    Ordered my 2 VUS from Lovetyres.com on Monday night. They arrived a few minutes ago, so effectively next day delivery.

     

    The tyres were £324.20 delivered, which is £0.02 more expensive than Camskills, but I can live with the difference as CS didn't have any stock. :D

     

    Overall, pleased with my experience and would recommend / use again. :thumbs:

    So Lovetyres.com it is then! I'll report back on the service.

    De-badge or not?

    swap for a 350 badge... i like admiring the rear 3/4 view of my car and thinking,

    'yes, thats a 350z...' :) 'thats MY 350z' :teeth: 'that 350z means 3.5 litres of V6 goodness...' :cloud9: >looks around car park< 'none of these other cars are 350zs...' :yawn: 'but mine is, it says 350z on it...' :yahoo:

     

    ...and repeat :blush:

     

    I noticed you skipped over the Nissan part! :p

     

    De-badging is very much personal taste. If you don't like them, then get rid. :)

    Toll Roads, would you use them?

    I'd pay to use toll roads or even a pay as you drive scheme, provided this was instead of and not on top of the existing duty.

     

    A CO2/km scaled pay as you drive system is the only fair way of taxation...

     

    Currently a Toyota Prius doing 30k a year will be charged £0 tax, yet will stick 4200kg of CO2 into the atmosphere.

     

    A Zed doing 3k a year, will be charged £460 tax, yet only put out 1300kg of CO2.

     

    Obviously, this system wouldn't be good for Zed owners who do 30k a year! :p

     

    A just a quick defence of lorry drivers (Of which I am neither one or particular fan of), but they are very strictly limited to the amount of time they can spend on the road before having to stop. Even a few miles an hour can make a huge difference... Although I completely agree at how annoying it is when they're taking up 2 out of 3 lanes!

    Touch up paint

    I've got a Midnight Grey 350Z how do I find the exact code please?

     

    Someone will correct me, but there should be a couple of places to find your paint code:

     

    1. Your owner's manual

     

    2. The driver's door (Near the lock when the door is open)

     

    3. Under the bonnet at the bottom when open

     

    My only problem with paints4u is that their Azure Blue (B17) is called electric blue and looks nothing like my car's colour...

    Advice on old GTI

    Have you considered donating it to charity (if you can't find a buyer)?

     

    www.giveacar.co.uk

     

    They will come and collect your car, scrap it and give the proceeds (minus an admin fee) to the charity you choose on their website.

     

    I was going to do this with my old Punto, but unbelievably, someone bought it about 20 mins after I'd filled in the giveacar form online.

    To flash or not to flash

    I've only seen one other since I've owned mine (Just under 5 weeks). I waved and got WTF expressions from both driver and passenger... Needless to say, I didn't post in the Spotted / Flyered forum.

     

    It won't put me off waving or flashing though!
