I'd say you were perfectly within your rights to try to negotiate - we did exactly that and our photographer threw-in a DVD of the full resolution originals (no editing) and a copyright release letter with a package including an album. If I recall correctly, it cost us about £1200 in 2007, and the photographer did a great job. I'm sure I'm out of touch with current prices, but I'd try to find another photographer if you can. Good luck with appeasing the bride-to-be......................

Its not as bad down in Dorset as some of the rest of the country.................. .......................but I still wimped-out and took the wife's clio to work today!

Definately won't be painting the fella............................ Thanks for the responses, I did consider painting them, but was looking for the easy option, plus a nice OEM finish! Dave

Hi, Does anybody have any front wiper arms (not the blades) available for sale, with the paint in good condition? Unfortunately I have chipped the paint on mine? Its for a 2007 313PS Coupe. Thanks, Dave

Hi, My car (57-plate 313 GT) has been to the dealers for some warranty work. While it was there, they have road-tested it, and diagnosed that it needs a replacement rev counter, as the movement is a bit jumpy/bouncy. They say this means a whole new cluster, and that will reset my mileage to zero, which they cannot adjust (currently approx. 13,400). Having only had the car 2.5 weeks, this is a bit annoying as, even fully documented, it doesn't look too clever on the car's history file. I have 2 questions: 1) Are they right that they cannot adjust the mileage of the new cluster to the correct mileage of the car? 2) Do other people have a slightly jumpy/bouncy rev counter? Thanks! Dave

PM'd, Thanks again, Dave

think i may have seen you on the wimborne bypass sunday? i am in ferndown so not far away......i work at nationwide autocentres so service work is done there yeah, You probably did see the car there - was possibly my dad having his first spin in it.......not literally, though! Dave P.S. which branch are you at?

Hi, Does anybody on here have a set of the fitting instructions for the OEM tonneau cover? Mine is not properly fitted, and I am missing the bottom 2 brackets. If somebody could take a photo of the bottom brackets, I would be really grateful! Thanks, Dave

Sorry Buster, Only just saw your original question - I'm near Wimborne, so not so far from yourself! Where do you go for your servicing work locally? Dave

Hello again! Thanks for all the kind replies about the car - I knew it was an unusual combination, but it really quite appealed to me on the forecourt! Glad the leather has a better name than 'beige' as the dealer told me it was - that kind of makes it sound like some old pair of trousers....... Dave

Hello! I've had my 350Z for only just over a week now - still feels like it's borrowed! Its a 57-plate GT Coupe, in Night blue with beige leather and nav, and only 13k on the clock. I've had front-drive hot hatches up until now, and i just can't believe how special these feel. I hope to be a regular on here, and look forward to some meets. Dave
