Thx Spatt, sorry I've taken so long in replying, I've been out of the country! I'll take a look at Customlightz, am thinking of doing it myself with a few mates, we'll see!

Hiya, I have a black 05 Roadster, and i'm thinking of doing this mod, having done some research on a fair few forums, the gist of it is, popping the headlights apart, is tricky, a bit touchy feely, and getting them back together without water leaks,is also a problem. I have some guys who :)ay take it on, will keep you posted, if anyone else has successfully achieved this, please respond. If my car was not re sprayed black (2 grand) , I would not bother,but if I can do it, it will look very cool!

Hi again, referring back to my topic of aftermarket headlights for my 2005 Roadster, I have now found another Forum, Canadian, where someone opened up his headlights, in an oven, and painted the shiny bits black, looks pretty cool too! I've emaild him, through the forum, and am awaiting a reply, as to what paint was used, etc,. This looks as though it would be a cost effective way to go, rather than look for R/H drive, to L/H drive conversions, from the States. If you have any input or knowledge in this direction, please answer this thread, Thanks!!

Thanks for taking the time and effort to reply , Bullet Magnet!!

Hello again, thanks for the reply,Reading some earlier comments on this subject, seemed to suggest that just a relatively simple adjustment might do the trick, for MOT purposes here in the UK, please correct me if i'm wrong, which I might well be!

Iya Bulletagnet, thanks for the reply, this sounds quite technical, although I know a guy who could do this kind of thing! When you mention opening them, i'm guessing you mean actually opening them, and modifying certain parts inside, you will have t forgive my ignorance here, I've never attempted this kind of thing before!! If you have the time and patience, could you advise me on the specifics, ie, the shroud, and the cut off, i'm guessing they are to do with the beam alignment. Thanks for your time, I'll post up results when hopefully completed!

Hiya, i'm thinking of buying some Spyder black HID headlights, from the US, costs around £250, another £120 to import. I think they would fit initially, but there is the question of converting the beam for R/H drive cars, ie the UK market, I have been reading various threads on the forum, and am still confused! I won,t order until I know someone has successfully achieved it!! Any thoughts?! Thanks.

Thanks guys for your advice, i'll look into it more deeply now, they seem to be a hell of a price, mind you!! I plan to post a few pics of mine more or less finished, if it stops raining long enough to get a few decent pics!

Hi there, a while since i've been on here now, has anyone upgraded the Zenon 2 headlight bulbs for something either whiter, or bluer and brighter?? Any information would be appreciated, thanks, (i've finally got my "19 wheels and spacers on!

Thanks for all the advice and ideas, i've ordered an HEL kit for the braided lines, and have sourced a slave cylinder,should sort out the problem i hope!

Hi there, i've owned my 2995 Z, with 48,000 miles on the clock for about 5 months now. I rather stupidly let my son drive it a while ago, he was revving the engine too hard, even reversing to turn around, and after about twenty mins hard driving, and another high revving reversing episode, the clutch got very hot, smelt hot and smoke was seen!! the clutch peddle was not returning, only bout halfway, i had to get my toes behind it to get back where it should normally be, but it did get us home. The next morning, after cooling down, it was behaving normally, and has done for quite a while now, until yesterday, a very hot day, i noticed the symtoms returning. I think i am losing some hydraulic pressure when it gets hot, maybe through a seal or two, hopefully slave cylinder! The clutch itself is not slipping, which i reckon is good news, i am wondering if any of you guys have experienced anything similar?? Any comments would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Thanks rising power, i will look into both of your suggestions, you never know, i may find something i like that i can afford!

Thanks for that Mike, i will do that! If i get stuck and cant find them, i' ll get back to you.

Hiya, maybe i should clarify a little. Wheels UK go UPTO 60mm, i dont think i would use anything near to that, maybe 35-40mm tops for me. I completely agree on buying wheels that have an offset nearer to 25mm front and rear, but so far, these have been VERY expensive options. i have a lot more digging around to do, any more ideas from you's guys, as always, is greatly appreciated, Thanks, a true Z newbie!

i can reply to my own posting here! www.ctd-germany.com do some nice ones, and also some ally roll-bar covers, not cheap mind you!!
