Yeah it does look good, but their not being honest in the advert which isn't a good start.

Yeah he mentioned that one to me but i dont think his friend is selling it at the mo.

Do you mean this one http://pistonheads.com/sales/2655884.htm my concern here is that they have stated that it has a full factory fitted nismo kit. If you look at the front bumper there are no headlight washers so this cant be a factory fit kit??

Just thought i'd put it out there that im still looking for a 350Z with the nismo kit fitted. I've been looking for a while now and have missed out on a few on pistonheads and autotrader for one reason or another Is anyone selling or thinking of selling one, preferably with low ish mileage?

I had a clunking sound on my mini front end especially when going over uneven ground. turned out to be the drop links.

You could try these http://www.ultrasecuredirect.com/acatal ... larms.html

Not too bad, i've heard prices can vary quite a lot

I made him an offer of which he declined. My budget is £12,000 i made him an offer of £10,500 for this: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p you cant see the damage in the pics but its quite bad for this type of car.

sounds complicated. Black with red on the inside edge of each spoke?

Which makes dark red.

I allowed: Front end £600 Rear bumper adjustment and spray £250 Alloy wheel refurb and 2 new tyres on the rear £600 MOT has 2 months left £50 This is just guessing though.

Red will look and still stand out enough...........

Thats a very good price, unfortunately i dont know anyone like that around here. I looked at a Chilli red zed last weekend and the whole front end needs respraying, plus one corner of the rear bumper. Just looking for an idea so i can negotiate.

Good man, let us know how you get on with it. I think red will suit the car more with the red detail already on the car. (safe bet) But pink will STAND OUT! It has to be illuminous though!

Just wondering if anyone has had the front end of there Zed resprayed, bonnet, front bumper, wheel arches. How much would it cost roughly?

I cant see why not, for what you want to use it for it should be fine. Obviously if you were wanting to do a more professional job you would be better using a gravity fed gun with adjustable and interchangeable nozzles with an air compressor Give it a go

if you had a crappy air compressor could you use a spray gun? I think so, you would just need the spray gun with a bottle attachment. You can pick up basic spray guns fairly cheap though. http://www.screwfix.com/search.do?fh_se ... nt+sprayer Yeah go pink!!

What colour are you going for?

Im a Decorator and i use Nitromors to strip off old paint from wood/metal, like Lexx says it works a treat. The best technique is to brush it on and leave it for about 30-60 seconds and then go over it again with some nitromors on the brush and dab it instead of brushing backwards and forwards, it helps to lift the paint from the surface. Make sure you wear gloves and eywear as it burns A LOT if you get it on your skin and you dont want to lose your eyes! Make sure you wash the wheels over with either white spirit or methylated spirit to neutralise the surface. 240 grade sand paper is a good smooth finishing paper, 180 grade is good for removing slight surface imperfections, also as lexx said, wet and dry would be the best technique to use if your doing it yourself. As for aerosol spray paint it tends to leave a horrible orange peal finish. A spray gun would be the better option you can build up the layers gradually using a cellulose paint. You can also spray the laquer on this way too. I wont bore you any longer, hope this helps.

I was two cars behind this very shiney Zed at precisely 7.24am heading through Ripley. Hello if your a member.

You could try sucking it out with a hoover.................... a long shot but it might work

I used to have a facelift 54 plate Mini cooper S John Cooper Works, it had every option JCW bucket seats, JCW engine upgrade, JCW exhaust, JCW body kit, JCW alloys, Harman Kardan stereo and speakers etc. I I sold it at the end of last year after having it 5 months. I had a Zed before buying the mini and it just wasn't the same from build quality and engine sound, although the JCW exhaust does have a very nice popping sound to it The car was great fun to drive and extremely fast , i believe the JCW engine upgrade made it about 210bhp. I heard that the newer turbocharged versions suffer from turbo lag compared to the supercharged. sopmething you might want to consider. Models before the facelift 54 plate had quite a few problems, a problem with steering column was one of them and quite pricey to fix. They put all this right on the facelift 54 plate.

Rare to see a car like that in chertsey at all.

Thats the one

Sounds like the one from a dealer in Yorkshire. It was on my shorlist of Zeds to go and look at, you beat me to it. I remember them describing it as an out of the box 350z. Congratulations
