  1. It will be x1000s more bother to go through the process of a paint change than it will be to just send the log book off - thats going to be just a tiny % of the amount of time invested in getting to a good result
  2. Technically if you spray it anything other than Kuro black with that paint code, I presume its a colour change. Especially if its metallic and not flat black? In terms of insurance it might be ok just stating its black, but DVLA should be told? Just guessing here, no expert by any means.
  3. The seller claims to have sold it at the asking price after getting it upreved to 350bhp...
  4. I don't think it is annoying Martin, more that the seller is misleading any potential buyers with blatant lies on the advert. It could have been completely innocent and the guy responds with a nice thank you and changes the advert accordingly (if for instance he was told all this when he bought it and doesn't know any better) but it appears the guy is a nasty piece of work sending follow up spite and hate to Martin since his last post on here as well. All we can do is note the ebay sellers account and ensure none of us buys anything from him in future.
  5. I flattened my front bumper but after a year the filler sank in the recess...so get some sort of guarantee around that
  6. Cue Ricey...Halfords multi layer ones will do the same job but as with any cover the car has to be immaculate otherwise any grit or dirt trapped under will move around and scratch the paintwork Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Do not fear the JDM car As long as you check it out properly, are aware of the trim levels as G says ensure its a solid car there is no reason not to go for one - all the old excuses about expensive insurance etc are a thing of the past.
  8. Fantastic - if you can write such in such comedic way whilst being ripped inside out mate you should be able to do it for a living!
  9. Exchange rates...most companies either carry stock or hedge their prices for around 6 months - that's why you are now seeing price increases in food in supermarkets etc as around 60-70 percent is imported. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Sold - thread locked
  11. Because the UK market are a fickle bunch, the second a car hits 100k miles we think it becomes worthless. Its a cracking car at 99k miles but hell that 100k marker...good luck selling
  12. Fish and chips eight quid in Whitby!
  13. I bought a hot chocolate at Gails that newly opened in Richmond, asked for a medium, £2.85, but it was tiny, £2.85 is throw away money it didnt stop me challenging the person on just how small the serving was - no matter how rich you are most people hav sense of what value for money is!
  14. Very pretty - highly over priced! Wow!
  15. Will keep an eye on this, the 22 year old plastics on my car (same position actually) could do with some recovery!
  16. I know, just thinking out loud.
  17. How about everyone off here contact him and tell him he is an utter muppet, then tell him to Foxtrot Oscar. Some people you wonder how they make it through life.
  18. Unfortunately mate the world is full of idiots - the only saving grace is to know you are not one of them!
  19. Most people just go out and drive their new cars - glad you are enjoying yours
  20. Its 350bhp because its a 350z, obviously
  21. Chris Eubank - On the moment he knew he had Nigel Benn beat: “In the ring I looked at him and saw a relentless savage. But I also saw a man with a slight doubt on his mind. When he looked into my eyes he needed reassurance. I thought ‘It’s too late for that mate. You’re mine’â€
  22. Its amazing what the insulation of things like this can have on people - I was sat working at my desk about 500m from it when it happened, we were looking on the news websites and watching it live but I never really felt threatened. Then I left the office early and wandered out onto Victoria Embankment to see the road shut off and police everywhere and up the road could see the bridge closed off and then it really hits you. As to the point above, people are being murdered each day in the UK but we do not panic, but when the news channels go mental over it in a battle to be seen the channel with the best coverage it only works to get the point these people are trying to make across. It was ridiculous with reporters ringing MPs inside the building and asking them where they were being moved to, what police were with them, what weapons they were carrying - and the MPs were almost at pains to say what stupid questions to ask of them live on TV whilst it was still ongoing but the reporters didn't relent.
  23. I wasn't actually making any comment about degredation, just that its plugged in day and night, it was just an observation I don't think I have yet to walk past and see it not there.
  24. Suspect he wont take anything less than £12k for it?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-SHOWCAR-LOW-MILES-SWAP-SWOP-PX-/152474995510 Shame someone clearly wasn't taking things seriously when buying such a lovely example.
  25. Apparently the government is pushing out the incentives to get EVs up to 100,000 sold in the UK (where are we now, 90,000?) When they are offering £5k off a £20k car makes a lot of sense assuming charging capabilities are easy. I see probably one or two EVs a week around my way on the road - I guess in more built up areas where you cannot charge from the house they are less relevant. The model X that is around here is sat on a driveway always plugged in day and night.
