What is the plate that's on it?

I think with a fish that size, I'd only want a small bag of chips.

Fixed that for you

This should answer most've your questions: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/67672-dave-350s-gunmetal-350zee-facial-surgery-page-5/ I'd take that front bumper off though. You'll be ridiculed, pointed at. laughed at and generally made to feel like a fool. I'll swap it with mine just to help you out

Is it a UK car or JDM? GT pack or non? All these factors affect price/value.

M40 J15 is close by to Leamington where Vlad and also Brillomaster are located. It's about 45 mins from me (so I'd happily go take a peek for you and drool over their stock), but I can't this weekend or next I'm afraid.

I have no idea whatsoever what other colour you may be referring to mate

Again, thanks for the comments guys. I'm also intrested to see how they hold up to wear and use. I applied extra colour and finish to the 'vulnerable' areas, so we'll see how they look by the Wales weekend in a few months. If I turn up and they're wearing seat covers, you'll know it hasn't gone so well. You can get a full set of 350z seat covers (including rear seats) for about £20 on eBay

09.02.2014 - 97335 miles I recoloured/dyed my leather seats. Wasn't the simplest of jobs! you can read details and see more pics here: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81278-new-seats-sort-of/

Agree. Thought tonight was much better. I did however think James' bit on the military vehicles would of made a better program on its own - One I'd have also watched as it was an interesting section. The P1 though

My shift gaiter was feeling kinda left out, so that got the same treatment today

No way! Wait till they find out at the golf club....

It was!!! Unfortunately, wasn't an option.

OK, here's an outtake... When your seat looks like this, you really do question WTF have I done!?! This was taken as I'm starting to remove the first (I think) colour.

Thanks for the comments guys, I really appreciate them. I'm just glad it all worked out in the end, as I did have my doubts for most of the process! Yes! Totally. You do use the sponges to apply the first few coats of dye, working it into the leather and difficult to reach places and it does look streaky/uneven at this stage, but once the airbrush is used, the patchiness and streaks disappear. You then just apply more colour until you're happy with the finish, before applying the leather seal and (in my case matt) finish. Once the colour was all uniform and no patches were seen, I applied more coats to the areas that wear the most, such as the edges of the seats by the doors and bolsters. I did the same with the seal and finish. No idea what brand the airbrush is, or the compressor I'm afraid (although it does look like a little elephant if that helps)! The leather colorant and prep etc were bought from different sellers on eBay, but they all arrived in the same type of bottles, so I would assume that they're all manufactured the same and just labelled by the seller. Well, if an absolute moron can change black to light grey, anything is possible!

If they are done properly there shouldn't be a problem with the airbags +1 SMD. I can't see any switches for the heated seats or seat adjustment, so would assume the original seats were fabric. I could be wrong, but I don't think the fabric seats came with airbags did they?

With a ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained’ attitude and armed with knowledge gained from the internet and YouTube, I set about changing the colour of my seats with some leather colorant/pigment dye. I really like red seats, especially in a grey car, but thinking the red would contrast (in a bad way) with my ever-so-slightly orange engine bay, I opted for a more neutral colour and chose a light grey so it would work alongside the colour of my car and still offer a contrast to the black interior. On paper, it’s a simple 4-step process. Easy peasy. 1. Remove seats 2. Prep seats 3. Apply colour and finish 4. Refit seats This is how the job actually panned out in reality: 1. Remove seats 2. Prep seats 3. Apply colour (with sponges provided as per instructions) 4. Dislike finish 5. Dislike colour as it was too dark 6. Realise you’ve screwed up a perfectly good seat 7. Put ‘wanted’ ad for passenger seat on forum 8. Figure out a Plan B to save the seat after little/no response to ad 9. Buy more leather prep (used to remove colour) 10. Buy more (lighter shade) leather dye 11. Buy cheapo airbrush kit and can of propellant from eBay to apply colour 12. Prep seat (again) 13. Start to apply colour 14. Struggle with cheap airbrush kit and can of propellant (if you’ve ever used one, I’m sure you understand) 15. Buy small compressor for airbrush off the internet 16. Await delivery – compressor arrives 17. Realise that the mini airbrush kit you’ve got won’t fit the mini compressor you’ve now got 18. Swear 19. Make the airbrush kit fit the compressor by using ‘bloke ingenuity’ and duct tape 20. Finish applying colour 21. See how the seat looks in the car before applying leather finish 22. Dislike colour again and learn that colours displayed on the internet often look very different in real life 23. Swear (a lot) – buy MORE leather prep to remove colour 24. Buy MORE colorant, ensuring you’re happy with colour 25. Remove 2nd colour 26. Prep seat (again) 27. Apply 3rd colour 28. Knock over and spill the bottle of colour, just as you’re beginning to question whether you’re actually going to have enough to finish the job 29. Swear more, maybe even cry a little 30. Clean the mess up and finish applying colour 31. See how version 3.0 looks in the car 32. Happy with the result carry out steps 26 and 27 on the other seat, avoiding step 28 33. Apply leather finish to both seats (I chose satin. Gloss and matt were options too) 34. Refit seats 35. Share the results of your easy 4 step mod with everyone else Should I have left it alone? Yes. It’s my Zed, am I able to leave it alone? No. Would I do it again? No. Do I regret it? No, not now it’s finished. Am I happy with the (finally) finished result? Yes

Found it, tried it, sorted it. And for reference, here's what worked (with doors closed): Pull switch up (fully close window) Pull up & let go Pull up & hold for 3 seconds Push down and hold till window fully opens then let go Push down & hold for 3 seconds Pull up till window fully closed and let go Pull up and hold for 3 seconds Job done. This worked for both my driver and passenger windows. Cheers guys

Cheers ATTAK. I thought there was but could only find the 'full' procedure when having a search. But now you've confirmed there is, I'll search a bit more....

Hi All, I've had the battery disconnected from my car for 2-3 weeks now for one reason or another and I've reconnected it this evening. I've noticed that the window doesn't drop or raise that little bit when opening either door now. Is there a 'simple' reset procedure that I could/should try first, or is it door card off time to carry out the full reset by pressing that little button in the door?

Welcome to the forum. Make sure you pop along the the annual Wales weekender in May if you've found your Zed by then. Shouldnt be too far from you

Hello and Where are you located?

Hello and I like your Celica, nice looking car

Just spray it on dude, building it up using light coats.

Chirag, you don't need primer with Plastidip, just lightly sand the area first to give it a key. Do not apply lacquer either, if you want a shiny finish to Plastidip they sell 'glossifiers' to use with their own products.
