I bought some and wasn't happy they failed to open the boot properly. I paid to then have them uprated and they're still just passable and that's without the counterweight and boot trim not sure what I did wrong!

I'm in no rush, sometime later this year would be fine need to save the pennies for a few months after buying something big and shiny for the weekdays. I didn't think the weber was being produced it's such a nice look, lusted after it for so long

aw f*ck my wallet! How much is the webber front/rear? http://www.webersports.jp/gallery/gallery_list-3194-14915-1.html I've drooled over this for far too long.

The tailgate weighs a ton though!

I have tried but the problem is the whole boot is also a magnetic metal so magnet on the inspection camera isn't easy to manoeuver to the right spot, guess I just need to keep trying!

I doubt there's much help but probably good for a laugh! I unbolted my spoiler and I've lost one of the nuts inside the tailgate void. Any thoughts on how to remove it? I've tried sliding an inspection camera inside with a magnet and although I can see it I've failed to fish it out It seems to be trapped up near the 3rd brake light and seems to be fully stuck as slamming the boot doesn't loosen it.

Seriously pondering getting my new car coated so it stays nice and shiny and gets some added protection, my 350z is always looking like a mucky pup as I'm terrible for washing it

If your paying main dealer prices then it's sadly going nowhere, the only real reason to pick a main dealer is... 1) the car is so specialist that nobody in the area is of any use (Not the case here unless you've got a very niche issue) 2) you want the main dealer stamps (adds nothing to the value of the car at this age) The car won't fall apart at an Indy it's not a complicated piece of engineering. If it does develop something more interesting the true specialist garages on here would be more worth your time and money.

Arms and droplinks can all be done on the driveway

is it a light or heavy noise? the heavy clunk is the banana arms the lighter clunk or clang are the droplinks.

+1 for the trek quotes! Indeed large chains are masters for milking customers and generating profits but your average small indy is doing a tough job. Most of their cash is tied up in metal on their forecourts with no guarantee it'll sell or they'll break even on it. For every car you think they've made a killing on they'll have several which they've lost on. You just need to look how most cars loose in 3 months to see that the aim of the game is to keep the cars rolling as it were. That's before rates and tax! If it was that easy they'd all be minted and everyone would be setting up showrooms! Just think how many cars do they sell a week? Probably 1-2 so all of their weekly costs need to come from one sale, it's mental when you think of it, a few slow weeks and you need to start selling off cars for less than you paid just to sort your bills out and before long your underwater. I've a lot of time for decent indys and when I haggle it's different to a large dealership where you know it's already marked up excessively and the cars are as common as anything. Indys generally have individually better cars at more reasonable prices and take a bit more time and care (the decent ones anyways)

Still looks awesome, I did wonder how you did the little cubby hole in the door handles, looks like you just cut the sheet as best you could and polished the inside? That's the bit the scares me!

Nifty, the splitter was with 1 single sheet no join?

I agree but considering the amount of scratches and chips it's either a full respray in which case i'd rather go for a unique colour but do all the shuts and interior so silly money or just fix it myself over time when I can. It's not terrible but it bugs me and I feel if I did them in one go over a month it would be back to looking awesome and then possibly move onto wrapping it myself but I'm not going down that route until the paint's sorted. Red is a pain but looks gorgeous when it's all washed and waxed! I guess I can fling them an email with a photo of their paint vs mine and see where we get to!

Hi guys, been looking at spraying a spoiler I've bought I've done a test which quality wise fine, properly sanded and sprayed with rattlecans, 2k clear coat for durability then polished looks amazing. However the colour match isn't fantastic. I have a 54 plate red 350z, and I'm using holts spray paints (halfords don't cover the colour it seems) The red doesn't have quite the level of blue in that the car does so it looks overly bright. This is naturally because the car paint is 13 years old, while it's not the worst problem for a spoiler if I wanted to touch up parts of the car myself it would look naff even blended in a bit. So what's the best route to get perfect matching colour in spray paint? Is it worth contacting them and seeing if they have a colour they'd recommend for a 13 year old car vs from new?

looks awesome, this is my plan going forward as well! Did you get the sheets from the carbon mods/easy composites place? Which weave and weight did you go for? I fancy doing mine then when it's super glossy and nice spraying it with a satin finish, that should mean it's easily re-finishable and gives it a slightly swanky look.

The A pillar trim is totally removable without touching the dash I've done it about 5 times now, you'll need to pull back the door seal a bit but that's it

Awesome thanks after payday basically

When does the promotion end? *stares at bank balance*

That would be me got a lovely 380rs spoiler to pop on it in the next few months as well

I'm still pondering your lovely coilovers! https://www.torqen.uk/nissan/350z/suspension-steering/coilovers/1652-350z-torqen-s-coilovers-trqz33s.html

Already have :(, and the trim is currently off as well!

Heh well indeed but having paid 70 quid for the springs and another 60 odd for struts I want the damn thing like new!
