Be wary of the traction control off button. The car is proper tail happy

Quick note : If you were wanting us to travel to you, there would need to be a covered area such as canopy/garage with a plug socket and lighting until we have started to get supplies such as our own canopy, generator and lighting. If you were to travel to mine, in ruislip, we can do the car in our own garage. Prices will vary dependant on car/panel

I painted my back box few days after starting this thread, so far, ain't cracked. Only painted black so it doesn't show too much

I keep driving past a 350z parked in wokingham, its parked up on the left hand side of the road in a street, aleays drives straight in to the parking space, whos is it? Men dont drive it, men reserve

Easy fix if its something you look like of, vinyl wrap the centre lip, or plastidip?

Did you manage to get the scuff on front bumper lip fixed?

Que? You want the car wrapping AFTER a full respray? Why would you do that? You have to have perfect paint to wrap Paint doesn't need to be perfect, as long as theres no rust or obvious scuffs. Most likely due to it being a wanted colour, a respray keeps it perfect condition with a wrap on top with the colour he wants. (That may not be sought after as much)

ill need to pop round and have a look, looks pretty simple but i can imagine it getting a bit mondane. whole car going matt black? seen a thing on youtube about it taking off his paint lacquer after a year, not sure if hes done it wrong or anything? what bits were you looking at getting wrapped

If you wanna bring your car round i can have a look bud? How did you get on with plastidip? Started watching hours of videos n youtube about plastidipping car

Slapdash? Lol

Need to get my front bumper fitted correctly since another garage messed up using b&q screws and not making it fit properly. Im in ruislip/uxbridge area. Will need bumper fitted to o.e.m standard and gt an invoice to get refund frm previous garage

PM sent

Roof can be done at your choosing, ill be tinkering around with my interior bits to get a bit more hands on before i go onto someones interior, but should be fine after that

Think its about time i got a full service on mine too, i can imagine it making big diff on the car

haha i misread, i thought you were looking for a 200-250l fuel tank haha. Was getting intigued

From what i know, the mobil 1 is the better, but i use castrol. Cant remember the grade, like 5w/40 or something. But castrol done the job for me.

New plans 1- Wrap the window frame green 2- Add the black canards to the v2 3- Learn how to refurbish alloys, and do some more D.I.Y 4- Learn how to tint windows and do some more.. more. d.i.y 5- Look into a new spoiler 6- chargespeed rear bumper 7- bit of D.I.Y spraying for my wing mirrors to go black once i buy mirrors New spoiler ill be looking for is the racing type look, but not one thats OTT! just one that goes up maybe same height as a v2 spoiler. Chargespeed ill need to look into next year

Burnt orange 350z at the tesco's in ruislip. looks like it was getting sanded down, all over.. anyone?

[update 29th Oct]: Due to valid points about no previous customers, insurance and qualifications that i do not yet have, i will be restricting myself to roofs only for the current time, until I have something more official. If your looking for something similair, or along the same lines, feel free to PM me. After doing my car myself, I'll be looking into doing vinyl wrapping as a business (possibly) in 2013, so until I get the lump sum cash from afghan to start it up, I'll be doing some wrapping for friends for a mates rates (as it ain't business) just so I can start getting more of a profile, and use some pictures of what work I've done. Would anyone be interested in getting bits of their car done? Will still be learning the techniques for different parts, but from the garages me and mate have been to, there isn't exactly a standard in some garages where there should be.

any idea how much itd be to get the tinting film and the tools, enough tint for 350z? I dont mind wasting a little bit if it means i learn how to tint windows. Worth a bash said that for the wrapping and went well with that (IMO)

Its just vinyl wrap, you can buy some from rtbiscuit, easy to do yourself get any colour you want, ive done mine green. 20-30quid with loads left over

Im guessing the rear window heater still works when its tinted? And wont effect the tint?

Id say the lowest your going to be able to do performance mods for is like 200 or so, i.e. hfc / air intake etc If its cosmetics your looking at, do a bit of spraying or vinyl with the interior such as dash, rear strut bar etc. My first mod was a verticle stand for in the dash hole thingy, so when i have the phone on as a satnav, i can just lean it there instead of sticking it on the windows. Ebay for like £5 and works fantastic
