  1. It's white thankfully lol!
  2. Suppose another option is a spray of that part? Trying to do it on the cheap but would rather have something that does the job properly.

    mpss

    Thats an absolute steal. I'm after a set just now and I can't them under £1100.
  4. Bought some of this to use based on the advice on here. Is it safe to use on everything black on the exterior? Sy
  5. Need to remove some wrap from my car as its become chipped and has cracked in some of the tight curves, its the fangs bit below the plate. I've had a look at YouTube for how to get it off, realistically how easy is it? Was thinking of plasti-dipping it this time around as it (should) cope with the curved surfaces better unless in mistaken? Once removed what sort of work should I do on the paint? Polish, Seal & Wax? Would usually just stick it into a professional to do but i've got time on my hands at the moment so thought i'd give it a bash if its something that can be done. Any advice appreciated!!
  6. Double Post. Mods, please delete.
  7. Likewise, we had been on it for a while when I seen you also! Cant believe we drunk that bar dry of lager, we were drinking Strawberry Cider at one point as it was the only alcoholic drink they had haha! Was a great night, U-U-UGANDA!!! I would likely get the stock exhaust stuck back on it if I trade it in via a dealer and sell the other one on here, can't see me taking that Nismo right enough now on reflection, just too many let downs with the service and to me would give an indication of the level of aftercare to expect. Will stick with mine for the time being. Is it alright lying there for the near future? If not i'm sure it'll make a lovely talking piece in my living room lol.
  8. I hope that is sarcasm you obv sat next to AMT for too long !! A touch of sarcasm? Never hahaha!!
  9. I don't know why the camera isn't standard in all 370z's, I've got it in mine and it's a lifesaver when there's a tight space or any hidden obstructions.
  10. Love the 370Z still Jay hence looking at the Nismo. Think my hanging about with the mob on here on Sunday has me looking at things with more aero's attached! I don't like modified cars though, lol.
  11. Went and took the Nismo for a test drive. Really liked it and can see past the interior trim (although would have preferred either racing seats or the GT half-leather). Was a lot quieter than mine due to the exhaust which I actually liked. The car was covered in bird @*!#, had almost no fuel in it (one light and the flashing warning saying 0 miles), had the tyre pressure warning on along with another. The sales guy said he had to drive it out of the dealership for insurance purposes then we could swap around, he then managed to hit the rear nearside wheel off the kerb when parking! The Zed is a nightmare of a car to park if your not used to it, felt terrible for him. Got what I felt was a lowball offer on my car and the finance % was about triple what I could get by going to the bank so left them to come back with a better offer if they want to do business.
  12. No Nismo gear knob, its the stock one. Test-Drove one this morning, that back wing renders the rear window pretty obsolete haha!
  13. They called me about it last week, invited me for a test drive and I turned up and they had the wheels off it haha! Going back to see it on Tuesday. The interior is putting me off quite considerably, it looks and feels cheap in comparison to the GT edition.
  14. Absolutely Stunning. Agree with the above though, would have thought it would have had part-leather given its using the same seats as the normal version.
  15. Got a really uneven patina on my exhausts and want to try and rectify it. Not really sure what to do to sort it. The picture doesnt really capture the problem in its full effect to be honest.

    Bike Rack

    Cheers GM, I've seen a few out there, just wanted an owners view on what was worth buying . They're not cheap for this configuration so was hoping for advocation! I hadn't rode a bike for almost 20 years but loving being being back in the saddle! Will likely compromise soon and just get a Ducati!
  18. Seen a couple this week, both silver 350's, one on a personal reg running around Hamilton and another on a standard plate getting a valet at sponge'n'hoses.

    Bike Rack

    Just bought a bike an was thinking about going a bit further afield for a ride and some of the routes would have some nice driving so fancied doubling the pleasure. Have any of you guys used a bike rack on your 370z?
  20. I've still not used most of the things that came in the last waxy box I got. Love the idea of trying new things but like you cs2000 I just don't have the time for it, gonna stick to the products I like and work for me.
  21. Quite pleased with the shine I got today. Just Poorboys Natty's Blue.
  22. Washed the car this morning then waxed it using Poorboys Natty's Blue. Thought id try out the auto finesse tough coat sealant and used it after the wax. It seemed to take the shine away so i'm guessing i'm doing something wrong! When should I be using this product if at all?
  23. Done the Zed this morning. Snowfoam with Valet Pro pH Neutral. Wash with Dodo Juice - Born to Be Mild Wheels with Wonder Wheels then Iron X Tyres with Megs Dry then Dodo Juice Basics of Bling Rain X on the Windows Took some sandpaper to the exhausts then polished them with Autosol. Interior treated to some mango sauce thing from last months waxybox and a hoover. Had offered to do my mums Astra also, wish I'd done some before pics! Hadn't been polished or waxed since bought in 2006, hadn't been washed since xmas and had been in the supermarket car park wars with scratches all over ever single panel, drivers side door being horrendous. Pleased with the results! Snowfoam with Valet Pro pH Neutral Wash with Dodo Juice Born to be Mild Iron X on all panels Bilt Hamber Clay on all panels with Mer Clay Lube Farecla G3 scratch removal Wash with Dodo Juice Born to be Mild Hand Dried. Wheels cleaned with Wonder Wheels then Iron X. Wheels were still covered in Yellow/Brown staining so used wire wool which worked a treat and activated the remnants of the Iron-X Tyres treated with Megs. Polished with Autoglym High Gloss Waxed with Poorboys Blue Windows treated with Rain X Internals cleaned with Poorboys Trim Restorer. Interior Hoovered and upholstery shampood. Was going to use some of my new Auto Finesse Sealant but by this time I was fed up haha! Need something to treat the black external trim????? Suggestions Welcome screen capture software
  24. Christ, I slid a day old A5 sportback into a kerb and done less wheel damage but bent the axle and done some other damage to the chassis. I'd definitely advise getting the car looked over if you haven't already.
