    Front Bumper

    Depends on how much you want to spend. You can get a nice look with your OEM bumper and splitter. Popular choices are going for the Nismo V1 bumper or V2 which comes with a splitter attached. There is the Amuse sold by RT performance that can have a splitter attached to it which looks pretty mean. If you have big bucks you can shell out for the V3 from the states or if you want to spend a fortune in the body shop you can get cheap replicas. I would mail Tarmac and see what he has in stock, he always has some sort of rare part if you ask at the right time!!!
  2. I hadn't seen the other one, normally come in threes!!!!!! Hope I dont take the other one again for the team There was a slight bonus to having a Zed in this situation. My big brother text me saying have you broke down or been pulled? His pal, who doesn't know me or have ever seen me text him saying I was at the side of the road with the police car behind me. Can't do anything in a 350z without everyone knowing
  3. Lovely start to a Monday morning! get up early to go into work early and get ahead of my work only to get bumped on the motorway Thankfully the damage is nothing, I hope only had a quick look but I cant see any dents! Was coming along the motorway just at my cut off, it's 5 lanes, 3 outside are the motorway and the 2 inside lanes are for cutting of. the cut off lanes go for around a mile and just near the end there is another entry slip. I was in the in the inside lane and a black insignia was in the outside lane of the cut of lane just ahead of me. A car came on at the slip road and cut out into his lane and was trying to merge onto the motorway. With it being rush hour he had to brake and slow down to get on. He was now doing about 30ish in a 50 zone. I am coming up the inside quite the thing, not a soul in my lane, just as I am about level with the insignia I just clocked his wheels turning in! Panic I swung my car wide but not enough to avoid me and the dreaded shunt at the back. Luckily there is a small lay by just 20 yards infront of where it happened. As you can imagine I got out and went absolute balistic! the guy thought if he shouted louder then it would have made the situation my fault. I thought this guy was going to try and con me so I phoned the police straight away and they sent a car out. In the 20 mins! it took for the Police car to come both of us had calmed down. Looking at my car, it was just a scrape and tbh his was slightly worse as the front bumper had slightly clipped out. I would rather just sort it myself than claim his insurance as even with a non fault claim it can push your premium up. Police arrived and we just said it was sorted and he helped merge us back onto the motorway and off to start a working day!! The moral of the story is stayin your bed!!!
  4. Is it a jap import? they had some different colours but even then don't think any of them were 2 tone
  5. Maybe around that time Martin ill sell you mine
  6. Depends on what the body kit is. If its a front splitter then no it wont. If its a complete front bumper then yes it will. Sides and rear are the same
  7. Mitchell lane next to Diamond dolls, thats a good spot for a picture
  8. You are ironing your own shirt tonight mate worth it though
  9. That makes 2 of us,,, they are terrible looking.
  10. Rear bumper didn't change. No not every zed has parking sensors.
  11. I will be interested to see what final price you have and date as its not the best time for me as I a number of niggles to sort out with the car.
  12. Speak to clarks or zman. £250 I think the arm is
  13. As a man that means.... you may buy it with minimal nagging
  14. Dont think it would look as nice on any other colour. Looks really good on a blade!
  15. Its a pain in the hole sometime mate but tbh so is most cars. There is a window motor reset you can do as well... I would suggest giving that a go before ordering up a new part
  16. I got mine wrapped in gloss black
  17. Common fault mate, Not happened to me thus far but my window does sometimes play up so will happen eventually. Alex/clarks do refurbed motors
  18. thanks for the concern. I will need to check what paint I used to see if it has weakened the helmet.
  19. I know Dan its not ideal but I am more likely to get blisters on my hands that head out the kart head first. I'm sadly not in twin engine karts or anything! I kept one side the orange it already was and done the other side metalic purple. Turned out not bad but the joins between the rubbers and vents are bad
  20. It's your Head Just be careful you do want it for protection not just looks. I really want to say I've never seen anyone come off one and hit their head but I know for a fact ill do it after saying it
  21. Thanks keyser!! I think my prep could have been better even though I did take my time. I did leave it way too long before peeling it off as it had set alongside the paint that wasnt supposed to come off!!! It was always going to be slightly rough so need to work out what needs to be done to rectify it. I imagine because its only for karting I dont need to worry about it being weakened!
  22. Hey guys. Decided I would spray paint my karting helmet 2 tone. I have sprayed my engine bits so I am okay but not great. I preped the helmet fine and tape off the line that segmented the two tones. Prime, multiple coats of top layer with perping in between then multiple layers of clear coat. Finish looked pretty good and was pretty chuffed. Now time to remove the tape. This is were a not bad job turned to terrible. I peeled them off and it looks like the layers that had formed onto of the tape were joined with the part that had to be sprayed meaning it ruined some of the lines and just looks plain nasty. What did I do wrong other than doing it in the first place???
  23. Are they 370z wheels or are you lost ? What did you go for??
