£4100 is very cheap either way so for around £5.5k you could have a decent z. Well done again though mate for taking it on the chin and being mature about your mistake.. Hope you remain in the z world..

Very sad story and I feel for what appears to be a genuine guy who has been very green on this occassion. The car cost £4k which was underpriced in the first instance. Stick a new engine in it for £1500 and you have still spent less than £6k on buying your z. I would be enraged but at the end of the day you have made a massive schoolboy error and unfortunatley are paying the price. You can still put it right..
I put a post up on this 2 years ago as i had issues. The solution is easy. File down the rim (housing) of each plastic clip with sandpaper/file so they are flush and the bonnet will close without issue. Dont over engineer the problem. Its enough to make the difference.

FYI. Mine is insured with Flux. They charge me £26 extra to cover all my mods AND for the extra £26 I have a fixed valuation of £12k as I dont want market value for it should the worse happen.
FYI I have mine insured with Flux and for an extra £26 per annum I have all my mods declared and a fixed valuation of £12k on my car. Money well spent..
