Thank you

Cool, interesting read, I haven't ever done any advanced driving courses but I feel the many DWYB drifting days I've done at Santa Pod has improved my day to day confidence and car control.

As per the title, having read the great test by @ilogikal1 for fallout remover, I thought I'd have a search to see if anyone has got recommendations for a good bug or tar remover but nothing came up in the search. So, anyone got any favourite products? TIA

How does three buckets work then? Two rinse buckets?

That bit of paper comes with it after you've bought it....... It seem underhanded and not very clear in the first place, you don't find out it should really be kept in the dark until after the warranty period by which time you've already altered it to make it fit. I'm also saying why can't they use a better UV resistant clear coat or gel coat or whatever other manufacturers use or like the stuff cars are painted with that lasts for a hell of a lot longer. And finally, I'm putting this up, so anyone else who decides they like the look of Seibon stuff knows the issues, isn't that point of this forum

Magic, thank you. I'll probably have a go at some point or just wrap the wings the same as I did the bonnet, I'm slightly concerned about going too deep and damaging the carbon.

As per my reply above, it doesn't say on the Seibon parts pages, for show cars only, must be kept in a garage etc.. The only place there is any reference is on the FAQ page. And again as per my point above, why does the Seibon stuff suffer so much more than any other parts, in spite of their claims of an amazing finish?

No but neither do Seibon. They don't say clearly on the parts pages this part isn't for outdoor use, there aren't any clear warnings. http://seiboncarbon.co.uk/products/carbon-fiber-fenders-for-2009-2010-nissan-370z-10mm-wider.html If you read this page for the fenders/wings, it includes this line: "For a stunning finish, our products are coated with a glossy clear coat that does not chip or flake." It doesn't say but you must garage your car or if you can't leave it outside. It doesn't say not for road use, it doesn't say will need additional protection. Where is the UV/sunlight warning? The only place I can find any reference is on the FAQ page, it really should be made clear. And more to the point, why does all the rest of the carbon on my car that I look after in the same way, look so much better?

I've got some paint protector conserver that works ok for short periods, will the method you suggest work long term? Whats the best grade wet sand to use, 2000?

I have other carbon bits on it from lots of other sources and they all look better, some show zero sign of UV damage just like you've said about your BMW bits. These are mainly Japanese but some are American. Some bits show a little bit of fade but you can't really see it, it's just the Seibon stuff that is really bad.

But it's for a car? Do they expect you to keep your car garaged and only drive it at night?

Just thought I'd post this up following a discussion on FB and see what other peoples views are on the subject. I have had lots of different bits of carbon and non-carbon bodywork over the years. The quality of all the carbon has been good on first inspection and it has generally fitted well. My biggest bugbear is with Seibon and the speed at which it suffers UV damage. There is even a warning in their paperwork saying to keep it out of sunlight? Seriously, when you are paying out for exterior car parts (and not cheap parts either), and lets be honest for most regular people, their car lives outside for most of it's life, why sell parts with substandard lacquer? It's not like my car doesn't get washed and waxed regularly.

SR20, about 330ft/lbs and the same HP

I have Motorbikes for when I want hitting by rocks from anyone I am behind I do think they look nice btw....

Everyone loses or breaks these, your best bet is Torqen or Tarmac for a new one. I can't find one listed on Tarmac but this is on Torqen's site: https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/body-styling/exterior/6218-350z-torqen-wheel-arch-liner-splash-guard-lh-trq-350z-sglh.html I'm pretty sure it's what you want, @Adrian@TORQEN can probably confirm it's right and if they have stock, although I think he's at SEMA, the lucky bast

lol, I think that is the one I went to in the stinking rain when no one else showed up, good food thankfully So we have 5 or 6 possibles, any one else?

I'd wait, it looks great, you've used good parts and looked after it. As others have said, you might be better off selling in the spring when it starts to get sunny again?

It's a false ecomony, they won't be great and wont last as long. I have whiteline ones on my Z on Eibach ARBs.

Sorry to lower the tone but pass the tissues

Like everyone has said, it looks great with those wheels. What are the sizes and final offsets? Looks perfect

I'll second this, they have always been good on my wife's roadster. Yup, I went from a KA to my first Z Hello btw

Going down the NA route will end up costing the same as a supercharger but for less gain. Handling mods are well worth doing. I hardly ever do engine work on bikes, just sort the handling and make them far easier to get more out of within my riding ability.

I don't have experience with their car covers but I've bought 5 bike covers from them over the years and they've always been great quality. I sent one back for one bike as it didn't fit properly and they made me another one.

Nissan centre caps from a nissan qashqai will work with stock wheels, I used them on my Rays when I had them done in black. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/X4-Genuine-Nissan-Juke-Note-Micra-Alloy-Wheel-Centre-Caps-Gloss-Black-KE40900Z11/272145623818?hash=item3f5d24ab0a:g:7LcAAOSwQYZWzv~i:rk:21:pf:0 or https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-Genuine-Juke-Note-Micra-Qashqai-Wheel-Centre-Hub-Cap-Black-KE40900Z11/112471574430?epid=17017010978&hash=item1a2fd4079e:g:24UAAOSwvflZXhEP:rk:11:pf:0 Not fkin cheap though

Personally I'd want an actual windscreen......
