There's a Strosek one currently going for £50 on eBay at the mo.

Agreed... I put it down to a vastly reduced amount of ginger shoutiness.

Well, so far, tonight's is in a different league. Feels like a proper car show!

Has anyone had any dealings with them? I'm pretty much sure I know what the answer will be, but on the off-chance as their eBay shop has what appears to be the spoiler (or as close to as I can find) I'm looking for. If, by some miracle, it's worth a punt, how much 'fettling' has to be done to make a coupe spoiler fit a roadster? From what I can work out its making it flush to the bootlid more than anything?

Done!

Cheers it's not really too bad until you get too close. Silly plastic bootlid and all!

Awesome stuff! You've done more in three months than I managed in three years with almost exactly the same model! I do like that gaiter, very nice.

Anyone?

Indeed! The rear has annoyed me quite substantially, but the front looks tasty! Lots more planned. I just wish those Senner Tuning spoilers didn't cost a small mortgage...

Fitted some nice Z badges. Front went on no probs, the rear on the other hand... spent a good amount of time making sure the glue was melted with a heat gun, took real care slowly easing the badge off by hand, and much to my dismay a nice big chunk of paint comes off fortunately I'd ordered some paint and clear coat from Paints4U so I've managed to make it look as good as possible. Fingers crossed no-one notices too much! Just goes to show it doesn't matter how much care you take, there's always the chance that something will go wrong...

 

 

 

Also got a nice stubby aerial too

 

 

Next up is a new roof on Tuesday, then next weekend it's the Rays, the stereo (hopefully) and the new gear knob. Don't know why it's taken me three years to start all this, it was a 9 year obsession when I had my FTO!

So, just to make sure, the earth should come from the black connector, right?

Anyone? Looking at the guides on here, the earth wire seems to be from the black ISO connector to an eyelet, not what I currently have. Can I just pull the earth wire out of the white connector, splice it to a longer wire with an eyelet on and that's the job done?

Grrr, now out of stock! I've asked for when there'll be more for those that want but haven't bought yet.

Ooooh I might have to have some blue ones on pay day!

OK, so here's my earth dilemma. The black chassis ground wire goes between the connectors. Now, will this work (I'm no electrical expert, I have NO idea if my amateur soldering efforts are going to work... hence leaving more wire in case I have to resort to those connector blocks!)? Or am I better off snipping it off from the white connector and utilising the longer wire with the eyelet from the doner harness to connect it to the chassis via one of the bolts?

 

Cheers. I'm waiting for some heatshrink to do the Buster mod, I can't be dealing with low output! So basically, when I'm done, plug it all in (no other wiring changes, I'm removing the crappy Bose HU as it's now refusing to change preset stations!) and if it doesn't work, earth to bulkhead? I'd need to understand where this earth should come from as the only black wire there is is between the connector blocks at the moment.

Good old iPhone 6S! I think the HDR setting was on... I do have another question. The earth lead actually goes into the ISO connector, I don't have an end to connect to the chassis. Is this a problem? I have one with the loop connector from my doner ISO harness I could use if needed... I'll put some pics up this evening.

I didn't mind Episode 2 at all. Matt is a lot better than I'd imagined, and I didn't mind Eddie Jordan either. As per what everyone else has said, Evans is the worst thing and I wish thy hadn't 'TFI Friday'd' it so much. The rally mini section is rubbish though (as is the stupid best first car thing), and Evans gloating over his new McClaren ownership was more than annoying (strangely, when Clarkson used to do that I didn't mind at all).

 

Also, they need to stop the whole 'we don't do that anymore' stuff, the public know that Clarkson et al left, we don't need to be reminded! Other than that, it still all feels a bit like when a programme changes its lead roles and desperately hopes no-one notices too much. Oh, and let Sabine Schmitz do more, I want to see her tearing round the track. In fact, I'd have that over the stig...

Not yet, I need to get a jack first! 😑

now a proud owner of a full set of Rays thanks to kayjay0_7 who very kindly delivered this morning. Utter gentleman! I think this thread can now be removed!

it's happened to me as well... tried to polish it out but the paint is soon thin I now have a 'light' patch. I've resorted to ordering touch-up paint until I can afford to have the three panels resprayed

SOLD, 100%. I'll have them. You say that's delivered too? If it is, then I'm definitely having them!

Looking good so far. I have to replace two fronts anyway!

Price please, definitely. They're leagues better than my stock touring alloys. If I can get someone to drive, I can probably collect these as I assume I won't get them in the roadster! How are the tyres?

I would also like a front and rear set for my 350z. How much for a pair of satin including postage?

 

Thanks

 

I'd be interested in details too please.
