I have had two of the ebay Chinese units, one double din, one single din with flip out screen, so from experience not conjecture: GPS is equally as good as a TomTom and simple postcode entry. Menus operate perfectly. Display is perfectly adequate for dvds, daylight viewing etc Bluetooth is good for phones, better with external mic. Fully loaded with everything you could want and more. My double din is still going strong after 3 years, now in my nephews car if anyone doubts reliability and flip out screen one never cause any problems and its on its second year. Customer service was 2nd to none also, when i first got the double din the sd card for the maps was faulty, had one sent to my door within 3 days. Audio isnt as good as branded, but run a decent amp and its just great as its the amp producing the sound, not the head unit. In the past i have spent days installing high end audio and came to the conclusion whatever you did or spent (within reason) you were always battling against the worst environment possible to try and replicate quality sound. So, for what these provide i personally couldnt be happier.

Thanks, looks good, could i just get a picture with the bootlid shut please

I like a little stretch as hate the look of square sidewalls, even though that is perhaps better for the tyre. Just a gentle curve is perfect

How does the boot cover fit it place, is it oem. Excuse the questions i am new to Zeds.

I do like black wheels and silver, but imho, black wheels has just been done to death. Particularly now manufacturers do black options. Hence why i went wild on my Rezax and want to do something a little off beat and not the norm. The right colour however is a difficult one to get right, but am liking the kandy purple. Also looked at a green in a similar kandy but think that may be a bit too much.

I did think about orange, but think that purple will be more subtle on the black, Thoughts on Gtc's or Sf's now please sir?

Thanks buddy, i really like the midnight purple but might be just a little to dark on a black car

Been over to my sprayer today and he showed me a House of Kolor kandy purple http://www.dorbritzdesigns.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

£800 without the tyres, front lips being repolished as we speak

I know a powdercoater and he advised that if items are left without any kind of lacquer its lacks any uv inhibitors so will dull/fade over time, he then pointed out a set of alloys he had done in the car park owned by someone else on the same industrial estate and they looked very patchy after a couple of years. The lips is such a difficult one, you cant beat polished alloy and even with quality sealing/polish products they do need care above and beyond a painted or powdercoat lip. If you wet lacquer over the top after time you end up with those horrible white worms where the water gets underneath any little defect or chip. Clear anodizing also dulls the finish but is perhaps the most protective and maintenance free coating. Not heard a lot of good things about actual chrome plating on alloy, but it is another option i guess.

How does the chrome powdercoat look in the flesh buddy? Any close up photos?

I have a set of Gtc's too, so deciding between the two at the moment

Oh no! Now I have something to think about! Really appreciate the image

What a legend, they are even the exact same wheel

Good call, liking the purple

I like the gold too actually, but my first Rx7 was the same theme, so would like to go for something different.

If my Volks dont sell this week i have decided to keep them and spray the centres http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/68897-volk-racing-sf-winnings-19/ What do you reckon on a bright candy blue with polished or shadow chrome lip ladies and gents

Not really, you pay 3k less for a Cat D and you get 3k less when you sell it. Net loss is the same as U.K Zed. Might take you longer to sell it though. Pete Problem is that the cat c/d's I've seen are going for 6 - 7k. There is a big difference between advertised price and selling price as i am sure you know. Are they actually selling at that?

Located in Bournemouth buddy, its not really worth it to be honest, they need replacing, its just really annoying that whoever lowered it should have put camber control arms and then the tyres would be fine, loads of tread on 2/3rds

Centres in colour look awesome as above, but not lips

Looks like those awful anodized alloys you used to get on early Advans. Black is about the only colour that works on a lip, except for the obvious, shadow chrome etc

I was always led to believe that they dont use their cars like us, long journeys, commuting etc? Do they also not have a very stringent mot type thing a a certain stage in a cars life that makes it more cost effective to buy new? Is the average mileage of a car in the UK still given at 10 to 12k miles? I also suppose all the rumours of "hair cuts" must have some merit, but i cant quite believe all imports are trimmed.

Would also be interested in a Invidia Gemini exhaust as a p/ex

No smaller

Do they only do 4" tips with the Invidia, its all i can seem to find?
