it only took me an hour to do all 4 from start to finish, there all ground back and painted so they dont rust, just need a skim of filler then paint the boot lid and fit my spoiler.

     

    so glad i did this myself, not only from the satisfaction of DIY but that no body shop wanted to do it for me, so now its done properly and saved me some money, not going to attempt the painting tho lol

     

    gonna get it in tomorrow and do the same to the wiper hole! shame i never got any pics, im not a pro with body work everything i do is self taught after a bit of research, proof that any idiot can do it if they try lol

  5. need some advice really, my car came with a nismo spoiler that I dont like and have since removed and sold and in its place will go and ings style spoiler, BUT! having removed the nismo spoiler which was bonded AND screwed on i now have a bunch of holes on my boot lid! the holes along the very rear edge i have tiger sealed over and cut it back flush as they will never be seen again, but im left with 4 10mm holes in the more central part of my boot lid, i have since put bungs in them to stop rain geting in but need them sorted asap.

     

    Ive spoken to a couple of body shops:

     

    first place said they would get a ball hammer place it over the holes and tap the centres down (so the filler would sit in a dip and not just pop out), then they would fibreglass the underside of the bootlid then filler and skim the top...

     

    second place said the would also do the ball hammer trick so the filler will hold better in the holes, but they said they would weld plates behind the holes from underneith then filler the top

     

    third option, im pretty hand with body work (just not the painting) and do the fibreglass and filler job the first place was going to go but do it myself.

     

    have noticed a problem with the welding idea tho as the inside of the boot lid has a stick on layer on the inside thats very hard to remove so unsure how he would clean it well enuff to weld it?

     

    any helpful input from you guys would be very appreciated! cheers
