  1. This vid started the retractable plate group buy on here if I remember correctly.

     

    I like the stealth look - don't like the red badges on the side though. He has the pearly black z badges gentle - I think they look good if you don't want to stray too far from OEM but give a more sleek look.

    I'm not fussed about straying, just worried it may look daft without having any other mods at the minute. I supposed I could just wait.

     

    Did you do your calipers yourself? I think that's a definite must for me. First things are the badges, calipers and maybe gear/handbrake knobs and gaiters?

  2. It was for the temp as well as the psi. Got a bit worried when I got out of my car and realised I'd pretty much worn my tyres out. I thought with this, I can keep an eye on the temp as well.

     

    Really wanting to get winter tyres but they're about £160/£220 each. Will probably need a set of 4 too rather than just rear ones so it's gonna cost me a fortune.

  3. Hey Ben,

     

    Sarah (Chilli Red) is doing the Tommy K badges again and as for the round Z badges they are an improvement over the nissan ones - you can get them in a pearl black colour which makes the car look a bit more stealth. I smoothed out the badge on the back and changed my front bumper to the amuse so have no badges on the front on rear now. If you remove the rear badge you will defo need to replace it with something as there are two small holes under the badge. Or you could have it filled and painted.

     

    Thanks very much Taddy - they are some older pictures. Before my full amuse kit and nismo spoiler went on. I think I am going to brave the snow this weekend and fit the brides. They are Muddys 'old' seats. They are still sitting in the original boxes and wrappings - it was as if they had come straight from the factory. :#1:

     

    I was thinking of painting the badge red myself. Not sure whether to go for the one that looks like the origina with the small Z or whether to go for the circle with the big Z in it. You think a Tommy K one would fit front and back?

  4. Hey mate, thanks for the photos!

    I think it looks ace!

     

    I'm just joining the my350z site so I can see the pics. Thanks folks.

     

    I like the Tommy K badge, think I might get one on the rear strut. Still thinking about the round badge with the Z in the middle for the front and back though. Not sure if it'll look a bit random without any other mods though?

     

    Ben.

  5. Thanks everybody! :teeth:

     

     

    welcome mate, did u buy from nobles? thats where i purchased mines from. i changed exhaust etc and the guys in there said it was fine. mines is under warranty and ive changed as much as i can really lol

     

    welcome, enjoy the club

     

    Hi mate,

     

    Yeah I bought it from Nobles. I didn't realise you could do that much under warranty. I went to see Richard the other day and he said I can change badges etc, as long as I don't get anything done to the engine and don't do anything to the paint. I was looking at getting a spoiler but as I'll need to take the old spoiler off I'll probably need to get a respray on the boot so it'll have to wait.

     

    Cholula

    Do you still come to Penicuik? You don't have a Black kitted up Zed by any chance do you?

     

    Ben.

  6. Hey folks,

     

    I'm starting to think about what mods I'm wanting. Think I'm gonna start with new Zed badges and maybe get my rims powder coated. I'm not sure what colour to go for though?

     

    I'm thinking black alloys with a red rim, wheel nuts and centre badge and maybe red Z badges for the front and back. Can't picture in my head what it'll look like though. Not sure if the badges will look daft on their own (as they will be the first things getting changed)

     

    Ben.

  7. Cheers folks,

     

    Starting off small just now as it's still under warranty,

    Getting some new Z badges for the front and back and possibly LED reflectors for the front.

     

    Later getting a full body kit, spoiler and roof spoiler, 20 inch alloys, lowering springs, side panel intakes etc. In the future I'm looking to get a twin turbo too....we'll see. lol
