You've inspired me. I'm now planning the alps for late summer having seen this. Cracking read from start to finish. Thanks for sharing.

There's a bumper for sale here, good price. I was looking before but thinking respray now. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/71969-oem-suspension-rear-arms-pre-facelift-front-bumper/

Grrrr. Wish I'd known that 8 hours ago! Top tip.

Tried the shampoo and snowfoam from AngelWax today. Well pleased with the results. This is just after a snwfoam, rinse, two bucket, rinse and dry with their (very reasonably priced) products. I'll be sticking with them for a while. The foam looks well cool, like Ribena, and gives the snow a light purple shade on the car. Now got to do the hardwork bit ;-)

Shiny shiny Where did you get those from? Prefer them to my carbon ones. Thanks. Got them from B2autodesigns in Americaland. I was ordering some other stuff and saw these, I'm not a huge carbon fan so pleased to find these instead. PM and ask Charles, not sure if they're still on their website. Really helpful bloke and great service too, not long delivery time either considering. Just need to know how to clean them now!

Is it me or do you just have to show a spanner to a zed bolt and the head sheers off? Anyway, popped my shiny new bonnet struts in. I imagine they'll stay spotlessly clean all on their own... Edit: since re-installed the right way up... D'oh

Can't the Zed go to your special lady friend? It's such a nice looker shame to lose it. Jag looks mint BTW, especially in lily white.

Nice job. I've got a GM, think I might have to go down this route.

Yeah, but it'll be pristine and she's already got to go in for some other bits and bobs too, so I'm seeing what can be achieved.

Just getting some quotes for a respray. I'll be in touch.

Doesn't sport mode come on automatically when you turn the key? Like in a zed

How have you found it? Setup battery life etc..

It's in a car, and they're advertising something, possibly their assess. Either way, I want to smell their upholstery...

That ass on the door, Dios Mio.

I remember now why I was in brazil for 3 months... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj-R1CCY3N8&sns=em http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR7Ssophuow&sns=em Second only to Colombia in the world's hottest girls World Cup...

Not a sexy ad as such, but it reminded me of Sloane Petersen fom FBDO, who was super sexy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhkDdayA4iA&sns=em

Nicole? So saucy.... Spot a well young Vincent Cassel at the end!

Any idea what it would cost to ship the bumper Dave?

The re-spray was just the door, but I see where you're coming from. Certainly best place to start. Ta. Edit: spelling was embarrassing.

How do you see what's on the screen? look at it? Yeh but with the brightness off? Look at it? You mean the auto-brightness?

Only just seen this thread, awesome effort and an epic route. You've inspired me for a summer jaunt. Love the vids, **** funny in places. Keep it coming!

My pioneer avh-x2500BT will happily play with my iPhone 5 for music and calls, all except for app radio. They recently brought out a firmware update for it in the US along with the world's most complex cable ( http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Accessories/Smartphone-and-iPod-Cables/CD-IV202AV ) which terminates in a lightning connector but also needs some apple cables to plug into it (not free ones!). I have 32 pin with a lightning adapter as this cable didn't exist when I bought the HU, apparently this update means the app radio works with the iPhone 5 now. If you're after the app radio stuff, defo check it's iPhone 5 friendly before splashing the cash.

Withnail is an awesome shout.
