  1. They've done a great job, shame the colour looks different on the pics, you can't see the shine! The are going on first thing in the morning. I need to decide how to do the centre caps. the nissan badges will be staying silver, and I have some carbon fibre wrap and some red carbon fibre wrap for them. Just cant decide. Was going to do one of each and try them to see which looks best. thoughts? It's a tough one imo, I guess the biggest thing is how the red vinyl matches up to the colour of the wheels. The black might be nice, a bit of a contrast and it wont look like they are missing as they will still have the nissan badges. ^ This was my thinking too. Carbon fibre to break them up a bit and the silver nissan badges will tie in with my silver paint :-)

  3. Just picked the wheels up... they look amazing! Great job on the refurb and the colour looks amazing. Sadly the colour looks completely different through my iphone camera (it looks orange!) In the flesh the are a very deep and glossy red. Cant wait to fit them [/url] [/url]
  4. Not had the windows tinted yet. It's on my list. Thinking of getting the roof wrapped in black and the back window tinted pretty dark. Then the sides just tinted lightly as I don't want any police issues! I'll get pics of the wheels up on Friday once I collect them, hopefully they will be on the car by Saturday morning!
  5. I just bought the same wheels as I currently have (non-rays) I really like the design of these wheels and a fellow member was selling some at a good price so decided to get them so I will still have my silver ones if I ever need to go back to standard. Can't wait to get the red ones on. I'm collecting them on Friday evening.
  6. Decided to update this thread... I bought another set of wheels from another forum member which were delivered yesterday, dropped them off this morning for a refurb and powder coating this morning. And the chosen colour is... 'Candy Apple Red'. Can't wait to get them on!
  7. Mine is a 3/4 sized front plate. I have had it on my last few cars for years without any issues.
  8. Only had them on about 2 weeks, but impressed with them so far. I had the geo done as well which made the whole car feel much more stable. I looked at the reviews on http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/ The ZZ3's score an average of 75% whereas the ZZ5's score 82%.
  9. 15th March UPDATE!! - New Rear Tyres - - Laser wheel alignment - ^^^ Updated original post ^^^
  10. I sold my S2000 to buy my current 350z. I loved the S2000, but I agree with the above comments, it is more of a weekend car. I did miss the noise for a bit but now I have an exhaust on the Z that's a thing of the past! My S2000 did run over 300bhp with nitrous though...
  11. I'm just about to order 2 new rears. Going for Avon ZZ5's, they are £130 each from Camskill. http://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s315p108228/Avon_Tyres_Car_Avon_ZZ5_Avon_ZZ_5_-_245_45_R18_100W_XL_TL_Fuel_Eff_%3A_E_Wet_Grip%3A_B_NoiseClass%3A_2_Noise%3A_70dB Reviews here - http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Avon/ZZ5.htm Hope this helps :-)
  12. 25th FEB UPDATE!! - Flip Key Mod - ^^^ Updated original post ^^^
  13. Got myself one of these too. key was cut no problems, feels just like the original. A bit fiddly to get it back together but well worth it, I also used the original buttons from my standard key, they fit perfectly and as someone mentioned above, I think the symbols would have worn off the other buttons quickly. I also got the little replacement nissan badges from ebay. Overall, fantastic little mod for less than £20!
  14. What is the model of your sat nav? I'm looking for one to for in the cubby and yours looks like a perfect fit. Did you have to modify the cubby in any way?
  15. 16th FEB UPDATE!! - Auto Fold Mirrors Mod - ^^^ Updated original post ^^^
  16. Hi all, I decided on 30mm springs in the end. Got some Apex ones and I have to say I am more than happy with them. The ride is excellent, feels pretty much the same as standard and dropped the car exactly how I wanted it, looks great. For anyone researching these springs in the future, here is a before and after photo BEFORE: AFTER: Thanks
  17. Got my kit today thanks Flyboy - will be fitting it this weekend
  18. ^^^ 10th Feb 2013 - updated original ^^^ - Japspeed K1 Exhaust - - Apex Lowering springs - - 20mm Spacers -
  19. I agree, the dark gun metal looks great. I'm glad i photoshopped them first, I've just had one more go, the car is having some 30mm lowering springs fitted as we speak, so i've lowered it, tinted the front windows and improved the grey on the wheels. I think it looks great:
  20. Update! I've updated the original post with some photoshops! Enjoy!
