  1. Hi everyone,

     

    My reverse light isnt working but the bulb is fine. Done a lot of googleing and its all pointing to the reverse light switch. Ive searched and read that its tight but if you can get under the car you can do it.

     

    I ordered the part got the car jacked up and unless im missing something i cant see it possible to replace without dropping the gearbox?! Am I missing something?

     

    Thanks for any advice,

  2. The guys at the paint shop should come out and a colour match to the wheels. I'm also interested in what colour to refurb mine on my gunmetal car. Was thinking shadow chrome but think it may be to similar to the cars colour?

     

    I had mine done in platinum silver on my GM zed and they look pretty good. The platinum silver is the same two coat process like shadow chrome but is a bit lighter and looks a bit like polished aluminum. Somewhere in between shadow chrome and hyper silver. Gives the wheels a nice depth of colour without being too dark.

     

    Interesting, do you have any photos?

  4. Good finish........be interested to see how it wears over time.

     

    The guy says he uses it to dye seats and sofas so its hard wearing. Something about it changing the colour pigment in the leather. The leather still feels soft and just like it did before.

     

    I'm not doing the seats seats as I like them over the black ones :)

     

  5. Hey guys, so I bought my 350z recently with the Alezan interior. I loved the seats but really didnt like the 'tacky' colour coded trim! I paid a visit to a leather renovation specialist and they recommended me this product that they produce to change the colour. Here are my results..

    I think it has come out fantastic and it was really easy to do! My gear knob has seen better days but dyeing it has made it look 100% better than it was.

     

    It didnt take long at all and ive applied 3 coats, and still have half a bottle left! (15ml) The guy rekons its the best in the buisness and will last years before I will need to refresh it. Since doing it ive done just over 1000 miles and the finish is as good as when I applied it.

     

    If other members would be interested in this it cost me £28 for the bottle inc. a brush. He said if I buy in bulk I could get it alot cheaper so wouldnt mind passing this onto you guys on the forum :)

  6. Hi all, ive used the search function but couldnt find much.

     

    Ive recently got my Zed (2004 model) and it has the lovley forged Rays as stanndard. However the rears look a bit lost in the arches and im wondering how much I can space them at the back before I get rubbing issues? What would people recommend for the front too?

     

    Thanks, Tom
