or look in this thread http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/137-zmanalex/

and hi

Ive plasti-dip'd mine black at the moment, looking to make it more permanent as the dip comes off very easily on the handles, so shall be watching with interest.

Well thats a relief hollowpoint. As my post as just come through the door and it didn't have my tickets in it.

I think this forum may have subliminally affected LlloydV, well I say forum but I obviously mean Keyser

..... well I already had a slight thing for lime green anyway, my kitchen is lime green with black brushed aluminum.

ps I do love that Amethyst purple

Im currently considering a lime green wrap or possibly a bright orange.

Still a work on progress but here she is at the moment

Best I don't commit to times but will pull in there if I get there by that time.

If I miss you guys will the simplest way just to ask a someone on the gate as to where the zx / 350z club stand is?

23a may be a good shout, unless anyone has any other suggestions?

I'm coming from A14, so can meet up at Leicester forest east services between 21 and 21a, but open to any and all plans. Not done a car meet for years and this is 1st one with the 350 so ill just go with the flow.

Are there any plans in place for Sunday? or is it just to turn up and find the stand?

always worth doing colour changes in plasti-dip or equivalent first, I recently 2 toned my blade silver with a black bonnet, roof and rear, didnt like it so just pealed it off. Now ive just done my wheels in black, I think its a big improvement

Nothing. really dislike things from rear view mirrors

nice one - ordered be interesting to see if it works well

this is just the single DIN of what you posted

This is what I have just put in to my car, DAB is good - only problem is that i live in middle of nowhere and signal phases out about 2 miles from my house.

It was on offer when I got it so i think it cost me about £270 installed with DAB aerial etc.

has bluetooth hands free - its pretty good, not quite to the standard of a parrot etc, but its not bad. has 2x usb inputs as well as bluetooth audio, I have an 03 import as well and it all worked first time, though I would suggest getting the shop to fit it unless you have done many before, I did just as Ive not done an install in years and it took the Halfords guy who does it all day every day about 90 mins to do the install as its a bit of a faf.

address resent - hopefully you will have it now

thats very little cans wise, last time I did mine on another car it was 3 cans for 4 corners, but i did about 5 light coats. Im going to be doing my Z wheels in the next few days im expecting about 3 cans, maybe slightly less as they are nice simple designs without too many edges

looks sweet

Thanks for the input guys, im still not sure about it myself, I'm still not over the idea of a complete colour change, I would like it to be a pearl / metallic but the finishers were out of stock.

Well about 1 month in to Z ownership.

So far -

head unit upgrade to a bluetooth and DAB unit.

Stubby aerial

Then today

2 toned the colour to a black top with "plastidip" (this is to make sure its the look I want to go with for a bit until I commit)

Fitted Mines Style front lip.

Exterior pics here

Still to come - wheels are going black in the next couple of days as well. and the speakers front and back are sat in my kitchen at the moment

Considering doing the wing mirrors black as well, considering rear window tints as well

Just thought it may be of use to some, just had a very positive experience with mantis scratch remover after someone very nicely decided I needed another "Z" on my bonnet. Had some Mantis scratch remover sitting around so decided to give it a go.

before

after

As you can see not perfect, but for 5 mins work im happy and after a good polish I think should be gone

damnnnnn only just read through this properly, I cannot vent the way I feel about people like this in a public forum, as im sure a lot of people do. I really admire your restraint in dealing with the driver, just reading that made my blood boil.

So where around the Cambridge area can i get a nicely matched aerosol? Anyone got any recommendations? I have found one in Milton Keynes, but that is a bit of a journey just for a can of spray paint!

ummmm Just found out that there are actually 7 variants of the KYO colour code......

Hi guys, I thought that my car was Blade silver, and i have just got an OEM spoiler to go on it, having just spent most of the afternoon on and off spraying and lacquering it, i matched it up to the car to find its a different silver....

My code under the bonnet says that the car is Blade silver (KYO) but that is whats ive used. I have since looked at this page http://www.350z-uk.c...our-code-guide/ and noticed that my car year (03 import) didn't come in Blade silver according to that table. Is it possible that the car could be Liquid Aluminium (K25) even though the vin plate says its Blade?

i need to get it sorted this week really so that I can get the other bits done that I want to in time for Japfest2.

Any help and opinions would be appreciated, but at the moment im looking at rubbing it back and repainting in Liquid Aluminium.

You can just about see the difference in the photo but its more apparent in person. (and yes it had just started to rain when I went to get the camera)
