  1. Cheers GM Andy, I don't have any pics and never seen a faded in person, so cant tell how bad it is.
  2. I haven't said anything lol And if I'm off that day - I would love to take you down to ZedShed to pick it up Good man We are yet to confirm the year but will give you notice Haha that's fine... Might have my bus pass by then as well
  3. Cheers dodgy man lol There are no sunlight in the boot, so all good lol
  4. oh yea, I also wrapped boot plastics in black alcantara. Looks pretty good! Couple of bits needs to be re-done as im not 100% happy and other bits needs to be done as well, but overall looks Also got a spare roof lining - which i will do as well whenever i get time

  6. oh... I was going to ask my usual question, but looks like you had few problems, so I won't ask it as don't want to p*ss you off even more.... IS IT READY YET? On a serious note, well done for staying strong minded and finding new solutions! It will be worth it! I might pop down one weekend to help out and may be even show Keyser what Russian BBQ is (I wonder who is gonna be 1st one with a dirty comment? )
  7. Right, time for another update. New wheels (supplied by Tarmac Sportz) are 19" Varrstoen ES2s. 10" front, 11" rear, et25. Wrapped in MPSS (hey Dan! Are we best friends now? ) Roof was wrapped gloss black, carbon bonnet was sprayed same color as the car, just leaving vents still in carbon. New bumper is Nismo V2 with C/F canards (supplied by Tarmac) and lip/middle bit gloss black. Door handles were sprayed black as well Rear window spoiler/lip (supplied by Tarmac) fitted Unfortunately, as some of you know, bumper/arches/bonnet were sprayed VERY badly (details are here http://www.350z-uk.c..._hl__specialist). Here are few pics of how it is at the moment: Since I'm not happy with bodywork, I went to a trusted, top job, bloke. Matt @ Cawston Car Bodies (based in Rugby). Matt is been in the business for over 25 years and worked on my previous cars and cars of my mates - and every time you could not fault a thing. ^^ Me and Matt admiring "great" job that was done by CAR Specialist. Long story short - he is sanding everything down and starting from the scratch. Dropping car off to him in the middle of June, so car is ready for the Trax in July. What's getting done: - Bumper re-done - Bonnet re-done - Arches re-done and properly blended in with doors - Side skirts re-done - Rear spoiler resprayed as he didn't like the look of a line in the middle of it - Roof sprayed gloss black, instead of vinyl wrap - Rear window spoiler/lip re-done - Door handles re-done - 2 small dents/car park dings sorted Also car had little service again, by myself. Only 3.5k since last service, but I like to keep it all fresh and clean. Engine oil changed with new filter Supercharger oil changed Aux/Drive belt changed Currently refreshing my engine bay. Got rid of C/F slam panel and replaced it with mirror effect S/s panel from Rickdon Bonnet catch was replaced as well with a shiny one from MopedMark C/F Battery and Fluid covers are gone as well and OEM covers/lids with surrounds are currently with Ricey getting dipped Also got new Mishimoto oil catch tank (in black), polished Power steering and Coolant reservoirs - just need to fit them. Then will need to get one of them bling bling shiny plenums from MopedMark and possible get him to polish up my throttle body as well. Then it will be time to refresh suspension... new anti-roll bars, drop links, poly bushes and all that stuff. Ok, I'm off to do more overtime now
  8. hahaha you have way too much time on your hands
  9. Haha buy it by any means, just be ready to be messed about and pay another £300 to get it fixed
  10. Haha I would run, fly, drive, cycle, teleport away. He is only got 3 feedback a on his eBay, all 5 stars, but one says "bought part on 27th April, still waiting to confirm when to collect it". Not sure why they still left him 5 star feedback, but that gives u some idea of how reliable he is.
  11. Oh and that air take is glued in with some serious stuff - doubt you will bs able take it off without breaking it
  12. P.s. DRLs are broke and don't work! And c/f layer on them is pealing off! Deffinately would avoid it! It will cost you loads in repair to get it to a decent state! And you can't really repair that c/f lip...well, you can, with a filler or something - then spray over it, so it won't be c/f look any more lol
  13. Haha that's my old bumper Scumbag who "sprayed" my front end and ruined it - selling it now as I never had chance to collect it. It is a nismo v1 bumper, but I cut a bottom of it off and molded carbon splitter! Bumper is snagged! Big crack in the lip, cracks on drivers side by the wing (quite big) and loads of headline cracks. And more around it (underside is scraped and one side, where it stick out on passenger side and badly scraped as well) I'm not even talking about stone chips etc! Only decent thing about it - is washer jets! Even they used to stick as well...once headlights were sprayed with water -jets never used to go fully in. And seller is a complete scum! A. That bumper needs scrapping, not selling B. Most likely he will waste your time - he is never on time if he decides to turn up at all.
  14. Or just cover LED with a bit of black tape lol
  15. I've used just under 2 bottles of Motul when I did mine.
  16. Yea, you will, as you will lose some when replacing lines. And might as well pt fresh stuff in anyway, while you at it

    I had a quote once from ZWorks in U.S... For new set of DEPO headlights with iron man mod for 880 dollars delivered to me in UK or 930 dollars for iron man+demon eye.

    Not sure about this one to be honest mate. I think it's the lenses that point wrong way...so if you get comparable lenses that point in right direction - you will be ok. There are few people in U.S that do custom headlights. They can supply new set and do whatever mods you like and then just ship to you. If that was me - I would do that and I would worry about them pointing wrong way. Adjust them slightly lower so you don't dazzle oncoming traffic and find friendly MOT garage or jut swap headlights for MOT

    They will be pointing wrong way, which will fail MOT! But I think few people her have them! I used to have "wrong pointing" headlights on my old celica...adjusted them slightly lower - so they weren't dazzling oncoming traffic and was all good!
