Another good reason to avoid Birmingham. Like anyone needs one...

FTFY.

£200 a corner and pretty...

If you’re retarded enough to take your supercar to Knightsbridge, instead of out for a razz round the country, you deserve it.

The McLaren showroom in Knightsbridge is a bit screwed though. 

Since COVID, it’s all about single use products again. The environmental angle has been forgotten now there’s a second thing to pay any attention to.

They probably assume their customers can drive...

Nissan happened. Nissan, the company that's taken 11 years to announce that it'll rebody an old model at some unannounced point in the future...

They really couldn't work out how to colour that front bumper in that rendering though did they?

Could this be the next GTR ?

Actually, that's the last one.

(Please don't).

Can you even imagine the embarrasment of not sliding backwards through a hedge because you chose function over form though... [shudder].

That is some shiny leather in the after photos! Which is nothing more than the leather balm sitting on top of the top coat of leather - I highly recommend skipping any leather balm/feed/conditioner to modern leather, it never reaches the leather and just encourages more damage to be inflicted.

That side the rest of the repair looks a great job, so well done there.

I’m fairly sure four tyres works better than three on a car..

But it’s a fair point, no one would ever have any trouble putting any amount of power down instantly if all cars had pretty tyres on them.

It's designed specifically to bond to headlights, so it might work on plastic trim but I wouldn't expect it to last on paint to be honest.

I mean it will be better than Rim Wax, but then again so is staring aimlessly at your wheels for 9.8 seconds every day for a week. Or something.

Now that's a good lookin' tyre...

on another note, IF the new zed came with say a 2.0 litre twin turbo engine, which should bring it below the emissions level and it came to Europe would you be tempted, cost depending ?

I can honestly say emissions (whether actual or the random number generator that is "laboratory testing") has always had, and will always have precisely f**k all to do with my decision to purchase a particular car.

TL/DR: No.

I think now is a good time for 350z owners to get the 370z.

Genuine question, but... why?

It's not 370Z prices have suddenly dropped, or like the 370Z has suddenly become more desirable. It's still no more of a "step up" than it's ever been, so genuinely intrigued to understand this thought process?

Don’t know what you’re talking about, it was just a random number I threw out on the off chance. 

I’m going to throw out a completely random guess that absolutely isn’t informed by the first post at all; half a dozen.

How many Q60 owners modify their cars though?
 

I mean, there’s only 3 of them in the country anyway which is why Infiniti pulled out of the UK in the first place.

I’m 40 and I couldn’t give a toss about anything before the 350Z if I’m honest. 300ZX is okay in certain configs, but anything earlier does nothing for me. 

That’s probably because the 300ZX did everything it could to kill off the heritage of the Z car at the time; it’s not a real Z car after all, what with being a 3 litre TT and all.... oh.

How much is an SVA these days? I mean there’s the costs of the conversion as well so call it a grand for sorting out the lights and bits, but probably peanuts compared to the purchase and importing costs. 

On the bright side, (nearly) everyone owns face masks these days so at least you could be seen driving it in public without being recognised at no extra cost.

From Autocar:

 

”However, there’s bad news for the UK and mainland Europe: the as-yet-unnamed new model won’t be offered for sale here. In a statement sent to Autocar, Nissan cited a “shrinking European sports car market and specific regulations on emissions” as the reasons why it was “unable to build a viable business case” for the car’s European release”

 

Oh well. 

*Ahem*.

Where's The G Man when you want to look smug at him?! [/childish].

Anyway, that aside, considering they've "designed" the thing (apparently each end in isolation), they've done a grand job of making sure that two tone paint job doesn't suit it from every single angle.

The interior looks well designed though, so at least anyone who does buy one will see the best angle of it. 

I also predict tyre lettering will make another short resurgence in certain circles (pardon the pun).

Who's betting on same 370 with updated panels?

I’d be much more entertained if it’s just a 370z with new headlights... 

@ShortPaul on the off chance you still have yours after changing them.

@ZMANALEX might be able to help too.
